Pleroma, and others. Our goals are:</p><ul><li>Allowing multiple domains on the same server (“virtual hosting”)</li><li>Efficient, stable background tasks via asynchronous state machines</li><li>A default fast, low-JavaScript web interface</li><li>Mastodon Client API compatibility (eventually!)</li></ul><h2 id=why-start-another-server>Why start another server?</h2><p>The main motivation was to prove two things - that virtual hosting of multiple
|
||
domains on a single ActivityPub server was possible (so you don’t need
|
||
to run a whole new server for every person or organisation that brings their
|
||
own domain), and to explore the use of Python’s asynchronous libraries to
|
||
speed up the large amount of background work ActivityPub involves.</p><p>Fortunately, both of those have proved themselves to work well in the initial
|
||
build-out phase, and so now development is focused towards a small, reliable,
|
||
stable release.</p><p>While we do not expect to grow as large and featureful as Mastodon, the goal
|
||
is to provide a smaller, lighter-weight server that is useful for small- to
|
||
medium-size instances. The architecture we’ve chosen is deliberately easy to
|
||
run and maintain but will not scale to a large install, and that’s fine.</p><h2 id=more-insight>More Insight</h2><p>Takahē is, so far, mostly authored by <a href=https://aeracode.org/>Andrew Godwin</a>,
