Public Server List 2024-02-25T10:53:10+01:00

When using the Matrix protocol, consider the following list to sign up at a homeserver other than matrix.org to foster decentralization and make use of federation. Depending on your requirements, you'd might want to choose a provider bridging to other services or featuring bots.

Provider Homeserver URL Status page Special features (selection)
envs.net matrix.envs.net https://the-federation.info/node/envs.de Bots: Poll, Reminder, XKCD and much more
Freifunk Südholstein freitrix.de https://the-federation.info/node/freitrix.de Run by a german Freifunk1 community
Nitrokey nitro.chat https://the-federation.info/node/nitro.chat Run by IT security professionals2
sp-codes matrix.sp-codes.de https://the-federation.info/node/matrix.sp-codes.de Run by a security and privacy enthusiast3 providing a german guide
tchncs.de tchncs.de https://the-federation.info/node/tchncs.de Bridges: Discord, Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp

Although I'm trying to keep this list up to date, it might be outdated once in a while. Therefore, you may check if the homeserver of your choice still provides open signups on its status page before registering.

More resources

This is just a selection of providers I recommend in terms of privacy. Join Matrix! has compiled a list of public homeservers and a get started guide for beginners.

If you're looking for a comprehensive list of all homeservers, visit the statistics on matrix of The Federation. Be patient when opening this site as it renders statistics on demand and may take some time to load.

{{< callout type="warning" >}} Last but not at least there's another unofficial list of public Matrix servers at hello-matrix.net, but it seems rather outdated. {{< /callout >}}
