@HolosSocial hi there, this is really neat so far but I've made a mess of my account credentials for @chillicampari@holos.social when I was poking around and accidentally locked myself out. I didn't see a way to trigger a password reset from the website so I was wondering if you could please point me in the right direction? Thanks :)

Honestly, this is one of the coolest projects I have ever seen. 🔥

I always dreamt that I could server music independently instead of relying on other platforms(when I restart my music journey).
This #Faircamp , #Funkwhale, #Holos just crazy projects are being found here🔥Glad to be on the #fediverse❤️😍.

Here's a dream stack:
Holos like app for #selfhosting from mobile and relays for a funkwhale instance. Faicamp generated from a funkwhale instance😁

#Holos looks like a really interesting concept. It’s an ActivityPub server that runs from your mobile device and uses relays to communicate with the wider Fediverse.

We're temporarily opening registrations on . Registration via relay web interface is no longer available - only the mobile app allows relay selection and signup.

To test (Android):

1 - Download latest app: framadrive.org/s/ZWEWpKQr6Aqp6

2 - Enter domain: holos.social

3 - Create your account

Your server starts empty. Search for accounts via name@domain to follow.

Thanks for feedback!

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.

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

This looks very useful.

Is there facility to run the phone app via TOR network, to hide user IP from the relay?

RE: mastodon.social/@HolosSocial/1

#Holos now supports custom domains! Use your own domain (@you@yourdomain.com) with any relay. Just point a CNAME to the relay and you're done. Your ActivityPub server runs on your phone, your private keys never leave it, and now your identity is truly yours. Switch relays anytime by updating your DNS. No migration needed, no lost followers. Full sovereignty in a mobile app. We're bringing true identity portability to everyone. Learn more by following @HolosSocial

Running an ActivityPub server on your phone might sound complicated, but it doesn't have to be. You can just let it run with automatic maintenance, or dive into all the settings if that's your thing. Monitor storage, schedule backups, see what activities are taking up space, whatever level of control you want. Some might never open these screens, others check them daily. And that's totally fine. We made it automatic for everyone, but added all the tools for power users. That's your server

Data & Backup: Everything about your server's storage in one place. See what's using space, create backups when you want, set up automatic ones if you prefer. You can even sync to the cloud. Keep your data safe locally or let it sync automatically to your cloud storage. Your data is important, so we give you options.Cleanup Settings: Choose what to keep and what to delete automatically. Maybe you want your home timeline forever but only need public posts for 3 days. Or just leave it on default and forget about it. The cleanup runs in the background and you decide the rules.Server Stats: All the numbers about your server. How much storage you're using, how many posts and followers you have, what type of activities are happening. Weekly graphs, pie charts, the works. Perfect for understanding what to clean up or just for the curious.

The Programmer’s Fulcrum: 02 January, 2026

Welcome to this week’s The Programmer’s Fulcrum. FYI, this is our first one of 100% TPF curation.

It’s your weekly review of the essential news in the Open Media Network and Fediverse development communities with a focus on devastating big tech via Techno Anarchism. We aim to provide actionable content you can use to destroy Techno Feudalism each week.

IMHO, the best way to do that is to use […]

RE: mastodon.social/@HolosSocial/1

We're working on a version that lets you have fully autonomous identity with #Holos. You'll be able to point your domain's DNS to a relay to have your own identity @you@your-domain. The ActivityPub server runs on your phone, you own your keys and now your identity. The relay becomes just infrastructure that you can change anytime. More in the quoted message.

Custom domain support for is in development and coming along nicely! Use @user@your-domain.com instead of @user@holos.social, just point your DNS to a relay (changeable anytime). Actor URIs and post URIs stay stable forever, so switching relays requires no migration. Your RSA keys + domain = portable identity. Optional feature for users wanting relay independence.

Custom domain setup screen in Holos: Shows current identity (https://holos.social/users/tom79) and the option to add a custom domain. The 4-step process is clearly explained: add domain, configure DNS, verify ownership, and activate to migrate identity.DNS configuration instructions: After adding a domain (holos.fedilab.app), the app provides exact DNS records to configure:  a TXT record for verification and a CNAME pointing to holos.social. Domain shows as "Pending" until DNS verification succeeds.

Holos runs a complete ActivityPub server directly on your smartphone. You truly own your identity, posts, and followers.
