  • Mastodon

    Your self-hosted, globally interconnected microblogging community

    Ultimately, any past or current delays can be explained by staffing shortages. Before our budget skyrocketed in November, some periods during this year we didn't have enough money to have people working on redesigning joinmastodon.org at the same time as continuing to add new features to the apps, so the apps were on hold.

  • mastodon-ios-apps

    An ongoing, (hopefully) complete, collaborative list of all Mastodon apps on iOS.

    In the meantime, you could try a third party app such as Fedilab or Tusky.

  • forgefed

    ForgeFed - Federation Protocol for Forge Services

    There is an active project working on it: https://forgefed.org/ , and Codeberg is likely to support it when it's ready.

  • gitlab

    the federated gitlab ticket is 4 years old now: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/6468

  • joinmastodon

    Now you have some more work to do, and probably some more money in the project, will you be delegating the development of the joinmastodon.org to a team to take advantage of UX input?

  • mastodon

    A glitchy but lovable microblogging server (by glitch-soc)

    Can we expect to see any of the https://glitch-soc.github.io/docs/ features coming to Mastodon mainline soon? Post formatting? Highlighting of misleading links? or local only posting?

    Soatok's Proposal for End-to-End Encryption in Mastodon

    This is a very hard problem to solve. I know it's being worked on by some smart people though, see https://soatok.blog/2022/11/22/towards-end-to-end-encryption-for-direct-messages-in-the-fediverse/

  • documentation

    Mastodon documentation (by mastodon)

    https://github.com/mastodon/documentation documentations are here. I guess you can upload your documentation in the manner in the style as seen there. Although the documentation that you want is more related to code.
