Nextcloud Social connects users with the Fediverse for work or social interaction.
About social
Social makes a Nextcloud server function as a Fediverse server, giving each user an address like @[email protected] that can post, follow, mention and reply across Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube, GoToSocial and Akkoma from the same Nextcloud installation.
It supports per-post visibility, image, audio, video and document attachments, polls, content warnings, custom emoji and location labels processed without a map service. The source describes it as a partial implementation of ActivityPub and the Mastodon client API and advises checking what is not yet implemented before using it as someone's only Fediverse client.
