@hollo Recommendation: If you write about your open source software, please include just one sentence, what it does in general.

Such messages are always an opportunity because they end up in non-users streams. Use it by just telling them, what your software does.

In this case something like "Hollo - A federated single-user microblogging software" would be more than enough.

@hollo @hongminhee Does Hollo support Fedify's split-domain configuration yet? unstable.fedify.dev/manual/fed

I'm waiting for that before I set up a Hollo instance for @encyclia so it can have its bare domain in its handle. 🙂
