A #YunoHost package for #HolosSocial relay server is underway!
This will make it super easy for anyone to deploy their own #Holos relay on their server. We're going to contribute to the packaging effort and would love some help!

Maybe something to clarify with #HolosSocial. There is a full moderation system like on any Fediverse instance. Moderators can ban accounts. But relays are dumb by design: your identity and data belong to you, not to the relay. A ban is like a relay going down, you don't lose everything. You can move to another relay and keep all your followers, following, and data. With a custom domain the transition is seamless, otherwise it works through standard #ActivityPub migration.
Currently, the #Holos relay has different TTLs depending on activity type. For instance, follow requests stay longer (365 days) while public messages remain for 7 days. Each admin can change these values and they are displayed on the about page. At the app level, you can adjust this value between zero and the max set by the relay. We will also make the relay a little smarter to automatically reduce these values when accounts become inactive, as these are a lot of wasted resources.
We've optimized data loading so #Holos feels fast and seamless despite running its own server.
What's next:
- Interaction controls (#GoToSocial approach) to manage who can reply/boost/like your posts
- Keywords filtering on the public timeline to reduce noise and show what matters to you
- Community domain blocklist subscriptions with auto-sync
This is how #Holos currently handles #E2EE DMs over #ActivityPub. Holos is a project we develop alongside #Fedilab.

#HolosDiscover was built to solve a concrete problem: when you join #HolosSocial, your mobile server is empty. No posts, no accounts to find. The API provides search and trending content as a fallback for servers with no indexation yet.
We built a web UI at https://discover.holos.social using the same data, so anyone can see what's indexed without being a developer. Any Fediverse app or instance can also access it through the API.
#Holos 1.0.0-rc-3 has been published. This release now integrates #HolosDiscover for searches and to display trending. You can also block domains and sync remote blocking lists of domains. You can also import your list of blocked accounts. Account deletion is now possible through the app.
