soc.octade.net is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
I moved the #HolosSocial projects (app, relay and discover, to stay consistent) to my own git at https://git.holos.social/tom79
As a reminder about this choice: I used an AI to write part of the #Holos docs, and also to review and help me fix some code I had written. At first I didn't feel concerned by the debate (no vibe coding on my side), but it went further than that. Out of respect for everyone using my work, transparency and action were needed.
Recently I tagged the #Holos relay 1.0.0. Some of you were interested in the numbers behind it: how much memory it needs, how much disk space, and so on. I wrote a short blog post about that.
#Holos 1.11.0 is available.
You can now view and change your email and password from a new account screen in settings. The app also compacts its database automatically in the background to reclaim space and keep things fast, and a notification lets you know when it runs. A new Compact Database button in the cleanup settings lets you run it on demand.
It also brings several fixes.
Release notes: https://codeberg.org/tom79/Holos-App/releases/tag/1.11.0
In the #Fediverse, most software is built around a specific platform model. One for microblogging, one for video, one for photos... and new ones will keep coming.
With #Holos, your phone runs your own #ActivityPub server. You control your data and can use your own domain as your identity.
Built on the protocol, not a platform model, Holos is not limited to a single use case. One account that adapts to your needs.
That's where we're heading, and we hope for your support.

Is there facility to run the phone app via TOR network, to hide user IP from the relay?
Running an ActivityPub server on your phone might sound complicated, but it doesn't have to be. You can just let it run with automatic maintenance, or dive into all the settings if that's your thing. Monitor storage, schedule backups, see what activities are taking up space, whatever level of control you want. Some might never open these screens, others check them daily. And that's totally fine. We made it automatic for everyone, but added all the tools for power users. That's your server #Holos
