Hello! You are probably wondering why the domain for this website is "home.vrparty.social"? That is because we also have a VR-Centered Mastodon instance! You can find it at vrparty.social

Below you will find some information about Mastodon, what it is, and resources relating to the VRParty instance. For more information relating to VRParty, please click the link above to visit the VRParty about page!

Source

Last but not least is the Mastodon source code. As stated on the about page VRParty is running a vanilla instance of Mastodon which means we are running the exact samecode as on the official git repo.
