I Wrote an Activitypub Server in OCaml: Lessons Learnt, Weekends Lost
https://github.com/rustodon/rustodon#readme which has an awesome name but you're correct it appears that specific repo stalled out. I didn't check on the 41 forks of it

Mozilla to Explore Healthy Social Media Alternative
Good, maybe they'll use their deep rust experience to pick up https://github.com/rustodon/rustodon#readme and drive it forward, or make their own if AGPL is incompatible with the Mozilla licensing infrastructure (I don't know)

RustyPub, a Rust implementation of the ActivityPub protocol that powers Mastodon
there's also Rustodon, though there hasn't been any activity in nearly three years

Mastodon server write in rust?
There was a project called Rustodon, but seems like it's dead.

Server performance
There's one written in Rust too, in even earlier stages of development (no releases): https://github.com/rustodon/rustodon

Official Lemmy instance to migrate off reddit
Honestly if a server allows free login, then it shouldn't matter how the donations are spent, the admins are probably at a loss anyway. I've seen large phpBB forums run on donations for a long time, so maybe federated socials can work too. One unfortunate thing I've noticed from running a single-user GoToSocial instance is that it consumes a lot of storage, I'm getting 8Gb just from myself and the instances I follow. This could be brought down with more agressive cache settings, but it still shows that people using these new social media still have habits from Twitter or Reddit, where bandwidth and storage is paid for by advertisers, and don't realize how many gigabytes they're casually moving around. I really hope this won't be the downfall of the Fediverse.

ActivityPub domains and interactions across different instances on the fediverse
I'll be starting my own instance of the fediverse, something for myself and family only. I'll start with gotosocial, and add a reddit like alternative too, but haven't decided between kbin or lemmy yet. Maybe I'll add pixelfed down the line.

A server to start in the fediverse.
gotosocial is easy to install and easy to use, but you need 3rd party apps on your phone or computers to use it properly. Another option is snac2, you need to compile it manually but it is easy to use once compiled. Its web interface is kinda outdated, but it is usable as it is. Both are very light on resources, and can be installed on $4 vps.

We need a textodon (text-only Fediverse hub)
GotoSocial would be another option (also in Go with SQLite backend.) Although you'll need a front-end because it doesn't ship with one.

Running own Instance
Not sure if you only want Mastodon. If not, I am running https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial on a CPX11 Hetzner instance which costs 5.18 euros/month. Am hosting a few other things, but CX11 instance for 4.51 euros/month will also do well.
- Can I use Mastodon as the backend for the social features in my app?

How much I’ve spent so far running my own Mastodon server on AWS
The main one is how they handle keys[1] which broke federation with Pleroma for a while. There's also some weirdness with their HTTP signing which breaks Honk follow requests but I'm still tracking that down.

I'll play: creating my own server
As u/riffic mentioned, Mastodon is quite heavy. But since mastodon follows (mostly) standard protocols, you can host an alternative. I’m really interested in Gotosocial, which is written in Go so it can run on a cheaper VPS. But it doesn’t seem to support all features (which will be a common thing with alternatives).
