Boom! Coming to you live(ish) from #littleFedi. Installation wasn’t too difficult but might cause issues for the novice user. My first go-around resulted in laggy performance for reasons that elude me. I’ve relocated everything to my Synology NAS, which is *way* underspeced vs. the machine I first had it running on, but it’s performing much better. The web interface is clean and quite customizable. And accessing it via an app is pretty seamless.

The web interface is super clean and lightweight; I could see that being a big boon to folks accessing it from old phones or low-spec hardware. #littleFedi
One feature that’s kind of unique is that the admin can create a ‘bubble’ timeline that contains only posts from a curated list of select instances. So for example, I’ve created a bubble containing known Canadian instances.

It’s quite neat, although the caveat is that not all Canadians are coming in from Canadian servers.
Another neat feature is the ability to set a ‘self destruct’ on a given post. This works outside of your global post expiry setting.
You are also able to schedule posts within the standard post edit window.

If you want to take it for a test run, I can send you an invite to create a test account. That way you can try out the 'look and feel'.
It also renders with zero JavaScript.
Another neat feature is it has a WYSIWYG post editor that allows you to create text formatting without having to know markdown. And, once you’ve composed your message you can preview it prior to sending. *And* the editor can go fullscreen!
Bold, italics, strikethrough
- Bullet lists

Header 2
Header 3
Quotes
Code blocks
It’s very slick.
If anyone is interested in playing around with it, let me know and I’ll send you an invite.
