What is this?

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

This project aims to be a fully featured social network, with a focus on privacy, security, and performance. It implements the Mastodon API for support with clients that already support Mastodon or Pleroma.

Note

This project is not affiliated with Mastodon or Pleroma, and is not a fork of either project. It is a new project built from the ground up.

Features

  • Federation (partial)
  • Hyper fast (thousands of HTTP requests per second)
  • S3 or local media storage
  • Deduplication of uploaded files
  • Federation limits
  • Configurable defaults
  • Full regex-based filters for posts, users and media
  • Custom emoji support
  • Automatic image conversion to WebP or other formats
  • Scripting-compatible CLI with JSON and CSV outputs
  • Moderation tools
  • Mastodon API support (partial)

Screenshots

Here are some screenshots of Lysand's built-in web client. This client is built with Nuxt, and serves to allow users to log in or register. It is kept to only the actions that cannot be done with a Mastodon client, to simplify development. In the future, there will be a full-featured client.

Benchmarks

Note

These benchmarks are not representative of real-world performance, and are only meant to be used as a rough guide. Load, and therefore performance, will vary depending on the server's hardware and software configuration, as well as user activity.

Timeline Benchmarks

You may run the following command to benchmark the /api/v1/timelines/home endpoint:

TOKEN=token_here bun benchmark:timeline <request_count>

The request_count variable is optional and defaults to 100. TOKEN is your personal user token, used to login to the API.

On a quad-core laptop:

$ bun run benchmarks/timelines.ts 100
✓ All requests succeeded
✓ 100 requests fulfilled in 0.12611s
$ bun run benchmarks/timelines.ts 1000
✓ All requests succeeded
✓ 1000 requests fulfilled in 0.90925s
$ bun run benchmarks/timelines.ts 10000
✓ All requests succeeded
✓ 10000 requests fulfilled in 12.44852s

Lysand is extremely fast and can handle thousands of HTTP requests per second on a good server.

How do I run it?

Please see the installation guide for more information on how to install Lysand.
