## What it is
Takahē is a Python-based ActivityPub/Fediverse server for microblogging, currently in beta toward a 1.0 release. It supports multiple domains and identities per instance and is compatible with the Mastodon Client API.

## Use cases
- host a fediverse server
- self-host a mastodon alternative
- run multiple domains on one activitypub instance
- give users multiple identities on one server
- use mastodon client apps with a custom server
- join the fediverse with lightweight hosting

## When to choose
- you want to self-host a Fediverse server with multi-domain support
- you need Mastodon API compatibility for existing client apps
- you want simple deployment and maintenance of a social instance

## When to avoid
- you need a fully polished, feature-complete 1.0 server
- you require every Mastodon feature today
- you prefer non-Python stacks

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: active
- function: http-server, api-framework, web-framework, self-hosted
- domain: social-media, self-hosted, web-development, backend
- platform: python, self-hosted
- tags: activitypub, fediverse, mastodon-compatible, microblogging, decentralized-social, docker, web-server
