Hi! I’m looking to collate/list community-funded Fediverse ISPs with multiple services. Some aggregate of servers that offer multiple services, not necessarily just Fediverse related, but at least one Fediverse service.
As examples, I can list:
I know there’s one out there that also provides email (can’t recall which), which is interesting as most people wouldn’t dare.

You probably mean https://disroot.org/
- lemmy.wtf provides peertube.wtf and piefed.dk too.
- lemmy.world is hosted by https://fedihosting.foundation/ , together with other .world instances and several stux’ fediverse instances, like mstdn.social and gram.social
- https://dotzip.ltd/
- https://fedecan.ca/
- infosec.exchange has got many sister services, listed here
- https://devol.it/ hosts largest Italian fediverse instances
- https://fediverse.neat.pub/
- Framasoft made Mobilizon (and hosta its main French instance), makes PeerTube and hosta e.g. Framapiaf (a Mastodon instance) and more
- many such providers in France are members of CHATONS
- from Poland, there is wspanialy.eu, with Mastodon, FreshRSS, and recently also Matrix and WriteFreely
this obviously is not exhaustive
I’m sorry, but what a confusing website. And I started on the web in 1995. What services to they offer? I couldn’t find a list anywhere.
community-funded
Community underfunded. What the community is giving out barely covers the cost of the hardware, much less the labor of the admins.
Last year I considered offering accounts via a Caffe Sospeso on Communick, but it quickly became clear that is was going to suffer from the tragedy of the commons. Everyone that was willing to bear the actual operating costs would prefer to run their own servers to serve themselves, and the ones that were asking for “community supported” accounts were overwhelming just interested in free-riding.
There are people willing to donate their time* so only funding the hardware and other unavoidable running costs is often fine. If you find it too much workload, try looking for other volunteers.
*because contrary of what some economist think, it is often more enjoyable to work on something that isn’t paid, then to use the same time to work for money and pay for the service. You see the same effect with the people that prefer selfhosting as you say.
