# Mastodon

> Join conversations across an open social network.

Mastodon is open-source social software that connects independently run communities. Join a server, follow accounts across compatible servers, and read their posts in a chronological home feed. Posts can include pictures, audio, video, polls, accessibility descriptions, and content warnings.

Each server has its own rules and moderation, so the community you choose affects how your part of the network operates. Individuals or organizations can also host a server themselves. Mastodon's ActivityPub connections place it within the wider fediverse. You can participate through a single account while conversations and follows extend beyond the server where that account lives.
