RE: https://mastodon.social/@HolosSocial/116460942782444645 If some #iOS users are interested in joining a #Fediverse server that runs on your device, you can join the #HolosSocial project through #AltStore or drop an email at hello@fedilab.app to join TestFlight beta testers.

On #Holos, the user decides where media lives. Cached on the relay (10 MB cap), or pushed to a personal S3, WebDAV. Signed URLs for private buckets, direct URLs for public ones. Video compression configurable on the device before upload. Backups and media can share storage or be separated. The architecture makes it possible: there is no instance admin to ask, and the relay holds no media beyond a temporary cache. The choice belongs to the user. #HolosSocial

#HolosSocial is a project that lets users run their own #ActivityPub server on a device (Android/iOS). Would a desktop version interest you? For purists, dynamic DNS could replace the relay entirely, which is simply not realistic on mobile. Main account: @HolosSocial@mastodon.social Your opinion?

#HolosSocial is now accepted on the iOS store. Verification emails aren't being delivered at the moment. I will approve subscriptions manually and fix this shortly.

In #Holos, timeline media has dedicated views, enabled with a single tap: one for images, one for vertical videos (TikTok style, swipe) and one for horizontal videos. What is still missing is a filter on media size. No one using these views wants to see a GIF (MP4) or a low-resolution meme. Reducing that noise will make the experience much better. This will be fixed. #HolosSocial

Today I subscribed to an #iOS dev account. The first app available is #HolosSocial (TestFlight - @HolosSocial@mastodon.social). Two other apps will follow: #CastLab (https://codeberg.org/tom79/CastLab) and #FediPlan (https://codeberg.org/tom79/FediplanApp)

Tomorrow, #Holos is moving to a more powerful server. One issue identified was inactive users accumulating a large number of pending activities on the relay. The relay now detects inactive users (no connection for more than 14 days) and reduces home timeline retention to 4 hours, while all notifications (follow, mentions, DMs, etc.) are kept at their normal retention period. #HolosSocial

Something to clarify about custom domains. This feature lets you own your identity with your domain name. No one else can create an account with it, the relay verifies domain ownership through DNS before activation. If you want friends or family to have an identity on your domain, you can. As the domain owner, you control who gets one. For root domain identities, this is done through WebFinger configuration, without hosting a relay and even if people are on different relays. #HolosSocial

Yes, #HolosSocial is far from perfect, but everything is being done to improve the UX. I still believe in this project because it offers a lot of perspectives, and bad behavior can be fixed. Thank you to all the people trusting this project. Even if it fails, I am pretty sure it will help push #ActivityPub further.

#HolosDiscover now allows filtering results by multiple languages (for instance French + English). You can create timelines with up to 20 hashtags. You might be surprised to discover small accounts sharing hobbies you enjoy. The #HolosSocial app already uses it. If you are an app developer, don't hesitate to use the API: https://discover.holos.social/api-docs
