+ #### FreeBSD
+
+ `moderncsqlite` version currently recommended, though you might have success with the regular WASM SQLite version.
+
+ If running with regular WASM SQLite and having instability or memory issues, the following settings *may* help:
+
+ ```yaml
+ db-max-open-conns-multiplier: 0
+ db-sqlite-journal-mode: "TRUNCATE"
+ db-sqlite-synchronous: "FULL"
+ ```
+
+ #### 32-bit
+
+ `moderncsqlite` version is needed, as performance with regular WASM SQLite is not guaranteed when running on 32-bit.
+
+ Remote media processing will likely not work with reasonable performance, so you should set the following config variables to prevent download of remote media onto your instance:
+
+ ```yaml
+ media-remote-max-size: 0
+ media-emoji-remote-max-size: 0
+ ```

+
+### Supported Platforms
+
+While we try to support a reasonable number of architectures and operating systems, it's not always possible to support a given platform due to library constraints or performance issues.
+
+Platforms that we don't officially support *may* still work, but we can't test or guarantee performance or stability.
+
+This is the current status of support offered by GoToSocial for different platforms (if something is unlisted it means we haven't checked yet so we don't know):

+
+#### FreeBSD
+
+Mostly works, just a few issues with WASM SQLite; check release notes carefully when installing on FreeBSD. If running with Postgres you should have no issues.
+
+#### 32-bit
+
+GtS doesn't work well on 32-bit systems like i386, or Armv6/v7, mainly due to performance of media decoding.
+
+As such, we don't recommend running GtS on 32-bit, but you may have success if you turn off downloading of remote media.
+
+For more guidance, check release notes when trying to install on 32-bit.
+
+#### OpenBSD
+
+Marked as unsupported due to performance issues (high memory usage when idle, crashes while processing media).
+
+You may have some success if you turn off decoding of remote media.
+
+We hope to support OpenBSD better in future, but this is not guaranteed.

-## Binary releases
+A number of third-party packages are maintained by different distributions, and some people have created additional deployment tooling to make it easy to deploy GoToSocial yourself.
-We publish binary builds for Linux to [our GitHub project](https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases):
-
-* 32-bit Intel/AMD (i386/x86)
-* 64-bit Intel/AMD (amd64/x86_64)
-* 32-bit ARM (v6 and v7)
-* 64-bit ARM64
-
-For FreeBSD we publish:
-
-* 64-bit Intel/AMD (amd64/x86_64)
-
-## Containers
-
-We also publish container images [on the Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial).
-
-Containers are released for the same Linux platforms as our binary releases, with the exception of 32-bit Intel/AMD.
-
-## Snapshots
-
-We publish snapshot binary builds and Docker images of whatever is currently on main.
-
-We always recommend using a stable release instead, but if you want to live on the edge (at your own risk!) then see the [snapshots](https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial#snapshots) section on our GitHub repo for more information.
-
-## Third-party
-
-Some folks have created distribution packages for GoToSocial or additional tooling to aid in installing GoToSocial.
-
-### Distribution packages
-
-These packages are not maintained by GoToSocial, so please direct questions and issues to the repository maintainers (and donate to them!).
