  • This submission should really be https://joinmastodon.org, the site of the project itself and not just Eugen's instance.

  • gotosocial

    Fast, fun, small ActivityPub server.

  • And there are others, e.g. GoToSocial ( https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial ), written in Go.

  • 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.

    Sydent: Reference Matrix Identity Server

  • As far as I understand, the new EU Digital Markets Act [1] will support this - forcing big platforms to allow interoperability.

    Awesome for platforms like Matrix [2] which are all about supporting federation and bridges to other services (such as Signal, which is hostile to federation).
