Map fediverse

Map fediverse (also called pediverse or pedi) is a network of communicating social media sites made by maps and for maps.

History

The first map fediverse instance that we know of was called phenomenal.masto.host (a pun of the phen identity). It was launched in 2019 by an ex member of the Tumblr map community and shut down a few months later due to anxiety around antis and security.

In May 2020 nnia.space was created by Alice together with Lecter, a former member of phenomenal. nnia.space became the foundation of what is now known as map fediverse, after more instances, created by former nnia members, branched off from it.

List of current instances

nnia.space

nnia.space was co-founded by Lecter and Alice in May 2020 and became the starting point of map fediverse. This instance has anti bigotry rules, does not permit NSFW images and arguments in defense of the pro-contact stance.

nnia.cc

nnia.cc is a daughter instance of nnia.space, created as a back up in autumn of 2023. It has the same rules, but is not connected to other instances and has a more private atmosphere.

mapsupport.de

This instance was made by Consuela in March 2023. It has German-speaking and English-speaking users.

paravielfalt.zone

This is an anti-c instance, made by Sirius in September 2023. The name is a play on the words "paraphilia" and "Vielfalt", the German word for diversity. While the instance is primarily for German-speaking people it also accepts registrations from English-speaking members.

fedi.yesmap.net

The official Newgon instance, launched in spring of 2024 after shutdown of their Matrix server. Many other map instances defederated it due to hostile interaction with a nazi member and threats.

tummy.town

This instance was made by Luwa in 2023. It is advertised as a space for chronologically adult maps and other minorities.

cub.lol

This instance was created by Rabbit, Lucky, Lily, Rain, and Ulith in August of 2024. It was originally put into the works on August 15th, 2024 before becoming open to the public on August 22nd, 2024.

cunnyfu.cc

This instance was made in August 2024 by Zeke. He created it as a space to let people be themselves.

kodo.pictures

The latest instance made by Lucky, created as the successor to miiverse.cafe and cutecatgirls.cafe. The site is open registration as of August 28th, 2024. When asked about her inspiration for the site, and her reasoning for it, here's what she said.

List of inactive instances

phenomenal.masto.host

Launched in 2019 by an ex member of map Tumblr, this was the first known map Mastodon instance. It never gained publicity and was shut down by the admin after a couple of months.

dlf.social

This instance was run by a pro-contact Twitter activist Rel. It was created in 2020, a couple of weeks after nnia.space, and existed for a brief period of time.

pedo.house

This instance was made early into map fediverse' development by a member of nnia and suspended by providers after mass reports from antis.

pedo.school

Made after the suspension of pedo.house by the same admin. It was unavailable for a long time due to problems with domain transfer (Njalla soft-suspended the domain) and later co-existed with freak.university as an almost inactive backup.

freak.university

freak.university, the third iteration of pedo.school, was the longest-living instance in a series of vaguely school-themed map instances. It had an anti-bigotry policy, similar to nnia, but allowed NSFW posts and pro-contact advocacy.

youjo.love

youjo.love was first made in summer of 2021 by a former member of map Twitter, Chizu. This site had much more lax content policy than nnia or freak.university and allowed several openly fascist or transphobic members. At some point it was actively used by Newgon administration and members. After its domain suspension in autumn 2023, it lost most of its users, but retained partial functionality.

hentai.baby

Created as a kodocon sharing instance, and eventually grew to hold many biastophiles and nepiophiles. Suspended (serverHold) by the XYZ registry, which considers lolicon to violate their policy of "child pornography or any images of child abuse" (PDF link)

rapemeat.shop

Created as a successor to hentai.baby by the same admin, suspended (serverHold) by the GMO registry, which deemed lolicon unacceptable "even by [sic] drawing".

youjo.observer

This site briefly served as a replacement after youjo.love's domain suspension, but similarly went down within a couple of months.

lolison.top

This instance was made in the end of 2021 - beginning of 2022 by a former member of childpawn.shop/cunny.finance, Marder. Eventually it started experiencing a range of technical issues and was shut down in the end of 2023. Later its domain redirected to cute.lolison.top.

lolison.network

A backup for lolison.top, created as a temporary solution while the original site was malfunctioning. It has been suspended in May 2024 by their domain provider (Epik) after reports of illegal content.

cute.lolison.top

The newest iteration of lolison.top, made after the old site's shutdown and suspended simultaneously with lolison.network.

ghetti.monster

Spaghettimon's private instance, suspended simultaneously with lolison.network as the domain was also owned by Marder.

childlove.space

This instance launched the day youjo.love had its domain suspended. It was created and moderated with participation of Newgon members. It was advertised as a free speech space and quickly attracted Nazis, who the administration refused to ban despite multiple complaints. In addition to that, some members used it to post CSEM. The instance went down after a short spike of activity.

childlove.su

This site was meant to serve as a continuation of childlove.space, but inherited all of its problems and did not stay up for long.

childlove.top

The third site in the series started by childlove.space, created in July 2024. It featured Nazi dogwhistles right on the main page. It has been taken offline by late August 2024 for unknown reasons.

offkey.cat

This instance, primarily intended for para art, was made by Ezra in mid autumn 2023 and suspended by the domain provider in December 2023 due to mass reports from antis.

oddballs.online

This was a successor of offkey.cat, launched by Ezra in the beginning of 2024. It has been at the center of attention of Twitter and Telegram antis for multiple months after the launch. Eventually repeated DDOS attacks have caused its admin to shut it down in August 2024.

sing.offkey.wtf

This was an activism-focused branch of oddballs.online.

cutecatgirls.cafe

This instance was made in June 2024 by Lucky, intended as a pro-contact youth-lib aligned AAM safe space. This also marks the first youth-made and operated MAP Fediverse instance. The site's lifetime ran until June 28th, 2024 due to extensive drama and the owner's withdrawal from Fediverse over the span of a few days, and was succeeded by miiverse.cafe on July 1st, 2024.

imouto.pics

Created by Rachel as a spiritual successor to lolison.top in May 2024, suspended in July 2024 by the .XYZ registry. Note that although the ICANN wiki lists the registry as Uniregistry, WHOIS data lists .pics as being owned by the XYZ registry, which also lists .pics as owned by them.

imouto.exposed

Created by Rachel in July 2024 as a successor to imouto.pics. Suspended 2024-08-23 by the Identity Digital registry (serverHold).

miiverse.cafe

This instance was made in July 2024 by Lucky, intended as a spiritual successor to cutecatgirls.cafe, sharing the same fundamental values as its' predecessor from June. Miiverse was temporarily defederated by a large majority of MAP Fediverse instances due to aforementioned drama. Miiverse.cafe was shut down on August 27th, 2024, and succeeded by kodo.pictures.
