General Discussion

#Holos is a new social network working with #ActivityPub. This is not an app where you can connect your Mastodon, Pixelfed or PeerTube account.There is no web version and no API because the ActivityPub server runs on the device itself. That's the whole challenge behind this project.If there is more engagement, I plan to build a desktop version and even sync between different devices.

For those who have questions about #Holos. I've seen a lot written recently, and since the project is young, it's normal that things stay ambiguous or get misunderstood. This is a thread, with one post per remark most often read, and a direct answer.

RE: mastodon.social/@HolosSocial/1With #Holos, you can have your identity on your own domain. No server? A simple CNAME record is enough. Already have a server? Point a subdomain to handle #ActivityPub traffic and serve a static JSON file on your root domain.This is a step toward the same sovereignty #Nostr offers with cryptographic identities, but staying in the #ActivityPub ecosystem you already know.

RE: mastodon.social/@HolosSocial/1The next step with #HolosSocial will be to let you use your root domain as your identity while still using a subdomain for the relay.Yes, #Holos is kind of like #nostr but with #ActivityPub. The main difference: your data lives on your device, not on a server, and relays remain completely dumb.

This is how #Holos currently handles #E2EE DMs over #ActivityPub. Holos is a project we develop alongside #Fedilab.
