This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/Mastodon

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Mastodon

    Your self-hosted, globally interconnected microblogging community

  • Ultimately, any past or current delays can be explained by staffing shortages. Before our budget skyrocketed in November, some periods during this year we didn't have enough money to have people working on redesigning joinmastodon.org at the same time as continuing to add new features to the apps, so the apps were on hold.

  • mastodon-ios-apps

    An ongoing, (hopefully) complete, collaborative list of all Mastodon apps on iOS.

  • In the meantime, you could try a third party app such as Fedilab or Tusky.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • forgefed

    ForgeFed - Federation Protocol for Forge Services

  • There is an active project working on it: https://forgefed.org/ , and Codeberg is likely to support it when it's ready.

  • gitlab

  • the federated gitlab ticket is 4 years old now: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/6468

  • joinmastodon

    The official Mastodon project homepage

  • Now you have some more work to do, and probably some more money in the project, will you be delegating the development of the joinmastodon.org to a team to take advantage of UX input?

  • mastodon

    A glitchy but lovable microblogging server (by glitch-soc)

  • Can we expect to see any of the https://glitch-soc.github.io/docs/ features coming to Mastodon mainline soon? Post formatting? Highlighting of misleading links? or local only posting?

  • mastodon-e2ee-specification

    Soatok's Proposal for End-to-End Encryption in Mastodon

  • This is a very hard problem to solve. I know it's being worked on by some smart people though, see https://soatok.blog/2022/11/22/towards-end-to-end-encryption-for-direct-messages-in-the-fediverse/

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • documentation

    Mastodon documentation (by mastodon)

  • https://github.com/mastodon/documentation documentations are here. I guess you can upload your documentation in the manner in the style as seen there. Although the documentation that you want is more related to code.

  • rathole

    A lightweight and high-performance reverse proxy for NAT traversal, written in Rust. An alternative to frp and ngrok.

  • rathole

  • frp

    A fast reverse proxy to help you expose a local server behind a NAT or firewall to the internet.
