We've been quite busy lately but we haven't forgotten about #Fedilab users. We've already fixed several issues and will be releasing an update this month. Thank you for your patience and support.
The #Holos app will soon be available along with its source code. We're opening a first testing phase for Android users on our relay server https://holos.social - we'll send invitation links to create an account. iOS will follow later. Spots are limited to around 20 testers. If you want to test an app that runs its own ActivityPub server, feel free to contact and follow @HolosSocial
The #Holos relay server code is now public. It may not be perfect but we believe in opening it early to get feedback and improve together. Self-hosters can run their own relay, documentation included.
Mobile app code will follow in the coming weeks. Follow @HolosSocial for updates, we used the Fedilab account to give this some visibility. Thanks for your support.
@juliemoynat Tu peux empêcher globalement que tes messages soient cités dans la configuration de ton profil. Si je comprends bien, tu choisis "personne sauf moi" et les gens peuvent quand même te citer ? Je viens de faire l'essai pour ce message. @harmonia_amanda
Every day we get closer to releasing an app that runs your own decentralized social network on your phone. Your data stays yours, and feature requests won't depend on any third-party software or API. We created a dedicated account @HolosSocial for project updates, feel free to follow. The first federated post has been sent from the app.
@emergencygg Fair point! "Relay" in the Fediverse usually means redistributing public posts.
Ours is more like: identity provider, proxy and message queue. It relays traffic between the Fediverse and your phone, but you're right... might be confusing terminology.
@julian User blocks always work, a standard ActivityPub.
The relay server handles infrastructure moderation (spam, abuse, illegal content). Your personal instance in the app is where you have freedom: choose who to follow, who to block, no admin deciding for you.
Moderation at the relay level, freedom at the personal level.
@silverpill Different architecture. Activity Connect bridges actors that can't communicate directly (blocked instances, different networks).
The Holos relay provides stable identity for mobile servers. Your phone runs the actual ActivityPub server, and the relay simply proxies requests to your current tunnel URL. It doesn't bridge or store content - just maintains a permanent address while your phone's IP and tunnel change.
@GroupNebula563 We'll work on PeerTube compatibility. Starting with standard Video ActivityPub objects, then adding PeerTube-specific features as we progress. @peertube
@silverpill No, the app and server run in the same process and communicate via bridge. C2S isn't needed here. The server uses S2S for federation with other instances.
We're building something for the Fediverse. #Holos
ActivityPub running on your phone. Your own server, your data stored locally. A relay handles your stable identity when you're offline.
One account, all formats. Short text, long articles, photos, videos. The UI adapts to your mood. Switch between text mode, photo grid, video feed, article editor based on what you feel like sharing.
Same network, same followers.
Early stages, but the foundation is solid. We wanted to share the progress.
This feature was built to support the instance https://mathstodon.xyz You can follow this instance with the app and this feature will help you to display formulas.
