gyptazy.ch is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
It's taking longer than expected to finish the account migration feature (take your Pixelfed followers to another PF or Mastodon server)
I'm like 90% done though, and hope to wrap it up and ship v0.12.13 later this weekend!

@thenexusofprivacy it's additional work to implement an allow-list for federation, although not much more than instituting a deny-list. What's easier is accepting content from everywhere, but I can definitely see how indiscriminately accepting content from just anywhere is a recipe for potential abuse.
I'd like NodeBB to support both, although it might not be available during alpha phase.
