   I thinking about one thing that #fediverse self-hosting landscape lacks. Well it is not only about Fediverse per se.
   I dream to have something like a personal "trailer", or technically speaking, a server, on the internet, where I can add various capabilities if need them. For example:
   📜 microblogging like Mastodon.
   📖 Long-reads blogging like Medium
   🖼️ Photos and albums
   📷 Video upload
   at least one of these:
   📬 deltachat relay
   📪 Briar "mailbox".
   💬 Simplex relay

   Some more explanations follow.

     @koteisaev Sounds like the use case @yunohost covers, no?

     (Kitten is for a far more specific use case but, if you wanted to, you could build a front end for something like what you describe with it.)

     Thank you very much @aral (and our best regards, by the way !)

     @koteisaev :
     Elena's (@elena, coucou !) use case seems to match what you describe.

     She talks about it in this recording (with English subtitles): https://videos.globenet.org/w/wTYGCjA4UuziSR4AAKPk5P?start=28m53s

     Happy selfhosting!

     @koteisaev @yunohost Yeah, I hear you: my plan for the self-hosted social network is to have these sort of plugins (or “features” as I call them) for a core system so it’s very lightweight. But it won’t be ActivityPub (which isn’t lightweight and involved duplication of content) but peer-to-peer. But all the stuff that Yunohost helps you self host exists today whereas what I’m working on doesn’t. (Kitten is just the generic peer-to-peer web server/framework for creating peer-to-peer web apps.)

     @aral @yunohost
     Thanks you both for replies.
     I just may be got confused, because each of these fediverse apps designed not as a "plugins" for some foundation like Kitten, such e. g. long-reads/blog authoring for it, or photo gallery feature for Kitten, which would share identity. So I want be kote@example.tld in all of these "plugins" and across Fediverse. These isolated apps at best would live at blog.example.tld, photos.example.tld, news.example.tld and im.example.tld domains set.
