Shouldn't it be rather easy to package GNUsocial?
https://git.gnu.io/gnu/gnu-social/blob/master/INSTALL
All we might need are some php dependencies, and
the whole thing would be handled by a service anyway
if we assume standard layouts of tables etc.
It looks way easier than Mastodon which requires a container
load of npm packages.
Do we have someone among us who has GNUsocial admin/setup
experience who could make a statement on the installation
process?

I have been running a GNU Social instance for 1.5 years now. To install,
I just cloned the git repo, and set up nginx with the proper document
root.
However, GNU Social requires some folders (such as file/) to be
writable. It puts uploaded media files, among other things, in those
directories. How would Guix handle this? In Guix, the entire package is
in the store, and the store is read-only.

That’s not a problem. Nginx, for example, also needs writable
directories, so we override the location of these directories to /var or
/run. Something similar could be done with GNU Social.
