Something I&#39;ve wanted to do in all the projects I was involved in in the past, but they thought Mastodon API support was enough. I believe that supporting the official API is important for standardization in fedi, and hope that more projects will decide to implement it! 2026-10-06T15:46:21Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqszhgfa74c7pvpna5hml39m7rjj2r2wjstg975j7y7zp0race4fcdczyz4lm53wchjvsa2qjga3u6280gqa8jlpl3t5t0cstuefjcxfmq8xs9t8m3e Catodon 26.10.0 &#34;Bongo Cat&#34; is here!

One of them was 79yo actor Suzan Sarandon. Inside the conference, the scumbag greek prime minister was smiling and shaking hands with the murderer.

I just enabled it on catodon.rocks so you can sign in without a Catodon account. 2026-08-22T08:23:09Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs2fy99j3a2ytf82myn27rut7zladdfgt39a7wv3aazjkjqatzacdczyz4lm53wchjvsa2qjga3u6280gqa8jlpl3t5t0cstuefjcxfmq8xshp535f I&#39;m back from vacation and have started fully working again towards the next Catodon stable release, which will probably be 26.9.0 - I decided to add a couple more major features, plus there are a few bugs reported on codefloe, so I don&#39;t think we can make it for August.<br/><br/>BUT! Catodon.rocks now has multi server accounts - meaning you can not only switch between local catodon accounts, but you can also connect your Mastodon, Misskey, Pixelfed, Friendica etc accounts and use them through Catodon&#39;s UI! There is also a masonry layout added for the new Media timeline, based on the feedback we got in [this post](<a href="https://catodon.rocks/notes/aph0tow3dgqa0c62">https://catodon.rocks/notes/aph0tow3dgqa0c62</a>). Both features include significant changes and there will definitely be some bugs, so please test them and report anything that seems off to you or you think could be improved. It will take a little time to iron everything out, but 26.9.0 will be a huge step for Catodon!<br/><br/>#catodon 2026-08-22T08:04:43Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsg0e8ssrajg7uj6sz85heuy8xdhwxfv42ma2lgj6ngh2ml8dk0xgszyz4lm53wchjvsa2qjga3u6280gqa8jlpl3t5t0cstuefjcxfmq8xs7srt7g I totally respect Codeberg&#39;s decision to disallow projects with mostly AI-generated code - we should all be doing things the way we want, especially in open source. I am very thankful to Codeberg for hosting us until now, and I want to avoid github like the plague, so I will most probably set up a forgejo instance for Catodon (and a couple of other projects) in the coming days. Hopefully, this should also give our repo better uptime. 2026-07-23T05:49:01Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsdeg5qa2whnfalauwhee2vne8cdy4j3678g5sjxla77ycuh7awayczyz4lm53wchjvsa2qjga3u6280gqa8jlpl3t5t0cstuefjcxfmq8xspr6cnp You might have noticed that I&#39;ve been working at an extreme rate lately - doing 10 hours or more each day. I want to get some stuff done before I have some vacations with my partner, then I&#39;ve been invited to talk about the Fediverse at a self-organized camping in Crete, then I have a sex positive gathering scheduled in Berlin. So I spent the last several days working at this rate in order to chill a little in the coming weeks - I&#39;ll try to still work on Catodon, but not sure how consistent I will be. So this period is an exception (for the summer).<br/><br/>In the meantime, following hashtags is also coming 😁 2026-07-18T15:52:19Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsdapeasmx2rgxvhwdgqz6sw7e2m2ctm2u62cclgdgfn9t8fmrh89qzyz4lm53wchjvsa2qjga3u6280gqa8jlpl3t5t0cstuefjcxfmq8xs9hjr99 You can now test both features =)<br/>To demonstrate custom timelines, I have added !catodon-talks as a separate timeline for all users - you can add Custom feeds, Lists, RSS feeds and forums as timelines, and set any timeline as Home!<br/><br/>:catodon:<br/>#catodon 2026-07-18T12:00:43Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsggpq78rapmzs46k0tf72tjsm48cf3qthquc4rcvcu32durt9feygzyz4lm53wchjvsa2qjga3u6280gqa8jlpl3t5t0cstuefjcxfmq8xsdvj5ka Thinking of fully federating Discourse<br/>#Discourse #ActivityPub #Fediverse #Forums 2026-07-03T07:25:25Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqspf0vhhyvqrq8d4rtm8cue3hwt2x4q35r3hrgd70tlwraxnxepz6czyz4lm53wchjvsa2qjga3u6280gqa8jlpl3t5t0cstuefjcxfmq8xsfmclh6 Due to other obligations irl, and because the new features were time-consuming, we didn&#39;t make it in time for 26.6.0, so the next Catodon version will be 26.7.0. The new features are: Federated blogs, native Mastodon API support and automatic alt text generation in collaboration with altbot. I have merged the latest development version on catodon.rocks, and all three features are now live. Please test them and give feedback and bug reports - when things are ready we&#39;ll release 26.7.0-rc.0, and if everything looks ok we&#39;ll hit stable.<br/>#catodon 2026-07-01T10:19:20Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqszpdrx8z5fs06ueseyz84mvqycm4d42m494vasmv7at3rhnjmzgdqzyz4lm53wchjvsa2qjga3u6280gqa8jlpl3t5t0cstuefjcxfmq8xs9g6y29 And for my next trick: Catodon forums.<br/>Yep.

There were waves of Twitter &#34;refugees&#34; coming for a while and, while most didn&#39;t stay, there was an enthusiasm that we&#39;re building something that will attract and welcome more and more people. Somewhere along the way, I feel that this vibe has died. And, on one hand, I know we&#39;re building something that has the foundations to be alive in the long run, and that&#39;s better than being a short term trend... on the other hand I sometimes miss that enthusiasm and optimism for fedi. Can we have some more of that, please?<br/><br/>#fediverse 2026-03-29T19:40:05Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs089fsx3erkz2t5t9metxkej6tuqn83x6f0af09tlg4wy5vaqkqvszyz4lm53wchjvsa2qjga3u6280gqa8jlpl3t5t0cstuefjcxfmq8xs83x5k8 I&#39;m gonna make Catodon so good, it will be hard to ignore - promise.<br/><br/>:catodon: #catodon #fediverse 2026-03-29T16:32:32Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsrpu29qmr4pf2glnmakz75t3ak6rdpu3dyaly2suaglty93tcayzczyz4lm53wchjvsa2qjga3u6280gqa8jlpl3t5t0cstuefjcxfmq8xsmxarxu In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsg3kfu2swyj779vumtcgn52r7006xl3mlwuc4dzsfdllc03qjspagzzlpwz'>nevent1q…lpwz</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I think that 26.03 was a good start, but 26.04 is where Catodon will really start shining and showing what it brings to the table.

I&#39;ve done all the testing I could, but if you see any bugs, please just let me know. If needed, I&#39;ll do a follow-up hotfix release.<br/><br/>So, what else can I say? A few months ago I thought Catodon was a dead project, so this is a bit surreal. But here we are - I&#39;ve worked my ass off for the last couple of months, and I hope you like this. I still have some major features coming up in the next releases, so this will only get better, but I&#39;m really proud of this first release too. Anything that annoyed you in Firefish or Sharkey is probably fixed here (and if not, let me know what it is so that I can address it in the next releases!). This is the fedi software I wanted to use for myself day-to-day, and I&#39;ve made the experience as smooth as I could. It will make me purr with joy if other people enjoy this as well.

You can also see a list of who reacted in grouped reaction notifications<br/>- Threads in timelines (imported from Firefish), greatly decluttering timelines for longer threads<br/>- Users now have the choice to link to external media (including GIFs) without permanently saving them to their Storage, using a new dedicated cache - allows admins to provide less permanent storage space per user, keeping server resources under control<br/>- There is a global, admin-definable cap to the cache for remote files, so that you no longer need to manually delete it regularly<br/>- Different/simpler terminology so that new users can understand what everything means more easily<br/>- Decluttered buttons under posts: Like/Reaction (merged), Reply, Repost/Quote (merged)<br/>- Deprecated/removed from the frontend the gamifying or local only/not widely used features: Channels, Achievements, Gallery, Clips, Games, Chat, Play<br/>- Redesigned left sidebar. Much fewer items in the Navigation Bar, which now expands/collapses with a button. The profile picture now acts as a direct link to your profile, as it's separated from the account menu that sits under it<br/>- Fewer timelines, no hardcoded links in the header menu - everything is a timeline<br/>- "Accounts timeline" based on the "Following" page, but upgraded to a timeline with columns scrolling independently and a search bar<br/>- The local timeline now takes the server's short name, adding a unique touch to your community<br/>- Custom feeds and Lists are in their own dedicated timeline<br/>- More filters in timelines and Lists - you can now view your following accounts' replies to others (or only to accounts you also follow) in Home, choose between Following and Mutual followers, and include the public posts from your server in Home (covering the functionality of the deprecated "Social" timeline)<br/>- Post area is now clickable everywhere, not only over the text area<br/>- You can view all reactions together under a post in detailed post view (added "All" tab). You can also see the total number of replies+subreplies next to the number of direct replies, showing instantly how deep the discussion under a post goes<br/>- Redesigned posting form with buttons in more practical positions - also the collapsed posting form at the top of timelines takes up half the space the old one did<br/>- The posting form autoexpands as you write longer posts - imported from Firefish<br/>- Autocomplete also shows results for names of users - you no longer need to remember the exact username to mention or DM someone<br/>- You can disable sign-in emails by deactivating sign-in notifications<br/>- You can now close the alt text window over images, which can make parts of them hard to see/read, by clicking on it<br/>- Much better key navigation - both with h/j/k/l and arrows. Focus is more often where you expect it to be, so that you can key nav instantly when opening a page. You can also swipe through timelines on desktop with left/right<br/>- Countless bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements!<br/><br/>:catodon:<br/>#Catodon </blockquote> 2026-03-17T14:42:48Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsvznypgfuqnayal07xqqmlsr35qf2383j3jc59caxfxu0qzdu0ynszyz4lm53wchjvsa2qjga3u6280gqa8jlpl3t5t0cstuefjcxfmq8xsmuq7g0 The time has come and I&#39;m beyond excited 😁<br/><br/>We just opened registrations on [catodon.rocks](<a href="https://catodon.rocks/">https://catodon.rocks/</a>).<br/><br/>I know that Catodon created a lot of expectations when Firefish fell apart, and I&#39;m sure many of you were disappointed to see it not going anywhere for a long time. This time I am doing it on my own, so things will happen the way they should have. And, although you can now check it out for youselves, I will say this: I firmly believe that it&#39;s better, on every level, than Firefish ever was. I was in both projects, I love them both, but Catodon combines the best features of Firefish and Sharkey, while also being very debloated, being much more comprehensible, and adding actually useful stuff - and I have more plans for the future.<br/><br/>I&#39;d love to hear your feedback on the UX of Catodon, and see how we can improve it further!
