After much gnashing of teeth I have updated my personal web site.

Therefore it is time once again to solicit contributions to the Fediverse databases available there:

1. Fediverse Near Me / StartHereSocial

If you know of a federated platform that serves a specific language, locale, institution, topic AND it's accepting new accounts, you can read the inclusion criteria and send suggestions here: https://jaz.co.uk/projects/mastodon-near-me/#inclusion-criteria

(Please boost this one for visibility, more below)

2. Organisations using ActivityPub

This is where I catalogue any companies, NGOs, governments etc that publish on their own domain (not "has an account on some server somewhere").

If you know any entity that has any kind of self-hosted social media presence on THEIR domain, please let me know so I can update this database:

Organisations Using ActivityPub

This catalogue highlights organisations that operate their own federated platforms such as Mastodon, PeerTube, or other ActivityPub software using their own domain name.
