holossocial

<p>Beta-17 of <a href="/tags/holossocial/" rel="tag">#HolosSocial</a> brings improved speed and stability, especially for the database. We&#x27;ve identified and fixed the issue causing crashes and slowdowns. S3/WebDAV backups are functional, you can even use both simultaneously. An automatic cleanup tool is available, customizable to your needs. Just search &quot;backup&quot; or &quot;cleanup&quot; in settings to check these options.</p>

<p>With <a href="/tags/holossocial/" rel="tag">#HolosSocial</a>, we introduced the same feature that is on <a href="/tags/fedilab/" rel="tag">#Fedilab</a> to discover videos from the Fediverse thanks to <a href="/tags/sepiasearch/" rel="tag">#SepiaSearch</a> (<a href="https://sepiasearch.org" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>sepiasearch.org</a>).</p><p><a href="/tags/peertube/" rel="tag">#PeerTube</a> devs offered this option, which is really helpful for discovering new content on their platform.</p><p>We might introduce peer-to-peer streaming soon when watching PeerTube videos, with an option to disable this behavior.</p><p>Their API is used to display the content, then actions work through ActivityPub.</p>

<p>If you have no connectivity, yes <a href="/tags/holos/" rel="tag">#Holos</a> will work. If you do actions like boost, like, or even write a message, the app will automatically queue them and process your actions when the connection is back. That&#x27;s how we will handle the automatic deletion of your messages once they reach the TTL you set. You can always manage this in your settings.</p><p><a href="/tags/holossocial/" rel="tag">#HolosSocial</a></p>

<p>We were working on improving <a href="/tags/holos/" rel="tag">#Holos</a> moderation features. The new rc-3 should improve your experience. You can now import your CSV block lists for accounts and instances.<br>The app also supports syncing with block lists with automatic updates.<br>When a domain is blocked, the app retroactively deletes all related content and then ignores all activities coming from it.</p><p><a href="/tags/holossocial/" rel="tag">#HolosSocial</a></p>

<p>Holos RC-1 has been published. You can now send E2EE DMs over ActivityPub to other <a href="/tags/holos/" rel="tag">#Holos</a> users.<br>Lots of changes and improvements to discover here: <a href="https://codeberg.org/tom79/Holos-App/releases/tag/rc-1" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="codeberg.org/tom79/Holos-App/releases/tag/rc-1"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">codeberg.org/tom79/Holos-App/r</span><span class="invisible">eleases/tag/rc-1</span></a></p><p>Download: <a href="https://framadrive.org/s/X6AwN2wCGorrKPF" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="framadrive.org/s/X6AwN2wCGorrKPF"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">framadrive.org/s/X6AwN2wCGorrK</span><span class="invisible">PF</span></a></p><p>-- <br>Edit - new apk that fixes tunnel connection delays</p><p><a href="/tags/holossocial/" rel="tag">#HolosSocial</a></p>

<p>In the next <a href="/tags/holos/" rel="tag">#Holos</a> release: post expiration. When composing, you can set a lifetime for your post, from 1 hour to 90 days.<br>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.<br>Still a handy tool if you don&#x27;t want your posts to last forever.</p><p><a href="/tags/holossocial/" rel="tag">#HolosSocial</a></p>

<p>In the next release of <a href="/tags/holos/" rel="tag">#Holos</a>, 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.<br>The public timeline is replaced by a discover timeline tailored to your interests.</p><p><a href="/tags/holossocial/" rel="tag">#HolosSocial</a></p>

<p>We are now in a stabilization phase for <a href="/tags/fedilab/" rel="tag">#Fedilab</a>. We are waiting for the green light from beta testers before releasing 3.36.0.<br>We will work on <a href="/tags/holossocial/" rel="tag">#HolosSocial</a> (<span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@HolosSocial" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>HolosSocial</span></a></span>) for a few days to fix issues and bring E2EE for DMs.</p>

<p><a href="/tags/holos/" rel="tag">#Holos</a> rc-2 is ready to be published on <a href="/tags/fdroid/" rel="tag">#FDroid</a>. It should now be available within days. We will continue to provide our package through our custom F-Droid repo and our direct download link.</p><p><a href="/tags/holossocial/" rel="tag">#HolosSocial</a></p>

<p>Next step with <a href="/tags/holos/" rel="tag">#Holos</a> and custom domains: being able to use your root domain as your identity. A subdomain would point to the relay via CNAME, but your identity would use your root domain.<br>I will write a small how-to to make the setup straightforward for everyone.</p><p><a href="/tags/holossocial/" rel="tag">#HolosSocial</a></p>

<p>A fix has been deployed to the relay for people receiving push notifications with mentions unrelated to their account.<br>That was noise from public messages landing in the shared Inbox. No app update needed.</p><p><a href="/tags/holossocial/" rel="tag">#HolosSocial</a></p>

<p>End-to-end encrypted DMs through ActivityPub will be available in the next release <a href="/tags/holossocial/" rel="tag">#HolosSocial</a></p>

<p>We put a lot of work into both <a href="/tags/fedilab/" rel="tag">#Fedilab</a> and <a href="/tags/holossocial/" rel="tag">#HolosSocial</a>. We will never neglect one for the other, both deserve attention. Holos allowed us to push boundaries like E2EE DMs over ActivityPub and portable identity, but Fedilab is the app we&#x27;ve been working on since 2017 and will keep integrating new features. This is your app, not ours. Alongside all this, we are volunteers, so if you can help us financially, that would really help. Thank you.</p>

<p>We made so many improvements with <a href="/tags/holossocial/" rel="tag">#HolosSocial</a>, an ActivityPub server running on your phone. Big thanks to our beta testers who help us identify issues and suggest enhancements.</p><p>For tech folks: imagine pointing your domain with a CNAME to a relay and having your own ActivityPub identity with keys and data on your phone.

<p>Our next goal for <a href="/tags/holos/" rel="tag">#Holos</a>: end-to-end encrypted DMs Your private keys stay on your phone, relay servers can&#x27;t read your messages. Works across different Holos relays using ActivityPub for transport. Falls back to standard DMs with other Fediverse apps, so servers can read these and we&#x27;ll show a clear warning. E2E encryption over the Fediverse, finally.</p><p>Our dedicated account: <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@HolosSocial" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>HolosSocial</span></a></span> <a href="/tags/holossocial/" rel="tag">#HolosSocial</a></p>

<p><a href="/tags/holos/" rel="tag">#Holos</a> is designed around one device per account since each phone runs its own ActivityPub server. Currently, activities are removed from the relay once synced, so multi-device isn&#x27;t possible yet. However, we could introduce trusted devices linked to an account, where activities are only removed once synced with all of them. This would also need some work on our E2EE DMs feature.</p><p><a href="/tags/holossocial/" rel="tag">#HolosSocial</a></p>

<p><a href="/tags/holos/" rel="tag">#Holos</a> 1.0.0-rc-2 has been published. In this version, you can connect your domain to create your unique account identity. The first time, it will send a Move activity so you don&#x27;t lose your followers/following. Then you will have an identity that no longer depends on the relays, and you&#x27;ll be free to move between relays whenever you want.</p><p>More about custom domains: <a href="https://holos.social/custom-domains" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>holos.social/custom-domains</a></p><p>Download: <a href="https://holos.social/signup" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>holos.social/signup</a></p><p>Release notes: <a href="https://codeberg.org/tom79/Holos-App/releases/tag/1.0.0-rc-2" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="codeberg.org/tom79/Holos-App/releases/tag/1.0.0-rc-2"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">codeberg.org/tom79/Holos-App/r</span><span class="invisible">eleases/tag/1.0.0-rc-2</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/holossocial/" rel="tag">#HolosSocial</a></p>

No other server needed, just your phone.<br><a href="https://holos.social/custom-domains" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>holos.social/custom-domains</a></p><p><a href="/tags/holossocial/" rel="tag">#HolosSocial</a></p>

<p>For custom domains, <a href="/tags/holos/" rel="tag">#Holos</a> currently works with CNAME, which redirects your entire domain to the relay. That&#x27;s fine for a subdomain, but if you want your identity on your root domain, you probably already use it for something else.<br>We will add support for that. The relay will handle everything on a subdomain you dedicate to Holos, and automatically generate a webfinger file to host on your root domain. Your identity will be @[email protected] while the setup runs on a subdomain.</p><p><a href="/tags/holossocial/" rel="tag">#HolosSocial</a></p>
