The only way for community server admins to extend or customize Mastodon is to fork it. I wish Mastodon had a WordPress-like plugin architecture of hook actions and filters.

Until then, Lappverk is a new tool by @natkrNatalie that might make maintaining Mastodon forks easier. It’s inspired by how Linux distros maintain their complex patch histories. I hope to try if Lappverk reduces my anxiety of rebase and merge conflict hell next week.
