Is mastodon accepting new members?

6 points by metadat 4y ago

I've tried joining 3 different instances, but no confirmation email has found it's way into my gmail inbox or spam folder. Is the mastodon network accepting new members? Or having technical issues? Curious to learn if anyone has successfully joined today. Servers tried: https://mastodon.sdf.org/ https://mas.to/ https://c.im/

Some servers have had to turn off registrations due to the unusually large influx of new users.

  Do you know of any open English-speaking ones? (With other languages I fear I won't be able to easily understand their TOS agreement or navigate the site very well)

    My wife just got on mas.to, you could try that.

      Thanks, the sdf.org confirmation just came through after about 1 hour. I kinda thought the network would be more prepared for the influx.

  This doesn't seem to filter out the ones not accepting members, it doesn't help with OP's problem. The official list does: https://joinmastodon.org/servers https://joinmastodon.org/servers (but few are open)
