Overview

What is Misskey?

Misskey is an open-source decentralized social network platform built on the ActivityPub protocol. Your instance can thus communicate with the entire fediverse — with Mastodon at the forefront — while remaining entirely under your control. The feed remains chronological, without advertising algorithms or attention capture.

Misskey stands out for its rich functionality and customization: custom emoji reactions, MFM (advanced note formatting), integrated file Drive, filtered timelines (antennas), pages, widgets, themes, and brand colors. It is one of the most expressive and configurable fediverse software solutions.

Technically, Misskey relies on Node.js, PostgreSQL, and Redis, with a queue for federation. DINAO handles the installation, supervision of these components, and updates, so you can focus on your community.

Host Misskey at DINAO

No managed container for Misskey: this application is installed on a VPS hosted in France (1 vCPU / 2 Go / 10 Go minimum).

Application available on a VPS

This application requires privileged access to the host machine, which is incompatible with managed shared hosting. It is installed on a VPS (virtual private server) that you administer: DINAO delivers it with Docker and the management panel of your choice, and you install and maintain Misskey yourself. The VPS is not managed by DINAO unless you add the managed-services option when ordering.

Technical reason: bind-mount d'un chemin hôte (volumes nommés uniquement en managé).

Frequently asked questions

You might be wondering…

Is my instance isolated or connected to others?

You choose. Thanks to ActivityPub, your instance can communicate with Mastodon and the entire fediverse, or remain closed and reserved for your internal community.

Can I customize the appearance?

Yes, extensively. Themes, brand colors, custom emojis, widgets, and pages: Misskey is one of the most customizable fediverse software solutions.

Where are data and media hosted?

On DINAO's French infrastructure, in one of the available data centers. Notes, accounts, and files do not leave the territory.

Is there advertising or a hidden algorithm?

No. Misskey is free software: no advertising, no opaque algorithm, and no data resale. The feed remains chronological and under your control.

Who handles moderation?

DINAO ensures technical operation and provides moderation tools. Content moderation policy remains under your control as the instance administrator.
