Akkoma

Magically expressive federated social media server software

About Akkoma

Akkoma is free, open source server software for federated microblogging, forked from Pleroma and compatible with Mastodon, GNU social and other ActivityPub services. Users post statuses with unlimited media attachments, follow people on any fediverse instance, react with custom emoji, quote and edit posts, and create polls, with an optional Mastodon style frontend. Anyone can join a public instance or host their own server and remain connected to the wider fediverse.
