Do you want to make your own Mastodon server? It's much easier and cheaper than you think, there are three ways to do it:

NON-TECHY - A "managed hosting" company does all the techy stuff for you behind the scenes. Starts from 5 to 10 euros per month all inclusive.

SLIGHTLY TECHY - Services like @yunohost@toot.aquilenet.fr provide a graphical interface for VPSs & home servers.

VERY TECHY - Manually installing using the official documentation and command lines.

If you really like something, you might want to also boost it 🔁 (which shares it with your followers).

There is no algorithm on here, so you can like and share whatever you want without any additional side effects.

Your timeline on here is entirely in your direct control, it isn't going to push stuff at you or hide stuff just because you liked or shared something.

Hello everyone, happy new year! 🥳

Apologies for the spotty updates in the past couple of weeks. As I posted on my personal account recently, I've had to deal with some real life personal stuff over the Xmas period but normal service should be resumed from 2nd January 2026!

(If I've missed your question or message, I'm sorry. It is 100% fine to ask again or message again if you want to.)

Every server on here can have its own custom emoji, e.g. or

Custom emoji are special emoji added to your server by your server's admin. People on other servers can see them but not use them.

- On an app, click the 🙂 icon within the app to access custom emoji and the 🙂 on your keyboard to access normal emoji.

- On the web interface, use the 🙂 icon to access both normal and custom emoji.
