Three free utilities turn the guides into practical next steps. None requires an account, payment or newsletter signup.
Find a Mastodon app
Mastodon app finder: choose your platform, budget and must-have features. Results use dated official evidence and show limitations. Unknown capabilities never satisfy a requirement. The catalogue remains readable without JavaScript.
Estimate PeerTube operating costs
PeerTube hosting cost calculator: enter your library, uploads, viewing demand and supplier prices. See twelve months of growth and a component breakdown. Prefilled values are artificial examples, not quotes. Download an estimate with its assumptions.
Prepare a Pixelfed import
Instagram to Pixelfed checker: select a local export ZIP or post metadata JSON. Files stay in the browser. The result distinguishes recognised metadata, media references and unknown server requirements. It does not import posts or guarantee compatibility. JSON alone is a partial check.
Wider software choices
For reading, publishing, discovery and moderation beyond these utilities, use the Mastodon tools guide. Each provider has its own account requirements and data policy. Frequently asked questions explain what Fediview does and which tasks belong to your instance operator.
