+## Important points to read before installing
+
+- **Mastodon** require a dedicated **root domain**, eg. `domaine.tld` or `mastodon.domain.tld`, with no other apps installed on that domain. You can't change the domain once installed.
+- The user choosen during the installation is automatically created in Mastodon with admin rights
+- It seems important to close registrations for your Mastodon, so that it remains a private body. We invite you to block remote malicious instances from the administration interface. You can also add text on your home page.
+
+## Using *screen* in case of disconnect
+
+Mastodon can take a long time to install, depending on server performance.
+To avoid the process being interrupted by a disconnection, you can use `screen`.
+
+```bash
+sudo apt install screen
+screen
+sudo yunohost app install https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/mastodon_ynh.git
+```
+
+Recover after disconnect:
+
+```bash
+screen -d
+screen -r
+```
