You can connect a phone, tablet and desktop to the same account. To add a new device, you scan a QR code from one you already use. This transfers your key and all your account data, encrypted end to end, so the relay never sees it in clear.<br/>It also adds bio translation on profiles, actor lists for boost and like notifications, DM filtering, and several fixes.<br/><br/>Full release notes: <a href="https://codeberg.org/tom79/Holos-App/releases/tag/1.7.0">https://codeberg.org/tom79/Holos-App/releases/tag/1.7.0</a> 2026-05-30T18:08:54Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswxd5j5l9ja6289lmx6tg06f9dc5fywfmjawwsakpxx5t6yal3jlszyr0yt8u7jxfsc7nx5fyhjm3a8dvv563skwq5q929s6re7qe480c7gsxy5r3 Multi-device support is progressing well for #HolosSocial. The tricky part: each device runs its own #ActivityPub server, with its own local data, signing its own activities. Keeping several servers in sync both ways, without duplicating everything, without losing actions on the way, and without two of them handling the same activity at the same time, was the main problem to solve. It also had to stay reliable when a device goes offline for hours or days.<br/>(1/3) 2026-05-26T18:14:17Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszqcr26yp2hrypkp4uk3srz20w5wlhtumas3vqyunu8y4nnjak9fczyr0yt8u7jxfsc7nx5fyhjm3a8dvv563skwq5q929s6re7qe480c7gtql28d In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs02mutk2hagw4htd7llfrv0n9c5zhp8es8xhwdxkeamk0tync82ecpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43qzerp29'>nevent1q…rp29</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>To clarify: the real shift Holos explores is identity portability. With your own domain, your account is no longer tied to a single instance or platform. You can move, switch, evolve, the identity stays yours.<br/>Switching with one tap between video, photo or blogging is just cosmetic. But the fediverse allows it natively. That&#39;s what&#39;s missing today. You don&#39;t need a lookalike platform to tell you what kind of content you&#39;re allowed to see or share. 2026-05-23T22:18:10Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs02mutk2hagw4htd7llfrv0n9c5zhp8es8xhwdxkeamk0tync82eczyr0yt8u7jxfsc7nx5fyhjm3a8dvv563skwq5q929s6re7qe480c7gjrv0uh #HolosSocial isn&#39;t bringing something new to the #Fediverse, especially not to #ActivityPub. It builds on what exists, without mimicking any platform.<br/>Every social network has been given its fediverse clone. Asking people to hold a separate account on each is taking the problem backwards.<br/>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.<br/>HolosSocial is simply a try. But we can do it. 2026-05-23T21:46:34Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsxx402yvvdtkgkyucwun73slc6j30y2cwu4l4jcg0ag0aspuvmmyczyr0yt8u7jxfsc7nx5fyhjm3a8dvv563skwq5q929s6re7qe480c7g9pj6u5 #Holos 1.6.0 is available!<br/><br/>This release introduces desktop support with Electron on macOS and Linux.

However, these restrictions don&#39;t exist in ActivityPub itself. We&#39;ll be removing these artificial limits soon. Other servers (Pleroma, Akkoma, Misskey) already support more media, more poll options, and polls with attachments.
