Can you suggest accounts to follow that post frequently? Our goal is to optimize Home timeline loading during sync. Thanks for your suggestions

You're absolutely right, running AP servers on mobile isn't new tech. What makes Holos different is exactly what you identified: working around the hostile network landscape with the relay+tunnel architecture for stable identity despite carrier NAT, changing IPs, and restrictive networks. The goal is making it practical for everyday users, not just technically possible.

The IRC bouncer analogy is spot on. With Holos your phone holds the keys and stays the source of truth, the relay handles the "always-on" parts: stable identity, message queuing, federation routing. And you can point your own domain via CNAME for true portability.

Not a stupid question :) in short, no Phanpy can't work with Holos. Phanpy is a web client that connects to Mastodon servers via the Mastodon API, while Holos runs its own ActivityPub server directly on your phone. They're fundamentally different architectures and incompatible.

@f_g Thank you for reporting this! The issue has been fixed and Weblate should now be able to push to upstream.

To our beta testers, we have recently refactored the code so that the database uses its own worker to optimize the UI. We still have some side effects that we continue to fix as we go. Thank you for your bug reports.

#Holos beta-13 should fix this regression. Thank you for your patience.

We'll run the flagship relay at https://holos.social, but anyone can run their own relay server. The code is open source. And if you have your own domain, you can use @you@yourdomain.com and migrate between any relay just by updating your DNS. No lock-in. You pick a relay you trust, or run your own, or use your domain for total independence.

WebSockets only run when the app is open. When you close it, everything stops. For important stuff like mentions or DMs, the relay uses UnifiedPush to wake your phone. The relay queues incoming activities and deletes them once your phone gets them. So even with thousands of followers, your phone only processes activities when you're actually using the app. In practice, battery impact is similar to any social media app, not a server running 24/7.
