Mastodon for institutions

Features for institutional instances of Mastodon

Mastodon is a widely used open-source social media platform and the best alternative to the big tech text-based social media. This proposal aims to enhance its suitability for institutional use deploying their own server by introducing features such as customizable branding and landing pages, stronger security options like enforced 2FA and WebAuthn, the ability to embed timelines on external websites, and email-based post subscriptions for broader public reach.

Those features have been asked by many organizations that are working on establishing a presence on the open social networks and will allow them to use Mastodon as their official Fediverse presence.

Run by Mastodon gGmbH
