I use GoToSocial, which is a mastodon-like fediverse software that’s perfect for single-user instances. You can set your profile as the landing page at the root URL, and it also supports customisable CSS for your page too.

You can check out a sample profile (GtS’ official account) here.

I’ve been keeping track of this tracker and since July 1, peak comments/post per minute have definitely gone down. Although as the site mentions, you really shouldn’t draw any firm conclusions from that. Just interesting to see.
