Mastodon

Mastodon is a federated microblogging engine. An alternative implementation of the GNU Social project. Based on ActivityStreams, Webfinger, PubsubHubbub and Salmon.

Current status of the project is early development. Documentation &co will be added later

Status

  • GNU Social users can follow Mastodon users
  • Mastodon users can follow GNU Social users
  • Retweets, favourites, mentions, replies work in both directions
  • Public pages for profiles and single statuses
  • Sign up, login, forgotten passwords and changing password
  • Mentions and URLs converted to links in statuses

Missing:

  • Media attachments (photos, videos)
  • Home timeline, notifications timeline
  • UI to post, reblog, favourite, follow and unfollow
  • Upload header image for profile page
  • Deleting statuses, deletion propagation

Configuration

  • LOCAL_DOMAIN should be the domain/hostname of your instance. This is absolutely required as it is used for generating unique IDs for everything federation-related
  • LOCAL_HTTPS set it to true if HTTPS works on your website. This is used to generate canonical URLs, which is also important when generating and parsing federation-related IDs
  • HUB_URL should be the URL of the PubsubHubbub service that your instance is going to use. By default it is the open service of Superfeedr
