I've been running a bunch of stuff with Yunohost for a while. They cover most fediverse software. I do have some things to add here though.

  1. You don't need to configure DNS for your subdomain. I'm not going to pretend to understand how this works but I did not do anything and it works fine. Yunohost handles it somehow.

  2. You will need a frontend to use GTS. Yunohost also provides packages for Phanpy (my personal favorite) and Elk. Or you can just use your favorite Mastodon phone app.

  3. GTS is very unique even amongst Yunohost packages in that it provides a ton of graphical dropdown configuration options that makes it even easier to use. I believe this one has first-party support from GTS devs but can't say for sure because I've been blocked by Codeberg for the last several weeks.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much more with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ˜
