> Uses SQLite, and no external dependencies except Python 3.10+ I don't know if it's the way it's been written, but it reads to me that only python is needed, no libraries. I'm assuming this isn't true though: I can see a lot of libraries: https://github.com/tsileo/microblog.pub/blob/v2/pyproject.to...
I feel like Python 3.10 is large dependency -- almost no one would use it unless required.
I saw that mastodon.technology is shutting down soon. Would this microblog.pub be a good alternative to hosting my own mastodon? I don't have any other users, so it'd just be for me to maybe interact with people on other mastodon instances.
hosting a full-blown mastodon for a single user instance is extremely overkill. if you have access to a LAMP like your typical shared hosting provider, you could try Gnu Social or WordPress with the AP plugin.

Is there such a thing as a static ActivityPub timeline, something like Hugo, by compatible with Mastodon? Or is that nonsensical?

That's an extremely short sighted opinion. ActivityPub is an extremely versatile protocol that resembles a lot like speech. Some guy made a bunch of "smart" devices communicate with eachother through his own GNU social instance. Essentially making his house a "smart" home.
ActivityPub and GNU Social users! There are dozens of us, Michael, dozens!

It wouldn't take much to fix it, though, and it should be fixed. TPTB really should have focused on enabling your use case from the beginning.

I don't get what it does. Is ActivityPub used like some kind of RSS feed that people can follow?
I was just trying to "follow" from a mastodon instance and nothing seems to happen.. though I'm not exactly sure what should happen.
Do you see their posts in your feed?
Loading that in Mastodon's "Web" says it contains "4 posts", but consulting the "Posts and replies" tab will reveal the contents of 5 posts. Meanwhile, this number is about half of the expected number, based on the posts that are actually visible on the https://hexa.ninja/> landing page (i.e. as viewed in e.g. Firefox).

I am a ~single-user Mastodon instance admin. It is a big hassle to get set up, but then I never have to really think about it day-to-day. That said, there are also a lot of other good instances, and I am jealous of folks with a nice local timeline, so the general advice (for anyone else reading) would be to just move instances. I don't know if this has an ergonomic read-posts-from-other-instances setup. If you try it…
