documentation/Using-Mastodon/List-of-Mastodon-instances.md

We are no longer maintaining this list as instances are popping up too quickly for us to track them manually. Please standby while we work on another solution. **In the meantime, there is an updated list at [instances.mastodon.xyz](https://instances.mastodon.xyz) showing realtime information about instances as well as proposing a selection of them.**
