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!

France: Social.trom.tf

Poliverso.org is NOT a French instance but an Italian instance!

Can you correct it, please?

Know that social.trom.tf is a perfect instance for the French-speaking public

I will add a disclaimer underneath. Thank you for this!

Well we run Friendica.World which is European but I wouldn't recommend registering there just yet, we first need to get performance issues fixed..

I see you have set it as spotlight though ;-)
