Awhile ago another user requested that we list European Friendica instances in the sidebar of this community, and I had to go researching.
Friendica has a pretty cool map and a list on their page of all the instances, but not all of them are actively maintained or open for registrations, so I had to take a better look at them.
Criteria:
- signups enabled
- european / hosted in europe
- more than few months old
- friendica version up to date
- more than 0 active users (many 0 active user servers seem to be more "play around with friendica -servers or single self hosted account servers)
Surprising amount of European instances, but sadly many of them didn’t meet the criteria. Here’s the list I came up with:
Austria: friendica.io
France: poliverso.org
Germany: many options, too many.
I’m looking for recommendations and hoping someone here knows friendica bit better and could recommend a german instance or two!
I’ve had an account there for half a year, but admittedly I’m not very active there because I spend more time on feddit. The federation from feddit.org and augsburg.social works without complaint. The Pirate Party hosts the instance, but I have no idea whether Patrick is personally involved.
Okay that sounds pretty good. Thank you for helping me out! I’ll put up piratenpartei.social as one of the options!
