Short answer: Hell yes.

After completing the full migration and running in production for weeks, I can confidently say GoToSocial is ready for serious use.

Perfect For: ✅

• Self-hosters with limited resources (VPS with 1-2GB RAM? No problem!)
• Single-user or small family instances (works great up to ~50 users based on community reports)
• Homelab enthusiasts who value efficiency and simplicity
• Privacy-conscious users who want full control over their data
• Developers who appreciate clean, well-documented APIs

Think Twice If: ⚠️

• Large communities (100+ users – not extensively tested yet)
• Power users who rely heavily on advanced Mastodon features
• Mobile-first users who need perfect app compatibility
• Non-technical admins who prefer GUI-based administration
