Mastodon Glitch Edition

https://github.com/glitch-soc/mastodon

Based on nixpkgs upstream.

Modifications for the new yarn berry lockfiles and some other improvements stolen and adjusted (with permissions) from catgirl.cloud (see also https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/277697).

I've also made some further modifications myself to try and simplify the package and better understand it.

Updating

The package can be updated to the latest glitch-soc commit with update.sh.

• the deps.patch for the yarn lockfile will probably not work anymore
• in that case, delete it before running update.sh
• then try to build the package
• when it fails again with a yarn error, run nix log to get the full yarn output
• take the diff from there and adjust deps.patch accordingly
• also, the yarn hash in version_data.nix has to be adjusted manually
• build the package and paste the hash from the error message into yarnHash
