What is this?

Lysand Server is a federated social network server based on the Lysand protocol. It is currently in beta phase, with basic federation and almost complete Mastodon API support.

Goals

• Privacy: Lysand is designed to be as private as possible. Unnecessary data is not stored, and data that is stored is done so securely.
• Configurability: High configurability is a key feature of Lysand. Almost every aspect of the server can be configured to suit your needs. If you feel like something is missing, please open an issue.
• Security: Lysand is designed with security in mind. It is built with modern security practices and technologies, and is constantly updated to ensure the highest level of security.
• Performance: Efficiency and speed are a key focus of Lysand. The design is non-monolithic, and is built to be as fast as possible.
• Mastodon API compatibility: Lysand is designed to be compatible with the Mastodon API, with Glitch-SOC extensions.

Anti-Goals

• Monolithic design: Modularity and scaling is important to this project. This means that it is not a single, monolithic application, but rather a collection of smaller, more focused applications. (API layer, queue, database, frontend, etc.)
• Complexity: Both in code and in function, Lysand should be as simple as possible. This does not mean adding no features or functionality, but rather that the features and functionality that are added should be well-written and easy to understand.
• Bloat: Lysand should not be bloated with unnecessary features, packages, dependencies or code. It should be as lightweight as possible, while still being feature-rich.
