Now new themed communities appear daily. 😃

I don't want to bore you with server posts. 🤔 So I'll occasionally post only about the ones that caught my attention. For anyone interested in all updates, check the source: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fediparty/commits/branch/main/source/en/portal/servers/index.md

Also, feel free to filter out the *fediworld* tag in your Filter settings, if you wish to mute such "server posts".

Sometimes we also have to remove many instances from the #FediParty list. :(

Instances behind #CloudFlare aren't listed, because there are already hundreds, and this centralises a lot of #fediverse network traffic in #AS13335.

Any change you might use another CDN, masto admins?

Can you explain the reasoning behind not wanting a lot of traffic behind one network? It make sense in the case of Tor (I run a Tor node), but for Mastodon I'm not sure I understand why?

My reasoning for keeping it: Cloudflare is way more than just CDN. It's a reverse proxy, DDOS and threats protection (WAF), and geo-cache (CDN) all in one. I will never find all these services for that price elsewhere.
