"This week Evan Prodromou is back to take us deeper into the Fediverse. As many of us reconsider our relationship with Twitter, Mastodon has been by-and-large the target of migration. They helped to popularize the idea of a federated universe of community-owned, decentralized, social networks. "

Socialhome v0.13.0 released

Hello 👋 Yes, it's been a while! Eight months since the last release in fact. The project is still alive, but not as active as previously. Progress still happening once in a while, thus a new release!

Highlights

  • Start adding Matrix support 🎉 Very, very early days, and totally experimental. Currently, if enabled and hooked up with a compatible Matrix server, local user accounts are mirrored to the Matrix side and additionally their public posts get mirrored in profile rooms and hashtag rooms. More later as things develop!
  • Translations process! Socialhome can now be translated and is now fully translated to #French! Thanks to Alain St-Denis for the awesome work to both push through the translations process and also do the French translations <3 Other languages partially translated are German and Norwegian. Also thanks to Weblate for hosting the translations for us.
  • More changes and fixes to ensure ActivityPub and Diaspora identities don't get duplicated, for remote platforms that have both versions (like Socialhome instances!).
  • A bunch of bug fixes to the streams UI and to the federation library.

What is Socialhome?

Socialhome is best described as a #federated personal profile with social networking functionality. Users can create rich content using #Markdown. All content can be pinned to the user profile and all content will federate to contacts in the federated social web. Federation happens using the #ActivityPub and #Diaspora protocols, with #Matrix coming up!

Please check the official site for more information about features. Naturally, the official site is a #Socialhome profile itself.
