Top 9 Go Mastodon Projects

gotosocial

29 3,443 9.7 Go

Fast, fun, small ActivityPub server.

Project mention: Official Lemmy instance to migrate off reddit | /r/rust | 2023-06-05

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.

wayback

22 1,642 6.1 Go

A bot for Telegram, Mastodon, Slack, and other messaging platforms archives webpages.

Project mention: If we lose the Internet Archive, we’re screwed | /r/opensource | 2023-05-14

I wish there was an alternative to the Internet Archive with collaborative curation. You share files and people who tag and sort them into albums can download them. And if it was federated it could be just as extensive as the Internet Archive by searching files on many instances at the same time. Sadly the closest thing are ArchiveBox and wayback which won't replace the Internet Archive.

Project mention: Downloading a video should be “fair use” as recording a song from the radio | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-13

In principle, if you want the post and comments without JS you can just pull the underlying ActivityPub document (application/activity+json). I made a command-line browser based on this idea: https://github.com/bentonedmondson/servitor
