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!

If you look at the servers that are online and hosted in europe, the amount is admirable, but sadly many of the instances do not meet the criteria mentioned in the above post.
Many of the ones in Germany do meet the criteria and I’d like to find recommendations from german users because there are too many to check and compare. We’d like to put up 1 or 2 recommendations on !buyeuropean@feddit.uk sidebar.
Hey thanks for the recommendation! Do you happen to have any experiences with that instance? Is it hosted by patrick (breier?) from piratenpartei?
I’ve had an account there for half a year, but admittedly I’m not very active there because I spend more time on feddit. The federation from feddit.org and augsburg.social works without complaint. The Pirate Party hosts the instance, but I have no idea whether Patrick is personally involved.
Okay that sounds pretty good. Thank you for helping me out! I’ll put up piratenpartei.social as one of the options!
