There are two big features in release v3.1.3 of Ktistec: auto-approve followers and a new image viewer.
Auto-approve followers is conceptually simple ("the server automatically sends an
Acceptactivity when it receives aFollowactivity") but it required extensive changes to some of the oldest code in the codebase: the inboxes and outboxes controllers. I refactored inbox and outbox side-effect processing into independent services, which made it possible to support side-effects like auto-approve follow (and also auto-follow back), without having to go through the controllers.A more significant change for me personally was replacing the lightGallery image gallery (an external dependency) with my own implementation. It's not as slick, and not as full of features—I wrote it in two days—but it is fully free software, and that's important to me.
Added
- Add admin page for managing OAuth access tokens.
- Add support for auto-approve followers. (fixes #26)
- Add support for auto-follow back.
Fixed
- Prevent triggering actor refresh when user is anonymous.
Changed
- Replace "lightgallery" dependency with custom image viewer.
- Set OAuth access token expiry to 30 days (previously expired after 24 hours).
- Refactor inbox and outbox processing into dedicated processor services.
The OAuth changes set the groundwork for better support of the Mastodon API and the Fediverse clients that depend on it. Stay tuned!

@julian Many of the hashtags that I use are not for discovery or not only. They are also or exclusively there to trigger filters.

I feel like this is the right time to mention https://xkcd.com/927/
You're very right here. There are tons of IM services. "Why introduce another one?" is a reasonable question
But I don't see it in those terms because we're not creating a new network. This is adding features to network we already have
I'll still use Signal. And Apple Messages
And I'd also like to talk privately with people here, as well. There is room for both.

Don't forget NodeBB is also based off of groups! We've increased support for it in 2025 and it's continuing to be our core focus into 2026.

That giant pile of hashtags and you don't use #ActivityPub? 😂

Yes, agreed. I know I said this before, but can't find it:
One important goal is to make a solid, consistent client-side API - something like what C2S was intended to be. That would enable interchangeable clients for mobile/desktop/etc that work with any server.. and greatly increase the trust factor.
I'm only good at making web apps, so that's what Emissary's first client will be. But there will be space for others to build on top of this work.

@🌴 Seph 💭 👾 Fun fact: Hubzilla (which my post and this comment come from) has a feed reader, too. But Hubzilla is the most powerful and feature-rich Fediverse server software out there. So if Friendica is overkill for you already...

@jupiter_rowland I do wish Friendica wasn't the only one with a feed reader, as Friendica is overkill for my needs most days.

@benpate @bonfire @swf @sovtechfund The weak point will be wherever you host the webserver. If a court or corrupt official orders them to install something bad, perhaps a backdoor, that is an issue.
