    If you're running a personal server and you keep sign-ups closed, then there wouldn't be much moderation as you would be the only person on the server.

    The only stuff you would see showing up on your server is whatever you choose to follow, plus whatever they share (and also whatever relays you connect to if you want to, but relays are optional).

      I run a website at https://fedi.garden that recommends instances, and the official Mastodon list is at https://joinmastodon.org/servers

      These two sites are good because they have certain requirements for being listed (https://fedi.garden/about-this-site and https://joinmastodon.org/covenant).

      There are also other sites with much bigger selections of servers, but they usually don't have requirements so they're more dangerous to rely on.

        p.s. If you're already on mastodon.social, you can move to a different server.

        If you only just signed up and have no or very few followers, easiest option is probably to sign up on another server and forget about your mastodon.social account.

        if you've already got a significant number of followers and you want to keep them, you can move your account to another server using the transfer process. There's a non-technical step-by-step guide to moving your account here: https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server

        p.p.s. For people wondering why mas.to is better option than mastodon.social, here are some figures:

        mastodon.social currently has ~20% of active Fediverse accounts

        mas.to currently has ~1% of active Fediverse accounts

        Mastodon.social is just so much larger than other servers and keeps growing, it is putting the network itself in danger.

        I totally get the idea of having a single suggested server, but we need to regularly rotate which single server is suggested so we spread growth out.

                It's the same owners so I'd suggest leaving there too. The danger is from the common ownership with mastodon.social.

                            If you're helping people sign up on here, that's great! 👏

                            However, I'd strongly suggest not signing up on the mastodon.social server. It's way way too large and that's dangerous (here's why https://fedi.tips/its-a-really-bad-idea-to-join-a-big-server).

                            I know some find choice overwhelming, so if you just want one general long-established very busy server https://mas.to is a better option for example.

                            There are also lots of other good servers listed at https://fedi.garden and https://joinmastodon.org/servers

                                    Yes, it is! I was just about to post a follow-on to the post telling people how to move an account while keeping their followers 🙂

                                    There's a non-technical step-by-step guide to transferring your account at https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server

                                    I know it seems scarily long but each step is very simple. I've written it that long to make each step as easy as possible. Also following this guide moves lots of other stuff too including bookmarks, account blocks etc.

                                    "you don’t care about transferring anything else, you can skip steps 5 and 6"… the people you follow are in a csv file… when I transferred from .cloud to .social my followers came over but I skipped steps 5 and 6 so I had to follow my followers manually and then pick up other follows gradually as I remembered them…

                                      Steps 5 and 6 let you transfer the other stuff (including people you follow).

                                      You should only skip those steps if you *just* want to transfer your followers (people who follow you).

                                      They're done by two different methods to prevent spammers cloning followers and spamming them.

                                        you might include that
                                        and also the reasoning above

                                          Thanks for the feedback 🙏

                                          I've added another sentence to it and tweaked it, is this better?

                                          "If you just want to move your followers (people who follow you) and don't want to transfer anything else, skip steps 5 and 6."

                                          "If you also want to move your follows (people you follow) you need to include steps 5 and 6."
