Yours to run
Deploy to any server you control — a €5/mo box, your laptop, anywhere. No Cloudflare required.
Own your corner of the social web
Set sail on the open web
Run your own federated social + video platform — plugged into the fediverse and the ATmosphere. Self-hosted, on a server you control.
This site is the platform
highseas.social is a live, running instance — explore it:
Why highseas
A whole decentralized platform you actually own.
Federated by default
Speaks ActivityPub and ATProto, so your instance talks to Mastodon, PeerTube and Bluesky out of the box.
One codebase, runs anywhere
The same app runs on Cloudflare or self-hosted. No lock-in, ever.
Curated, not noisy
Aggregate the decentralized-web videos and voices you actually care about.
Want a hand getting it live?
Paid consultation to stand up your instance — from a €5 box to a federated fleet.
Questions
How is this different from homeport.social?
homeport.social is fully managed — sign up and go. highseas.social is the self-hosted path: you run it on your own server, with optional paid consultation to get there.
Do I need Cloudflare?
No. The same codebase runs on Cloudflare or self-hosted on any Linux box. You choose where it lives.
Does it really federate?
Yes — ActivityPub and ATProto, so your instance joins the existing fediverse and the ATmosphere from day one.
