How come running a #Mastodon instance on a #Pleroma backend not a thing yet

#Pleroma is the superior backend, and while #Soapbox is the best frontend in my opinion, some, (like @Marbleturtle) prefer how #Mastodon looks to #Soapbox
Yes but it’s not the default
Nor can you toggle it to be the default, IIRC
Double checking adminfe now on 2.3 release
Ah, sorry for the delay, it's in AdminFE as of 2.3.0, so you should be able to have mastofe be your default on a Pleroma today if you wanted, but I didn't test how to configure it yet.
I would ask @alex for help around getting this working, since he's been into fe swaps since before it was in the adminfe.
MastoFE can’t be the primary FE because it lives on a hardcoded route (/web) and doesn’t have authentication features (eg you can’t log into it).
