This is a small curated list of servers to help new users joining Mastodon and the wider Fediverse. All the servers listed have public sign-ups open, have promised to obey certain standards of reliability and responsible moderation, and have opted in to being listed here.

Criteria:
p.s. Some differences between FediGarden and JoinMastodon:
-Servers with over 50k total users will not be listed
-Both Mastodon and non-Mastodon Fedi servers can be listed (though there are still only a few of these at the moment)
-Lists have an ever-changing randomised order and do not prioritise large servers or servers with immediate signups
-Forks are indicated too, if people want a Glitch or Hometown server for example
-Founding dates are shown
