Recommendations for German Friendica instances? (feddit.uk)

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

Italy: poliverso.org

Germany: piratenpartei.social, anonsys.net

I'm looking for recommendations and hoping someone here knows friendica bit better and could recommend a german instance or two!

Edit: we got some nice suggestions, thank you! Edited this post to add. Further suggestions are welcome as well :)

Edit2: fixed a mistake. Poliverso is an italian friendica instance, just hosted in france.

Thank you for the recommendations @caos@anonsys.net!

Seems like anonsys is hosted in Austria, could put it into austria category as well since we also got a recommendation for piratenpartei.social as a german instance, so we can suggest multiple (also loma.ml!).

Appreciate it!

Edit: ah damnit, loma.ml is by invitation only. But anonsys looks good!

It has been an invite-only instance, but it should be open for months now since the invitation system was broken.

Anyway: Big thumbs up for loma.ml - it's excellently maintained and the support is more accessible than your ISP.

Thanks for pitching in and for the extra info!

I'll have to add it to my todo list since dont have a PC at hand and checking stuff/editing the side bar is a pain on mobile.

But will add it! :)
