      A GNU Social-compatible microblogging server.
      Mastodon is a free, open-source social network server. A decentralized solution to commercial platforms, it avoids the risks of a single company monopolizing your communication. Anyone can run Mastodon and participate in the social network seamlessly.

                Maybe https://pleroma.social/ could be an alternative to Mastodon

                From https://blog.soykaf.com/post/what-is-pleroma/:

                Pleroma is a microblogging server software that can federate (= exchange messages with) other servers that support the same federation standards (OStatus and ActivityPub). What that means is that you can host a server for yourself or your friends and stay in control of your online identity, but still exchange messages with people on larger servers. Pleroma will federate with all servers that implement either OStatus or ActivityPub, like GNU Social, Friendica, Hubzilla and Mastodon.

                How is it different from Mastodon?

                If you are currently using Mastodon, you are probably interested in the differences between Mastodon and Pleroma. Here are some of the big ones.

                Lower system requirements.
                {...}
                Less moving parts.
                {...}
                Internally ActivityPub.
                {...}
                Compatible with Mastodon clients (including the Mastodon frontend).

                  I have finished packaging it.

                  https://git.cloudron.io/synchrone/mastodon-app

                  The app needs a minimum of 640 MB of RAM to start up and stabilize. After it, the memory consumption seems to go down a bit, but cloudron will still require that much for it.

                  It is available for testing under <your-cloudron>/#/appstore/org.joinmastodon.cloudronapp?version=2.6.1

                    I gave it a quick spin and it appears to work well! With further testing and adding end-to-end tests (where we happily help out) I am looking forward to have that available for all. Thanks already ๐Ÿ™‚

                          I tested it and I'm able to get the front page loading but it times out on both registering and login processes. This is both from the /#/appstore/org.joinmastodon.cloudronapp?version=2.6.1 source and when building it myself. Even tootctl freezes to a halt. There's plenty of memory on this VPS. What's wrong? Should allocate even more memory for the app?

                            FYI: Nextcloud integrates (?) Mastodon in v 15:

                            By using the popular ActivityPub standard, Nextcloud users can subscribe to and share status updates with users in the so-called โ€˜fediverseโ€™, an interconnected and decentralized network of independently operated servers! This allows federation of Nextcloud servers with the popular decentralized Mastodon network, where tens of millions of users already โ€˜tootโ€™ with one another, potentially growing the fediverse by an order of magnitude. According to wikipedia, Peertube, Pleroma, Friendica and soon Diaspora are part of this same network, as are almost a dozen more communities. As every one of the hundreds of thousands of Nextcloud servers turns into a potential hub in the fediverse, we are very excited about the possibilities this will give our users to communicate with others!

                                      Just pushed out an updated version of Mastodon for testing (v2.8.4). For link to install add the following to your domain string: (#/appstore/org.mastodon.cloudronapp?version=2.8.4). Your testing would be greatly appreciated. I will try to keep up with newest release and better manage the repo. The main git is at (https://git.stealthdrop.cloud/c1t1z3n0n3/mastodon_cloudron) for you to submit issues we also have a support rocket.chat at (https://support.helpchangethe.world). This app would not be possible without the giants that put in the work of the first packages. Happy Testing
