Seeing the new wave of @pixelfed users, just a reminder that procursus.social also runs a pixelfed instance! https://justsome.photos/

For all new users on procursus.social looking to familiarize themselves with Mastodon, welcome!

If you’re looking for a Mac or iOS Mastodon app, we personally recommend the open source @IceCubesApp or the beautiful @ivory.

If you find someone on a different Mastodon server you’d like to follow, just search their full username! Then you’ll be able to just drop a follow.

What’s the difference between the Home, Local, and Federated timelines? We’re glad you asked! The Home timeline is a chronological feed of toots from all the people you follow. The Local timeline shows all the toots from other procursus.social users. Finally, the Federated timeline shows all the toots from all the procursus.social users, and everyone that those users follow (even from other instances, like mastodon.social)!

If you ever have any specific questions about anything at all, please shoot us a DM (or "private mention").

As always, procusus.social has pulled the latest security updates from glitch-soc, which include the important security patches Mastodon referenced in the below toot!

As of earlier today, RootHide and its development team are now officially a part of Procursus.

As a result of RootHide now being a part of Procursus, here's an explanation of what is happening and what this means for both end users and developers.

First of all, RootHide is going to be positioned such that it is an experiment, rather than a primary stable bootstrap for the time being.

Secondly, RootHide is going to become more standardized in the near future. We'll be sharing more about what this entails soon, as the specifics of this have not been finalized yet.

Lastly, there are two big changes that are happening with regards to the Bootstrap app:
- Bootstrap will soon support traditional rootless bootstrapping (alongside RootHide)
- For developers, everything about the Bootstrap app that is not currently open sourced will be fully open sourced soon.

Everything listed here is not going to happen immediately - rather, this will all happen over the next few days, weeks, and potentially months. We apologize for the inconvenience that some of these changes may cause to some people (especially to developers), but these changes are all for the long-term benefit of the entire jailbreaking community.
