How do I get an account?/fr

Créer un compte est facile. D'abord vous choisissez une instance, puis vous vous y enregistrez avec votre courriel et mot de passe.

Comment choisir une instance

• 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)
• Fediverse Observer provides some lists of instances categorized by software. (Automatically collected)
• Fediverse.Party provides a list of themed instances. (Manually collected)

Si vous ne savez pas quel logiciel vous voulez utiliser, vous voudrez peut-être retourner sur Quels sont les projets du Fédiverse ?.

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

Creating your account

All you need to create an account is an email address and a password. No phone number or other form of identification is needed.
You can choose any username that doesn't exist on that instance yet.
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.

Your Fediverse handle will be @username@instance.domain and everybody on the Fediverse will be able to find you with that handle.
