GoToSocial

The Mastodon, Pleroma and Pixelfed alternative

From $20 / month · billed monthly

GoToSocial is a lightweight ActivityPub server for a personal account or a small community. Use a compatible Mastodon client to read timelines and publish posts, while the built-in web interface serves public profiles and provides account and administration settings. Your instance domain becomes part of every account identity and cannot be changed safely after federation, so choose a permanent domain before connecting with other servers.
