@stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe Just looking at the installation instructions it's clear #Mastodon was designed for #Linux.
I want to say I am surprised but unfortunately I am not.

@peteorrall@mastodon.bsd.cafe Installing it on FreeBSD isn't hard and, at least for now, it worked flawlessly: https://it-notes.dragas.net/2022/11/23/installing-mastodon-on-a-freebsd-jail/ But when you touch some other architectures/OSes (less widespread), the limits of the "I tested it on Linux and MacOS and it works" are evident. I'm not complaining - but it's quite common, nowadays.
