I find this idea very innovative and exciting. It is being developed by Fedilab, and separates data from relay (a bit like AtProto does) to allow everyone to keep their data, even on a phone
Holos - a mobile ActivityPub server that runs on your phone. A relay server maintains your stable identity when you’re offline. Switch between text, photos, videos, and articles from a single account. Currently in private development, sharing progress with the community.
The account following the development has just 3 posts (with some light technical details) at the time of writing, but the stuff should be published on Codeberg soon.
This is pretty awesome. It also, in my opinion, defines true decentralization.
Thanks for sharing this!
Kinda. If im reading this right, you are still beholden to the specific relay server. Of course im going to withhold judgement before the code is actually out.
So, please correct me if I’m wrong here, but say I want to start a mastodon instance, I could run it using only my phone? All data would be stored locally on my phone, but publicly accessible to anyone on the fediverse whenever they want?
Could I link a domain to it?
Who is behind the project?
It’s those behind the fedilab app -> https://toot.fedilab.app/@apps/115572783993063223
Thanks!
Now this is podracing!
Seriously, I loved the idea!
