Happy New Year 🎊
We wish you health and success in your projects for the year ahead.
#Fedilab keeps our full attention for 2026. We know we've been heavily focused on #Holos development lately, but both are independent projects and each has its place. Fedilab remains our flagship client. Holos explores data sovereignty with on-device servers.
Thank you for your continued support.
We're temporarily opening registrations on #Holos. Registration via relay web interface is no longer available - only the mobile app allows relay selection and signup.
To test (Android):
1 - Download latest app: https://framadrive.org/s/ZWEWpKQr6Aqp6oF
2 - Enter domain: holos.social
3 - Create your account
Your server starts empty. Search for accounts via name@domain to follow.
Thanks for feedback!
Yes, in the latest #Holos release you can compose while being offline. The app will automatically resolve mentions via WebFinger when you reconnect.
Running an ActivityPub server on your phone might sound complicated, but it doesn't have to be. You can just let it run with automatic maintenance, or dive into all the settings if that's your thing. Monitor storage, schedule backups, see what activities are taking up space, whatever level of control you want. Some might never open these screens, others check them daily. And that's totally fine. We made it automatic for everyone, but added all the tools for power users. That's your server #Holos
#Holos beta-11 is available:
- DMs: custom emojis, unread badge, and notifications now open the right chat
- Post editing works properly with full history
- Hashtags and profile posts display correctly
- Faster, more responsive UI with various bug fixes

RE: https://mastodon.social/@HolosSocial/115804190141569336
#Holos now supports custom domains! Use your own domain (@you@yourdomain.com) with any relay. Just point a CNAME to the relay and you're done. Your ActivityPub server runs on your phone, your private keys never leave it, and now your identity is truly yours. Switch relays anytime by updating your DNS. No migration needed, no lost followers. Full sovereignty in a mobile app. We're bringing true identity portability to everyone. Learn more by following @HolosSocial
We are processing a refactoring to increase independence: removing the internal API used for interactions between users on the same relay. We initially built this for faster communication between users on the same relay, but it creates dependency. We chose to prioritize portability over optimization. All interactions will now go through standard ActivityPub. Switching relays becomes seamless and #Holos stays true to its data sovereignty principles.
