The Mastodon social network is active and organized enough for you to find a community that best shares your interests. The microblogging platform also makes a good choice for private remote team communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below we\u2019ll cover how to start a Mastodon account that best fits your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"#private\">Private or Public?<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#install\">Install Mastodon<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#instance\">Choose a Mastodon Instance<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#invite\">Request an Invite<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#rules\">Read Server Rules and Code of Conduct<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#create\">Create a Mastodon Account<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"private\">Private or Public?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you want to demo the Fediverse community or you\u2019re committed to making it your new home, the best option is usually to join an existing Mastodon server (instance). Mastodon makes it easy to delete and revise data at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re considering Mastodon for team communications, you\u2019ll save time and money by understanding how conversations are displayed compared to Mattermost and other chat systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"install\">Install Mastodon<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be worthwhile to create a new instance for small communities based on a demographic region or career field. To <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/fediverse\/install-mastodon-social-media\/\">Install Mastodon<\/a> you must have the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Linux Cloud Server Hosting<\/li><li>Ubuntu 18.04 or greater<\/li><li>Root access<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"instance\">Choose a Mastodon Instance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who choose to join an existing Mastodon server, ask yourself which topic(s) you\u2019re most interested in discussing with others. Federated instances are categorized by general topics (art, demographic region, etc.) and primary language at <a href=\"https:\/\/joinmastodon.org\/communities\/general\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/joinmastodon.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/mastodon-communities-general-1024x683.png\" alt=\"General Mastodon communities\" class=\"wp-image-94256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/mastodon-communities-general-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/mastodon-communities-general-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/mastodon-communities-general-768x513.png 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/mastodon-communities-general.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><figcaption>General Communities<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you just want an active general purpose community, register with https:\/\/mastodon.social, run by the lead developers of the project. https:\/\/mastodon.online is a newer instance by the development team to offset the fact that mastodon.social has 625 thousand users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"invite\">Request an Invite<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While browsing communities you\u2019ll notice that instead of a \u201cJoin\u201d button some will have a \u201cRequest Invite\u201d button.
