Apparently JoinMastodon.org was recently attacked by a DDoS.

The Fediverse needs more than just JoinMastodon to help new people find servers. It's a single point of failure that could be crashed or bought out.

I've started an independent curated server guide at https://fedi.garden and would encourage others to create curated onboarding sites too.

If you run a Fedi instance (Masto or not) that complies with the Mastodon Covenant (https://joinmastodon.org/covenant) please get in touch.
