I identified the origin of the iOS crash. Working on a fix.

In the #Fediverse, most software is built around a specific platform model. One for microblogging, one for video, one for photos... and new ones will keep coming.
With #Holos, your phone runs your own #ActivityPub server. You control your data and can use your own domain as your identity.
Built on the protocol, not a platform model, Holos is not limited to a single use case. One account that adapts to your needs.
That's where we're heading, and we hope for your support.
#Holos 1.5.6 is available.
This release focuses on UI polish. On #iOS, the pull to refresh spinner is now visible in timelines, and compose menus no longer render behind the modal. On #Android, the emoji picker stays above the keyboard.
It also fixes posts not showing up on the web while online.

#HolosSocial isn't bringing something new to the #Fediverse, especially not to #ActivityPub. It builds on what exists, without mimicking any platform.
Every social network has been given its fediverse clone. Asking people to hold a separate account on each is taking the problem backwards.
If the fediverse keeps mirroring the GAFAM, it loses. The point was never to rebuild their world, but to offer something else: one identity across every content.
HolosSocial is simply a try. But we can do it.
#Holos 1.5.3 is available.
New: in-app notification banner when interactions arrive while using the app. Tapping a DM notification now scrolls to and highlights the message.
Leading mentions are no longer shown in DM conversations.
It also brings a fix for a UI freeze during inbox cleanup.
#Holos 1.6.0 is available!
This release introduces desktop support with Electron on macOS and Linux. Syncs now use a sequenced bloom filter with WebSocket filtering that will avoid timeouts when starting the app.
The media viewer should be smoother, with instant thumbnails and a transition from the thumbnail position.

#HolosSocial 1.8.0 is available.
This version adds a QR code and copy handle on profiles, a Solarized theme, followed hashtags in the home timeline and text translation in the compose screen.
It also brings several fixes such as uploaded custom emojis not displayed and empty lists. Bugs for desktop releases are also fixed.

The fundraiser for a new computer is still ongoing.
This machine is what keeps #HolosSocial, #Fedilab, #Castlab and #Fediplan moving forward on Android, iOS, and soon #Holos on macOS, Windows and Linux, from a single codebase. The current setup is reaching its limits.

Every contribution helps, and sharing helps too :). Thank you.
I added a documentation page on holos.social to explain how pairing devices for an account works:

I also updated the FAQ, which was outdated and missing some important questions:
