Easily my favorite Mastodon client. It looks very clean, and the features like catch-up or switching between instance previews on a whim make browsing the Fediverse more enjoyable. I ♥ Phanpy!

Selfhosting
Selfhosting is where you're hosting your own websites, apps, software, tools, and much more on your own server instead of having to rely on 3rd-party cloud providers such as Hetzner. Taking this approach to hosting gives you more control over your data and how your server or servers are managed.
When you are running multiple things on one or two servers, within your home, it's called a "Homelab" and you're "Homelabbing" at that point.
Running your own server and homelab within your home is great for privacy-conscious individuals such as myself, tech enthusiasts, small businesses, and those seeking more control of their digital life.
The following lists provided here are applications and software I've gotten comfortable with and enjoyed using over the past 3 and a half years since I started homelabbing, it's based on my experience and what fits my criteria. Some well known softwares won't be listed here, as my experience may of not been at best with them.
My criteria is that software is built in the open, respects user privacy and security, should not require a license to operate, and don't contain profanity and other minor things.
I'm also willing to test new software to selfhost, feel free to comment or message me to try out other alternatives.
There are other places to check out as well for those interesting selfhosting, such as Awesome Selfhosted, selfh.st, and other places you can find on the internet.

If you ever need help with selfhosting, you can check out the following communities:

/c/selfhosted (Lemmy / Fediverse)
There's also a wiki you can look into as well.
If you believe an alternative software should be added to this list, please contact me or direct message via my AlternativeTo account. I'm also available on Signal.

Comments and Reviews
Minimalistic in the sense that it's not cluttered, opinionated in the sense that it has a strong design philosophy. Optimized for mobile and runs well on desktops too.
Single-column view like the regular Mastodon web view, but easier on the eyes and more comfortable to use. Buttons are hidden in the timeline to encourage you to think about what you're doing before you boost, like, or reply.
Nice features like "Catch-up," which shows you a sortable list of posts within the last hour (adjustable up to 12 hours) and doesn't scroll infinitely, so you can feel like you're done. The "boost carousel" pulls boosts out of the main timeline to cut down on clutter and emphasize people's actual posts. This one works better on mobile.
More solid than Elk, especially when using GoToSocial or another server that accepts Markdown.
Easily my favorite Mastodon client. It looks very clean, and the features like catch-up or switching between instance previews on a whim make browsing the Fediverse more enjoyable. I ♥ Phanpy!
