mastodon for one

tapir: mastodon for one

A small, efficient Mastodon-compatible Fediverse server for single-user instances. Based on Deno. I'm building this live on the web at tapir.social, and you can interact with it now!

Tapir is a work in progress and currently everything is hardcoded. There's no reason to try using it yet.

Planned features:

  • broad fediverse compatibility (quote toots, emoji reactions, etc.)
  • install directly from a URL with one Deno command
  • run with limited permissions (just --allow-net and a single folder)
  • sqlite and postgres backends
  • multiple personas (users) with one login and one home timeline
  • personas can have different timeline styles (make it look like Pixelfed)
  • build your own federated timeline from multiple servers
  • post scheduling
  • sophisticated filter rules and a customizable home timeline algorithm
  • visitors cannot view other servers' posts through your instance
  • follow RSS feeds, Nitter feeds, maybe Nostr feeds
  • personal full-text search
  • oauth login (but only for one account)
  • a plugin system
  • lovable and mischievous tapir mascot
