What is Epicyon?

Epicyon is a fediverse server suitable for self-hosting a small number of accounts on low power systems.

Key features:

  • Open standards: HTML, CSS, ActivityPub S2S and C2S, RSS, CalDAV.
  • Supports common web browsers and shell browsers.
  • Will not drain your mobile or laptop battery.
  • Customisable themes. It doesn't have to look bland.
  • Does not require much RAM, either on server or client.
  • Suitable for installation on single board computers.
  • No timeline algorithms.
  • No javascript.
  • No database. Data stored as ordinary files.
  • No fashionable web frameworks. "Boring by design".
  • No blockchain or AI garbage.
  • Written in Python, with few dependencies.
  • AGPL license, which big tech hates.

Epicyon is for people who are tired of enshittified Big Tech garbage and just want to DIY their online social experience without much fuss or expense. Think water cooler discussions rather than doomscrolling and shouting into the void, in which you're mainly just reading and responding to the posts of people that you're following.
