microstatus 
microstatus is a lightweight Mastodon- and GNU social-compatible OStatus and ActivityPub server implementation.
Current Status
microstatus is still under active design and not yet ready for mainstream usage.
If you need something that’s mostly usable today and can’t wait for microstatus to be ready, have a look at GoToSocial:
- while still alpha software, it’s already deployable and usable;
- it’s very lightweight, self-contained and easy to deploy;
- it federates with Mastodon.
Design goals
microstatus aims at the following objectives:
- provide a complete, standard compliant implementation of the OStatus and ActivityPub protocols;
- be extremely lightweight, self-contained and easy to deploy;
- federate with Mastodon and GNU social instances (at least);
- use a hackable, UNIX-friendly storage format;
- come with a nice client API.
microstatus (nice to have) non-goals include:
- providing a scalable implementation of the OStatus and ActivityPub protocols;
- handling billions of users;
- being compatible with Mastodon’s, GNU social’s or Twitter’s client API;
- coming with a nice web or mobile UI.
