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.



RE: mastodon.social/@HolosSocial/1…

The next step with #HolosSocial will be to let you use your root domain as your identity while still using a subdomain for the relay.
Yes, #Holos is kind of like #nostr but with #ActivityPub. The main difference: your data lives on your device, not on a server, and relays remain completely dumb.


#Holos 1.1.0 has been released.

Account recovery is now available: optionally back up your account data with a passphrase and restore it after a reinstall (strongly recommended if you have no cloud backup configured).

The relay stores your backup but cannot read it, it is encrypted on your device before upload (zero-knowledge).

Recovery is managed in Settings > Data & Backup.

#HolosSocial


I need help with the server hosting all my open-source projects: #Fedilab, #HolosSocial, #HolosDiscover, and more.
The current server costs €350/year but is no longer suited for the load. I often run out of disk space. I need to migrate to a more powerful one with expandable storage. Renewal is due in a few days.
I have set a goal of €500 on Ko-fi, cost unknown.

Sharing this post helps keep my open-source projects alive.

#Holos 1.0.0 is available! With this release, Holos moves from release candidate to production. Your phone becomes your server. With custom domain support, your identity can truly be yours, independent from any platform. Your DMs are end-to-end encrypted. Your data stays yours. This is the core principle behind Holos, and the goal is to make all of this accessible to everyone.

Thank you for your support through #Liberapay.

The page does not yet reflect all current projects. #CastLab and #HolosSocial will be added.


RE: mastodon.social/@HolosSocial/1…

We accepted these constraints for #Fedilab: donation links removed, Mastodon account registration disabled, and #PeerTube search results filtered. The rules are enforced by a bot: you receive a screenshot of what was flagged, and you either fix it or your app is rejected. We will not accept the same for #HolosSocial. Asking a #Fediverse app to moderate its content is like asking a browser to moderate the web.


#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:

RE: mastodon.social/@HolosSocial/1…

Some news from #HolosSocial development. The latest release moves media processing to the device. Videos are transcoded locally before upload. Users can store media on their own S3 or WebDAV server, and the resulting URLs are used directly in #ActivityPub activities. The relay server handles neither transcoding nor media storage. Each user brings their own resources to the #Fediverse.


In the next release of #Holos, Bloom filters will be enabled by default (can be disabled). This allows the relay to deliver only activities that matter to you, without ever knowing who you follow. In practice, this reduces data transfer around 97%, since only about 3% of activities are typically relevant during a sync.
The public timeline is replaced by a discover timeline tailored to your interests.

In the next #Holos release: post expiration. When composing, you can set a lifetime for your post, from 1 hour to 90 days.
The post will be deleted at minimum after the chosen time, since the app needs to be open and connected to send the Delete activity to other instances.
Still a handy tool if you don't want your posts to last forever.
