Creating an account is easy. First you choose an instance and then you register with your email and password. | |||

* Our [[Local instances]] page helps you if you want an instance local to where you live. (Manually collected) | |||
* Our [[Special interest instances]] page helps you if you want an instance based on an interest of yours. (Manually collected) | |||
* [https://fediverse.observer/ Fediverse Observer] provides some lists of instances categorized by software. (Automatically collected) | |||

If you don't know what software you want to use yet you might want to, go back to [[What are Fediverse projects?]]. | |||

Once you found an instance, before you create an account, make sure you get familiar with the instance rules and are okay with them. <br> | |||
Too few or soft rules could mean you're getting a lot of unwanted messages or posts on your local or global feeds. <br> | |||
Also be aware if the instance says it's a [[Free speech|free speech]] instance. For most people that is not the good thing it sounds to be. | |||

== Creating your account == | |||
</div> | |||
== | <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> | ||
All you need to create an account is an email address and a password. No phone number or other form of identification is needed. <br> | |||
You can choose any username that doesn't exist on that instance yet. <br> | |||
So even if someone else on the Fediverse is already called @anonymous you can still call yourself @anonymous if you're on a different instance. | |||
</div> | |||
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> | |||
Your Fediverse handle will be @username@instance.domain and everybody on the Fediverse will be able to find you with that handle. | |||
