Hmmm
It was tempting at first but i'm not fluent in go
Also npm or JS stuff server side is a no go for me. So there's that.

Anyway, enough of my life 🤪
My point is : mastodon is not what it says it is. It's not for the masses, It's a bit community driven, but not realy, mostly monolitic, not so well documented, heavy and tricky to install.
And i think this is by design.

@FediTips
Nice guide
I totaly agree with you.

There's something else bothering me about Mastdon (mainly about dev) Long story short: i tried to make my own server last year, but just can't. Basicaly I wanted to use Mastodon as the activitypub engine, add front-end on top of it. But I had so many issues. The community didn't help, at all.
I'm starting to think it's on purpose.
Now i'm coding a full activitypub server, with xmpp userbase.
I hope more dev will know about AP, XMPP & fedi stuff
