## Status ## Features
- GNU Social users can follow Mastodon users - **Fully interoperable with GNU social and any OStatus platform**
- Mastodon users can follow GNU Social users Whatever implements Atom feeds, ActivityStreams, Salmon, PubSubHubbub and Webfinger is part of the network
- Retweets, favourites, mentions, replies work in both directions - **Real-time timeline updates**
- Public pages for profiles and single statuses See the updates of people you're following appear in real-time in the UI via WebSockets
- Sign up, login, forgotten passwords and changing password - **Federated thread resolving**
- Mentions and URLs converted to links in statuses If someone you follow replies to a user unknown to the server, the server fetches the full thread so you can view it without leaving the UI
- REST API, including home and mention timelines - **Media attachments like images and WebM**
- OAuth2 provider system for the API Upload and view images and WebM videos attached to the updates
- Upload header image for profile page - **OAuth2 and a straightforward REST API**
- Deleting statuses, deletion propagation Mastodon acts as an OAuth2 provider so 3rd party apps can use the API, which is RESTful and simple

- **Deployable via Docker**
