Yes. I looked at Express middleware and it seems that a minimal server to interact with Mastodon is more than a few days work.

  Hahaha, I've been working on a server, a client, and adjacent plumbing for about 4 years non-stop as a side project. Spoilers: it's still not fully done. :)

    Btw. What are the requirements to run an instance?

      Of my software? A random machine with a network connection. It targets small/medium communities, so the focus is for ease of installation. You only have a static binary, or a container to run. :D However that is just the ActivityPub service, there are no full clients for it(yet) outside of a link aggregator/discussion platform similar to old(reddit) and HN, which is another static binary, or container. See my profile for links to the projects if you want more details.
