For those wondering how #Holos works - running an ActivityPub server directly on your device - here's an explanation:https://holos.social/how-it-worksKeep in mind: the relay never knows your private key that signs your activities. Your data stays on your phone, you keep control. Even if the relay goes down or blocks you, you can migrate with your identity and followers to another relay.

@coopOur beta testers are currently dealing with the rough edges, but thanks to their help, we're making the app better every day :)

@appsSounds interesting. What happens if you miss a follow message ie it expires before you get to fetch it?

@ScriptFanixIf the relay goes down or blocks you, you'd miss incoming activities during that time. However, your followers list (stored locally) lets you migrate to a new relay and notify them of your new address.

@apps does this mean Holos can migrate content as well ? 🤗

@apps This mostly looks like the relay is the server, and the phone is still the client...

@Varpie Actually, it's the opposite! Your phone runs a full ActivityPub server: it signs activities, stores data, and processes federation. The relay is just a proxy providing stable identity (@user@domain) and routing.

@apps wouldn't it be possible with some .well-know trickery (and a small webserver to host the file of course) to use my own domain instead of relay's?

@apps @user@domain How is it different from having a heavy ActivityPub client using the C2S part of the spec, and a lightweight server that doesn't persist data once it has been read? I don't remember the ActivityPub saying anything about data persistence between client and server.

@VarpieThe key difference: in C2S, the server still needs to be online 24/7 to receive activities. With Holos, your phone is the server but isn't always online. The relay isn't an ActivityPub server - it's a routing proxy that queues activities when you're offline (up to 7 days) and forwards them when you reconnect. It never processes or persists your ActivityPub data, just routes it.
