About
Mastodon is web server software which provides a user interface to the OStatus and ActivityPub fediverses. It is written in Ruby and JavaScript.
ActivityPub support was introduced in version 1.6, with the intention of making it Mastodon's primary communication protocol.
It also makes use of WebSub but I haven't found an explanation of how this fits in. -- Woozle

- SupportBot: "A framework for making social media bots for multiple networks" written in Python
- Mastodon Bridge: cross-correlates your Twitter and Mastodon account, and shows commonality (only for users who have used the same tool)
- https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon-bridge - source code (Ruby); good example of how to allow an app to access Mastodon, which effectively includes authentication
- mastodon-backup: "Archive your statuses, favorites and media using the Mastodon API (i.e. login required)"
Notes
Wish list:
- a way to set up auto-replies filtered by instance [1]
- where X is a set of users chosen by user Y, collect stats about users who follow them or are followed by them (e.g. list users who follow a lot of them or are followed by a lot of them, possibly for autoblocking) and make those stats available to user Y.
Other stuff:
