It is already deployable and useable, and it federates cleanly with many other Fediverse servers (not yet all). However, many things are not yet implemented, and there are plenty of bugs! We foresee entering beta around the beginning of 2024.

## What is GoToSocial?
GoToSocial provides a lightweight, customizable, and safety-focused entryway into the [Fediverse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse), and is comparable to (but distinct from) existing projects such as [Mastodon](https://joinmastodon.org/), [Pleroma](https://pleroma.social/), [Friendica](https://friendi.ca), and [PixelFed](https://pixelfed.org/).
If you've ever used something like Twitter or Tumblr (or even Myspace!) GoToSocial will probably feel familiar to you: You can follow people and have followers, you make posts which people can favourite and reply to and share, and you scroll through posts from people you follow using a timeline. You can write long posts or short posts, or just post images, it's up to you. You can also, of course, block people or otherwise limit interactions that you don't want by posting just to your friends.

Because GoToSocial uses [ActivityPub](https://activitypub.rocks/), you can hang out not just with people on your home server, but with people all over the [Fediverse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse), seamlessly.

Federation means that your home server is part of a network of servers all over the world that all communicate using the same protocol.

Users can [choose from a variety of fun themes](https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/user_guide/settings/#select-theme) for their profile, or even write their own [custom CSS](https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/user_guide/settings/#custom-css).

## Known Issues
Since GoToSocial is still in alpha, there are plenty of bugs. We use [GitHub issues](https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Abug) to track these. The [FAQ](docs/faq.md) also describes some of the features that haven't been implemented yet.
### Client App Issues
GoToSocial works great with Tusky and Semaphore, but some other client applications still need work or have issues connecting to GoToSocial. We're tracking them [right here](https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/projects/5). It's our goal to make any app that's compatible with the Mastodon API work seamlessly with GoToSocial.
### Federation Issues
Since GoToSocial is still in alpha, there are plenty of bugs. We use [GitHub issues](https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Abug) to track these.
Since every ActivityPub server implementation has a slightly different interpretation of the protocol, some servers don't quite federate properly with GoToSocial yet. We're tracking these issues [in this project](https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/projects/4). Eventually, we want to make sure that any implementation that can federate nicely with Mastodon should also be able to federate with GoToSocial.

## Building
Instructions for building GoToSocial from source are in the [CONTRIBUTING.md](./CONTRIBUTING.md) file.
## Releases
### Stable
We package our stable releases for both binary builds and Docker containers, so that you don't have to build from source yourself.
## Getting Started
Check our [releases page](https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases) and our [getting started](https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/getting_started/) documentation.
### Stable Releases
We package our stable releases for both binary builds and Docker containers, so that you don't have to build from source yourself.
The Docker image `superseriousbusiness/gotosocial:latest` will always correspond to the latest stable release. Since this tag is overwritten frequently, you may want to use Docker CLI flag `--pull always` to ensure that you always have the most up-to-date image every time you run using this tag. Alternatively, run `docker pull superseriousbusiness/gotosocial:latest` manually just before use.
### Snapshots

## How can I sign up for a server?
Right now the only way to create an account is by the server's admin to run a command directly on the server. A web-based signup flow is in the roadmap but not implemented yet.
We introduced a sign-up flow in v0.16.0. The server you want to sign up to must have enabled registrations/sign-ups, as detailed [right here](./admin/signups.md).

If you've ever used something like Twitter or Tumblr (or even Myspace!) GoToSocial will probably feel familiar to you: You can follow people and have followers, you make posts which people can favourite and reply to and share, and you scroll through posts from people you follow using a timeline.

The timeline is chronological: whatever you see at the top of your timeline is there because it's *just been posted*, not because it's been selected as interesting (or controversial) based on your personal profile.
GoToSocial is not designed for 'must-follow' influencers with tens of thousands of followers, and it's not designed to be addictive. Your timeline and your experience is shaped by who you follow and how you interact with people, not by metrics of engagement!
GoToSocial doesn't claim to be *better* than any other application, but it offers something that might better *for you* in particular.

## History and Status
This project sprang up in 2021 out of a dissatisfaction with the safety + privacy features of other Federated microblogging/social media applications, and a desire to implement something a little different.
It began as a solo project, and then picked up steam as more developers became interested and jumped on.
## Known Issues
Since GoToSocial is still in alpha, there are plenty of bugs. We use [GitHub issues](https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Abug) to track these. The [FAQ](./faq.md) also describes some of the features that haven't been implemented yet.
