There are hundreds of other features available; but these are the defining features which have been constant for about the last decade. At one point there were so many features that we couldn't manage them all, so we simplified. Now the interface is much more sleek and basic; and you can add apps from our free app store to provide any advanced features you desire or require.
Since 2017, every branch of this repository evolved to support communications over ActivityPub, the current web standard for social communications. We even brought back some of the dead product branches to make sure they could support this protocol, in case somebody wanted to experiment with them in the future. This gives you immediate access to (currently) around 5 million people across (currently) around a hundred different software applications. There are Twitter clones and Facebook clones and Instagram clones and YouTube clones - and we can interact with all of them. In the interests of full disclosure, this project began life in 2010 as a decentralised Facebook alternative, but we've since turned it into something completely different and no longer care about emulating anybody or anything. We provide a social experience and privacy mechanisms you simply won't find elsewhere.

This software will install as a fediverse server using the LAMP stack. There are also containerised installations available. It is regularly maintained and updated and you are welcome to help - if you want. Many/most of our sites are privately run on small devices for family and friends and we don't know and don't care how many exist or how many "users" are on our systems. There are very few public sites. We spend a lot of effort providing a level playing field for all. You have the same features and abilities no matter how big (or small) your server is.
This work is dedicated and released to the public domain with no strings attached. Be advised that many others have contributed code to this repository under a number of different OSI-approved software licenses during its existence. This has no effect on any of your fundamental software freedoms; although corporate legal consultants who wish to re-appropriate our work for their employer's profit will likely find this lack of license clarity "troublesome". This is intentional.
The current name of this repository implies fluidity. This code does not represent any specific product or brand or organisation. It represents an idea. The name of the software may change at any time for any reason. As a brand or product it technically does not exist. This is also intentional. We believe that brand worship tends to feed wealth accumulation which is at the heart of many of the problems faces humanity. It's perfectly fine if you disagree, but this is why we place no importance on having a recognisable product name.
