Want to learn more about Mastodon? Click below to find out more in a video.
Mastodon is a free, open-source social network server based on ActivityPub where users can follow friends and discover new ones. On Mastodon, users can publish anything they want: links, pictures, text, and video. All Mastodon servers are interoperable as a federated network (users on one server can seamlessly communicate with users from another one, including non-Mastodon software that implements ActivityPub!)

Features
No vendor lock-in: Fully interoperable with any conforming platform - It doesn't have to be Mastodon; whatever implements ActivityPub is part of the social network! Learn more
Real-time, chronological timeline updates - updates of people you're following appear in real-time in the UI via WebSockets. There's a firehose view as well!
Media attachments like images and short videos - upload and view images and WebM/MP4 videos attached to the updates. Videos with no audio track are treated like GIFs; normal videos loop continuously!
Safety and moderation tools - Mastodon includes private posts, locked accounts, phrase filtering, muting, blocking, and all sorts of other features, along with a reporting and moderation system. Learn more
OAuth2 and a straightforward REST API - Mastodon acts as an OAuth2 provider, so 3rd party apps can use the REST and Streaming APIs. This results in a rich app ecosystem with a lot of choices!
Deployment
Tech stack
- Ruby on Rails powers the REST API and other web pages
- React.js and Redux are used for the dynamic parts of the interface
- Node.js powers the streaming API
Requirements
- PostgreSQL 12+
- Redis 4+
- Ruby 3.2+
- Node.js 18+
The repository includes deployment configurations for Docker and docker-compose as well as specific platforms like Heroku, and Scalingo. For Helm charts, reference the mastodon/chart repository. The standalone installation guide is available in the documentation.
