I don't really use social media (no Facebook, twitter etc.) and have not kept up well with the various new technologies and terms in the field (e.g. mastodon etc.). But I use Firefox and like Mozilla so I am interested in what this is. But to the untrained eye, what is it? It looks a bit like Twitter.
I think the information shown via the small "About" link (bottom right) should be more prominent on the main page. At least some of it - to explain what this site is.

For the frontend, they are using a customized version of a web client called elk.zone, which is open source and indeed made to look at lot like Twitter.
