With #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.

#Holos will support custom root domains tomorrow. You'll be able to use @[email protected] as your identity while #ActivityPub traffic is routed through a subdomain.
With a single user, a simple static json file will be enough on your root domain.

PS: if you already use a subdomain, it will work without extra work.

I'm not sure on which side the error is, but I'm not able to follow from my Pixelfed account my Holos account.

In the Pixelfed app I don't see a follow button, in the browser I can click many times, number goes up, but after a reload it's 0.

@dansup and Tom (@HolosSocial ) I'm not sure where the error is. Following from Mastodon was possible...

Accounts I used are @[email protected] (Pixelfed) and @joergi (holos)

Interesting concept, a fediverse relay for mobile devices.

The 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.

Next step with #Holos and custom domains: being able to use your root domain as your identity. A subdomain would point to the relay via CNAME, but your identity would use your root domain.
I will write a small how-to to make the setup straightforward for everyone.

#Holos 1.1.0 has been released.

Account recovery is now available: optionally back up your account data with a passphrase and restore it after a reinstall (strongly recommended if you have no cloud backup configured).

The relay stores your backup but cannot read it, it is encrypted on your device before upload (zero-knowledge).

Recovery is managed in Settings > Data & Backup.

Release notes: https://codeberg.org/tom79/Holos-App/releases/tag/1.1.0

#HolosSocial

If you don't have a backup configured on #Holos, losing your device or reinstalling the app means losing your followers and control over your posts.

I'm working on an automatic encrypted recovery system. Your private key, followers, following, and posts will be backed up to the relay, encrypted with a passphrase only you know. The server never sees any of it. On a new device or a fresh install, just enter your passphrase and everything is restored.
