🌫️🗜️✨ `Gizmo`: `FediProxy`

Publish your activity-pub feeds on a domain you control!

Watering Hole

Is there a service that will host a single Mastodon account for me (not an entire instance) but let me alias it to my own domain? I don't want to run an instance, but I would like to control my address/handle. - @anildash

I dream of a blocklist tool that works across multiple ActivityPub implementations. Like... if I could share between my Mastodon, Pixelfed, and BookWyrm instances :blobcatmaths: #MastoAdmin - @[email protected]

Lots of useful functionality in a low-feature, lightweight store-and-forward service that's less like a full-blown social site and more like an old-school SMTP+IMAP server for email - @[email protected]

I'm curious -- has anyone written a twitter-algorithm-style app for mastodon? Just something that would show you a more curated subset of your existing timeline. ("here are 20 popular things from today", "3 people you follow boosted this toot", "here is something that got 50 boosts that one of your followers boosted", etc.)

(please do not tell me about hashtags :)) - @[email protected]
