My Thoughts on GoToSocial - James Ashford

I'm passionate about self-hosting and want to run my own ActivityPub-powered network without relying on others. After struggling with Mastodon, I found GoToSocial—a lightweight, privacy-focused alternative. It’s easy to set up and shows promise for those wanting more control on the Fediverse.

I am not the author.

After reading this and trying to get snac2 working, I tried GoToSocial. worked out well so thought I would come back here.

Does GtS not support relays? That’s what everyone uses to seed their new instances. I’m on a single user instance and have thousand of posts from hundreds of instances coming in daily.
- Can you configure your GtS instance to not federate at all, say if you wanted to run a private instance for friends?
  
  Yep from what I understand.
  
  Looks like it doesn’t specifically but you can lock it down still.

- Dunno. But I've had no issues so far with gts.
