Configuring Pleroma

In the config/ directory, you will find the following relevant files:

config.exs: default base configuration
dev.exs: default additional configuration for MIX_ENV=dev
prod.exs: default additional configuration for MIX_ENV=prod

Do not modify files in the list above. Instead, overload the settings by editing the following files:

dev.secret.exs: custom additional configuration for MIX_ENV=dev
prod.secret.exs: custom additional configuration for MIX_ENV=prod

Block functionality

config :pleroma, :activitypub,
  accept_blocks: true,
  unfollow_blocked: true,
  outgoing_blocks: true

config :pleroma, :user, deny_follow_blocked: true

accept_blocks: whether to accept incoming block activities from other instances
unfollow_blocked: whether blocks result in people getting unfollowed
outgoing_blocks: whether to federate blocks to other instances
deny_follow_blocked: whether to disallow following an account that has blocked the user in question

Message Rewrite Filters (MRFs)

Modify incoming and outgoing posts.

config :pleroma, :instance,
  rewrite_policy: Pleroma.Web.ActivityPub.MRF.NoOpPolicy

rewrite_policy specifies which MRF policies to apply. It can either be a single policy or a list of policies. Currently, MRFs availible by default are:

Pleroma.Web.ActivityPub.MRF.NoOpPolicy
Pleroma.Web.ActivityPub.MRF.DropPolicy
Pleroma.Web.ActivityPub.MRF.SimplePolicy
Pleroma.Web.ActivityPub.MRF.RejectNonPublic

Some policies, such as SimplePolicy and RejectNonPublic, can be additionally configured in their respective sections.

NoOpPolicy

Does not modify posts (this is the default rewrite_policy)

DropPolicy

Drops all posts. It generally does not make sense to use this in production.

SimplePolicy

Restricts the visibility of posts from certain instances.

config :pleroma, :mrf_simple,
  media_removal: [],
  media_nsfw: [],
  federated_timeline_removal: [],
  reject: []

media_removal: posts from these instances will have attachments removed
media_nsfw: posts from these instances will have attachments marked as nsfw
federated_timeline_removal: posts from these instances will be marked as unlisted
reject: posts from these instances will be dropped

RejectNonPublic

Drops posts with non-public visibility settings.

config :pleroma :mrf_rejectnonpublic
  allow_followersonly: false,
  allow_direct: false,

allow_followersonly: whether to allow follower-only posts through the filter
allow_direct: whether to allow direct messages through the filter
