It's a "language support" update: new post language settings, translation, etc.
Also, if you're using the Electron build, update to the last one (1.7.0) and get spellchecker synchronization when you change the language in the post editor!
@futzle Hello, thanks for your article about Takahē, would you say it's stable and complete enough for a daily use yet ?
The possibility to have hastag timelines is intresting, and just what I miss from other lightweight activitypub servers webui like rebased/pleroma.
I haven't found instances open to registration to give it a try ? https://www.icemoonprison.com/blog/?p=839 #takahe#fediverse

Kennt Ihr #Takahē? Habe das recht frische Fediverseserverprojekt eben zum ersten mal entdeckt, bin darüber gestolter, als ich mir das Profil von @kromonos ansah. Es ist wohl erst mal "nur" eine weitere Fedisoftware für kleiner/mittlere Servergrößen, die aber offenbar zumindest ein spezielle Besonderheit hat: Der Umgang mit Domains ist flexibel, ich hab das noch nicht ganz verstanden, aber es klingt vielversprechend.
I've already got enough going on, but I'm seriously tempted to spin up a new fedi instance (primarily for the #Bakersfield area) in order to play around with #Calckey.
Came across some #threadiverse compatibility issues in @toddsundsted's Ktistec project posted by @rahul (← this account is a #Ktistec instance) and it made me think: I would love to have a fediverse compatibility "issueathon" where we make a super list of everything that we expect to work across the fediverse and where all the issue are at.
@toddsundsted I think focusing an interoperate-a-thon on some of these smaller server projects like #Ktistec, #SNAC, #Bovine, #Kbin, #Takahe etc would be great. I wonder what the best format would be? Set aside a weekend sometime and set up a little global event for it maybe?

Takahē is a new kind of Fediverse server which is aimed at small to medium size servers. It's unusual as it allows the same server to host multiple domains, and allows each user to have multiple identities. You can find out more from the project's official website at:
"This is also what I call a "low JavaScript" interface - while there is some interactivity, for example to allow the Boost and Like buttons to work, or to have the timeline update without a refresh - it's not required at all, and the majority of the features work with JS turned off."
I'm pretty sure that the #Fediverse is one of the first social networks I've been on that didn't ever ask me to betray any of the people in my address book.
Realized that my tinkering with #GoToSocial, #Takahe, #CalcKey and #Snac2, continuing to use #Pixelfed, #Lemmy and #Bookwyrm, and looking for compatibility problems are part of the same impulse that had me trying out every web browser I could find in the early 2000s and deliberately using Firefox and Opera on Linux as my daily drivers instead of IE on Windows.
It's a drop in the ocean, but it's my push for interoperability over #monoculture.
If an actor provides an outbox URL, but not an inbox URL, it means that it cannot receive Follow activities and it can not push content to the followers. In such cases, the follower's server should switch to periodic polling like RSS.
This will enable statically-built blogs ( #jekyll#hugo etc) to appear in Mastodon network.
I'm playing around in #takahe 's GitHub repo and checking out the docker-compose.yml (which is not yet meant for production... but is still informative).
I'm really liking how all state is kept in the database. There are no persistent volume claims for Takahe itself. All configuration for Takahe is externalized through inherited environment.
@jbeimler yeah these are exciting times for the #fediverse. I’m setting aside time to play with #goToSocial and #takahe and see if I can give back to either project in terms of operational doc, Docker compose examples, etc.
