Introducing #Hollo. Hollo is an #ActivityPub-enabled single-user microblogging software. Although it's for a single user, it also supports creating and running multiple accounts for different topics.

It's headless, meaning you can use existing #Mastodon client apps instead, with its Mastodon-compatible APIs. It has most feature parity with Mastodon. Two big differences with Mastodon is that you can use #Markdown in the content of your posts and you can quote another post.

Oh, and Hollo is built using #Bun and #Fedify.

Sooo.... you'd use it instead of a Mastodon server, because... it's less resource intensive?

Did I understand correctly?

I don't feel like I understood correctly... 😂 🤔 🤦‍♂️

@hollo congrats on the launch! I'll be trying this out once blocks/mutes, lists, pinned posts, and polls are added!👍😁

@hollo do you recommend Bun instead of Deno?

@hollo fyi, slight change in API: Mastodon is going to support either string or array of strings for the redirect_uris parameter in app registration: https://github.com/dahlia/hollo/blob/main/src/api/v1/apps.ts#L12

@hollo congrats! The more AP servers, the better. I think low resources single user servers is a space where fedi can grow and can greatly improve the diversity, especially for big users.
