Mastodon on a Mac

Self-hosted federated microblogging (ActivityPub) · Social Media

Mastodon is a self-hosted, decentralized social network that federates over ActivityPub; your instance interoperates with the whole fediverse (Mastodon, PeerTube, etc.). Ruby on Rails + PostgreSQL + Redis (+ Elasticsearch for search); run via Docker or from source, served over 443. Put it behind your TLS automation and back its DB up with Database Ops. Own your community instead of renting an X/Threads account.
