So, you have a working Mastodon instance... now what?

Administration web interface

A user that is designated as admin = TRUE in the database is able to access a suite of administration tools:

View, edit, silence, or suspend users - https://yourmastodon.instance/admin/accounts
View PubSubHubbub subscriptions - https://yourmastodon.instance/admin/pubsubhubbub
View domain blocks - https://yourmastodon.instance/admin/domain_blocks
Sidekiq dashboard - https://yourmastodon.instance/sidekiq
PGHero dashboard for PostgreSQL - https://yourmastodon.instance/pghero
Edit site settings - https://yourmastodon.instance/admin/settings

Site settings

Your site settings are stored in the settings database table, and editable through the admin interface at https://yourmastodon.instance/admin/settings.

You are able to set the following settings:

Contact username
