About Iceshrimp.NET
Iceshrimp.NET is a free, open-source federated microblogging server for the Fediverse. A ground-up rewrite of the Iceshrimp project in C# on .NET, it focuses on performance, stability and maintainability, with a Blazor web frontend and strong compatibility with the Mastodon API, so popular Mastodon clients work out of the box. Instances federate over ActivityPub with Mastodon, Misskey and others. Iceshrimp.NET suits community admins and individuals who want to run a fast, modern Fediverse server.
