Synapsis is open-source, federated social infrastructure. Own your identity. Create your community. Connect globally.
Everything you need for a modern social experience, without the corporate baggage.
Built with ActivityPub compatibility. Connect with the broader Fediverse — Mastodon, Pleroma, and beyond.
Your identity is cryptographically yours. Move between nodes without losing your connections or history.
Share images, galleries, and more. Full support for modern media.
Powerful admin dashboard for user management, content moderation, and community governance.
Smart algorithms surface engaging content without the manipulation. Transparent and fair.
User-friendly install wizard gets your node running in minutes. Visit /install to check progress. No PhD in DevOps required.
A new model for social networking built on open standards.
Unlike centralized platforms where your identity is owned by a corporation, Synapsis uses DIDs (Decentralized Identifiers). Every user gets a unique cryptographic identity that exists independently of any server.
did:key:z6MkhaXgBZD...
Your handle (like @alice) is simply a human-readable alias
for your DID. Move nodes, keep your identity.
Synapsis is not one server — it's a network of nodes. Each community can run their own Synapsis instance with their own rules, while still connecting to the global network.
Every post, like, and follow is cryptographically signed with your private key. This ensures authenticity and prevents tampering — nobody can forge a post in your name.
