microstatus

microstatus is a lightweight Mastodon- and GNU social-compatible OStatus server implementation.

Design goals

microstatus aims at the following objectives:

• provide a complete, standard compliant implementation of the OStatus protocol;
• be extremely lightweight, self-contained and easy to deploy;
• federate with Mastodon and GNU social instances (at least);
• use a hackable, UNIX-friendly storage format;
• come with a nice client API.

microstatus (nice to have) non-goals include:

• providing a scalable implementation of the OStatus protocol;
• handling billions of users;
• being compatible with Mastodon's, GNU social's or Twitter's client API;
• coming with a nice web or mobile UI.
