On #Mastodon, a #PeerTube post becomes a mere link. On Holos, the app reads the AP message and shows the video. Why? Most software ignores AP signals that do not match its own model, where Holos does not.
That is why switching from a blogging view to an image view with a simple tap is possible in the app.
When I started building with React Native and Expo, it became much harder to write the recipe to be available on #FDroid.
#CastLab was my first one, with the help of maintainers. The last build of #HolosSocial failed (it happens with Expo upgrades). An F-Droid maintainer warned me first on my repo. Before I could act, they made the changes to the recipe so new builds were possible, and silently closed the issue.
Just a thank you to the #FDroid team, they help users and devs alike!
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.

The Holos relay hits 1.0.0
The Holos relay server reaches 1.0.0. A look at what it really costs to run: 800+ accounts, a single server, 18 MB of cached media, and a working database of about 8 GB.tom79.dev
There are three ways to install #HolosSocial on #iOS:
- #TestFlight: join the beta here: testflight.apple.com/join/cpjN…
- #AltStore PAL (EU only): open AltStore PAL and find Holos listed inside the app.
- Classic AltStore: use the AltStore link on the website. Do not open it in a browser, as it will only show the raw file. AltStore must open it.

Currently, translating opens the translator app. The idea is to keep everything inside #Fedilab: the translated text comes straight back into the post, so you never leave the app. You do not even notice it used another app in the background. It is already done in #HolosSocial, and I will add it to Fedilab.
Offline Translator | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository
On-device translation of text, images and pdf/odt files, with TTSf-droid.org
That's a great app with very good translations.
Another well running and integrated is Translate You:
#Fedilab and #HolosSocial allow using the offline translator for #Android, and the app is available on #FDroid.
I would like to encourage every F-Droid user to use it and enable it in Fedilab.

I will improve both apps to capture the translation and go back, because their app allows it.

For #iOS, I opened #TestFlight for release 1.11.0.
The next release (1.12.0) should be available soon, but if you want to test, here is the link:

PS: there is a known issue where avatars and headers are not uploaded, which will be fixed after 1.12.0.
I will also publish #CastLab on iOS through AltStore PAL.
#HolosSocial lets you run your own #ActivityPub server on your device. The goal is to let everyone using AP with a phone or a computer reach full independence, through custom domains and by hosting your media on your own cloud.
This is not a hack of AP (as I have read), everything stays within the spec. The project simply lets you be fully independent. You can reach full independence step by step. And #E2EE DMs already work through AP.

RE: mastodon.social/@HolosSocial/1…
The #HolosSocial relay is now ready for an official prod release. Users might have noticed better responsiveness from it.
The app is already available on #AltStore for iOS, and will be on the #PALStore. It is available with the apk, ipa and all the desktop files on the website and #Codeberg. It is also on #FDroid, but releases are stuck on 1.8.1, which I will fix.
Publishing on the big stores like Google Play or the App Store is not my goal.
What do you think?
