Elk: A nimble Mastodon web client

In order to host Elk yourself you can use the provided Dockerfile to build a container with elk. Be aware, that Elk only loads properly if the connection is done via SSL/TLS. The Docker container itself does not provide any SSL/TLS handling. You’ll have to add this bit yourself. One could put Elk behind popular reverse proxies with SSL Handling like Traefik, NGINX etc.

An alternative to Phanpy, which also works with GoToSocial instances. At least this looks more robust than Phanpy. Gotta deploy one soon.

Edit: Wasn’t able to deploy successfully. Sad.

Fediverse Explorer

Browse most recent public posts across the fediverse by hashtag.

This is a great project. Lots of posts I’ve discovered from using this hashtag search. I know the source is on Github, but I wish this is easily selfhostable complete with Docker and compose documentation.

See Github page and blog post.

Mastodon Front-end

Mastodon and other Fediverse instance Front end
Great for when you have an instance that have no front-end, like in my case a GoToSocial instance.

Hollo - Federated single-user microblogging software

Hollo is a federated single-user microblogging software powered by Fedify. Although it is for single-user, it is designed to be federated through ActivityPub, which means that you can follow and be followed by other users from other instances, even from other software that supports ActivityPub like Mastodon, Misskey, and so on.

Hollo does not have its own web interface. Instead, it implements Mastodon-compatible APIs so that you can integrate it with the most of the existing Mastodon clients.

Single-user Mastodon alternative with activitypub.
