@weekinfediverse@mitra.social We can also announce that Klonkt 1.6.0 was released last night and is looking for a maintainer. It is the first release with the proposed FEP-633c: Guardians implemented and the last one before a refactor. These are exciting times for us and we are focusing on the future again. A few major changes have already made it into the new version on the main branch on GitHub and foreseeing changes to the ActivityPub service that has grown substantially we do not have the capacity to do both.Klonkt is a NodeJS project with a modest dependency footprint and is aimed at independent artists and other kinds of publishers. 

@phnt I don't see it that way. There are at least 4 different fediverse symbols. One of them was introduced by Ghost (IIRC) but it didn't gain much traction.

@light Phanpy client has "Catch-Up" page which is an interesting step in the direction of non-chronological feeds. I am thinking about implementing something similar.
