Mastodon

Mastodon is a free, open-source social network, written in Ruby. A decentralized alternative to commercial platforms, it avoids the risks of a single company monopolizing your communication. Pick a server that you trust — whichever you choose, you can interact with everyone else. Anyone can run their own Mastodon instance and participate in the social network seamlessly.

Server

Installation

Install the mastodon AUR package.

To set up Mastodon, follow the instructions printed by the post_install script. You can also find a copy of this on the AUR web interface.

Note If you only want to join a Mastodon instance to post and read content, installing a client is enough. You do not need the mastodon AUR package for that.

Clients

A list of Mastodon clients is also available in the project's official website.
