GNU social development is slow. Pleroma exists if you want to talk to people on both systems. ActivityPub was led by someone working on another GNU project, MediaGoblin. I personally recommend people to Pleroma at this point.

  Mediagoblin is one of those projects that I really want to like, but can't. Admittedly the last time I tried to install it was a year ago, but I remember the installation process being incredibly finicky, and more often than not, resulting in a broken site. And I'm no newbie to this. I've been comfortably RTM'ing and CLI'ing and admin'ing in various Linux flavours (and the occasional *BSD) for over two decades, after I cut my teeth on Slackware 2.something. I've often built LFS just for fun. I've been replacing a gaggle of Excel/Access crap at work with my own homemade golang web apps, despite us not being a tech company at all and me not being a pro developer, just because I know I can do a better job. The point I'm trying to make is that I'm not afraid of putting in effort to learn how to do something complex on a computer. But the Mediagoblin install process broke me each time. But I wholeheartedly agree about Pleroma. It's a fantastic choice for someone looking to host a reasonably-sized microblogging community on truly minimal hardware. It's fast and stable.

    I’m a cofounder of both MediaGoblin and founder and then cofounder of GNU social after the merge with StatusNet. I’ve given up hope on both projects at this point, but MediaGoblin in particular a long while ago.
