I'm thrilled about the launch of @altstore's support for ActivityPub. Welcome to the fediverse!
This integration will enable you to follow updates from your favorite apps and their developers right here on your fediverse timeline.
You can see their server's local timeline here, to get an idea of what that looks like: https://explore.alt.store/public/local
To me, this represents an innovative and exciting new way to spread the social web to new and different kinds of apps and services. What should we make social next??
And a heartfelt thank you from the @Mastodon team to AltStore for their generous donation 💞

@thisismissem ironically, I am debating rolling back the summary generation logic for NodeBB because sending the first 500 chars means fewer people go off-site to read the rest of the post.
I was able to get much more engagement by sending the entire darn thing in summary.

@hongminhee I also have one running with the latest alphas if needed. Let me know!

Just don't set as:sensitive with summary because that'll trigger a content warning!

MastoBlaster is now available in public testing on TestFlight.
It is a lightweight, privacy-first Fediverse client for iOS, built around a simple idea: fast, small, predictable behavior, and first-class support for snac.
What makes it different:
• snac-first by design, not "compatible by accident"
• Works with all Mastodon API compatible software, including Mastodon, snac, GoToSocial, Akkoma, and others
• EXIF stripping on upload (HDR and orientation preserved)
• Optional on-device alt text generation via Apple Intelligence for your uploads and for images in your timeline
• Markdown posting for snac
• Granular notifications, grouping, multi-account
• Blocking and moderation tools
• Very small footprint, very low RAM usage
Alt text generation happens entirely on device via Apple APIs on supported hardware. Nothing is sent to external services.
It is built around my own workflow and priorities. It may not be for everyone, and that is perfectly fine.
Important note:
MastoBlaster will always be free for BSD Cafe users, illumos Cafe users, and for anyone connecting to a snac instance, including self-hosted ones.
The app is already usable, but this is still a test phase. I am looking for feedback, bug reports, and real-world usage insights.

Stay tuned.

@fedicat@pc.cafe Oh, didn't know that. Thank you!

@hongminhee I was able to register a bonfire test account on indieweb.studio

@Zoufalec @mastoblaster @napierge Thank you for your feedback! The multi-account feature should be working correctly, but I will do some extra checks on my end. As for the rest, this is the very first beta of a new app, and the TestFlight phase is meant exactly for this: to help development and fix things that aren't working yet.
I'm taking note of your comments and will work to improve everything.
