The #Holos account @tom79@holos.social has been migrated to @tom79@holos.fedilab.app using the new Custom Domains feature.
Use your own domain for your ActivityPub identity. No instance to host, pure ActivityPub from your phone. Your identity is no longer tied to the relay. Switch anytime.
Add your domain, configure a CNAME record, verify and activate. Followers are notified via a Move activity.
More: holos.social/custom-domains
Fully available in the next RC release.

in reply to Fedilab Apps • • •two question.
Is migration possible (from device to another), and when do you think the app will appear on @IzzyOnDroid or @fdroidorg ?
Will it be compatible (later) with mastodon migration procedure ?
Thanks

Migration is fully supported! Holos implements the ActivityPub Move activity, so you can migrate from another instance to Holos or from Holos to any other ActivityPub instance. Your followers will be automatically notified and redirected, just like with standard Mastodon migration.
Regarding F-Droid, the submission is currently in progress.

in reply to Fedilab Apps • • •it would also help if you'd publish releases with their corresponding APKs attached. Only that way, Reproducible Builds can be supported (which we and @fdroidorg have, see e.g. izzyondroid.org/about/security… for a short intro).
I don't know about the size of your APK, so I cannot tell if we could take it in at IzzyOnDroid – but if it's below 30 MB, be welcome to apply (once the APKs are available, as we always ship the APKs built & signed by their devs) @lexinova

in reply to IzzyOnDroid ✅ • • •Unfortunately the APK is around 170MB due to the embedded Node.js libraries needed to run the local server. We reduced it by dropping one of the three Node.js builds (from three to two), but it's still well above the 30MB limit. That's why we never submitted to IzzyOnDroid and went directly to F-Droid instead.

in reply to Fedilab Apps • • •What if I want to access an account from multiple devices (phone, tablet and laptop)

Android is the primary platform for now, but an iOS version is planned. Distribution will likely go through AltStore, as mainstream app stores may flag apps with embedded servers.
Regarding multi-device access, Holos follows a "one device, one instance" philosophy. Your phone is your server, with your keys and data living locally. This is what gives you true ownership. Multi-device sync isn't currently supported but is being considered for the future.

in reply to Fedilab Apps • • •I am really curious if this will be embraced by many users.
Fedilab Apps
in reply to 「 Jürgen 」⁂ • • •It's currently designed as one device per account since your phone is the server. But this can be improved by allowing the relay to dispatch activities to multiple devices per account instead of removing them once consumed. Right now the relay immediately deletes an activity once it's been synced (via WebSocket or during app launch), but reworking this to support multiple devices is definitely possible.

We will introduce that option, a lot of people are asking for multi-device support. That would need some work on our latest feature (E2EE DMs).
