About Fedi.Garden
Fedi.Garden is a guide for people who want to join Mastodon or another server in the fediverse, a non-corporate social network that the site describes as created, owned and operated by ordinary people and community groups. The site explains that you join by signing up on a server, and that you can follow and be followed by people on other servers. It offers help in choosing a server: a suggested server, a directory of listed servers, answers to questions before signing up, next steps after creating an account, and instructions for transferring an account to another server while keeping follows and followers. The site states that it does not use AI or LLMs and that its content is written by people.
Fedi.Garden manually checks each listed server's rules and feed for red flags when the server is listed, and asks server admins to confirm that they follow rules on responsible moderation and technical reliability. It does not have the resources for a formal audit, and it asks users to get in touch if a listed server has done anything problematic.
