A Powerful Publishing Platform
You no longer have to try and appease an opaque algorithm to ensure your friends see what you post. If they follow you, they’ll see it.
If you publish it to the open web, it’s accessible on the open web. Share Mastodon links confidently, knowing anyone can read them without logging in.
With threads, polls, high-quality images, videos, audio, and content warnings, Mastodon offers plenty of ways to express yourself in a way that suits you.
A Powerful Reading Platform
We don’t need to show you ads, so we don’t need to keep you in our app. Mastodon has the richest selection of third-party apps and integrations so you can choose the experience that fits you best.
Thanks to the chronological home feed, you’ll know when you’ve caught up on all updates and can move on to something else.
No need to worry that a misclick will ruin your recommendations forever. We don’t guess what you want to see; we let you control it.
Protocols, Not Platforms
Mastodon is not like a traditional social media platform; it’s built on a decentralized protocol. You can sign up on our official server or choose a third-party server to host your data and moderate your experience.
Thanks to the common protocol, no matter what you choose, you can communicate seamlessly with people on other Mastodon servers. But there’s more: With just one account, you can communicate with people from other fediverse platforms.
Not happy with your choice? You can always switch to a different Mastodon server while taking your followers with you. For advanced users, you can even host your data on your own infrastructure, as Mastodon is open-source.
Non-Profit in Nature
Mastodon is a registered non-profit in the US and Germany. We are not motivated by extracting monetary value from the platform but by what’s best for the platform.
