Not yet but the ground work is there for that: https://github.com/carlnewton/habitat/blob/main/templates/base.html.twig#L2 I just need to actually implement that feature now.

My local instance is www.irthlingborough.net

Yes, categories are built in, but act more like labels to the main feed. You can look at a category homepage to see posts only in that category and hide posts from your main feed that belong in a category.

No worries, I appreciate the feedback! I was afraid that these posts would go without a single discussion!

It isn’t yet federated, but the plan is to use a gossip protocol system to connect instances: https://carlnewton.github.io/posts/location-based-social-network/#connecting-instances

I cross posted it here because this community seemed excited by the prospect.

This release is step 1. Federation is step 2 – see here: https://carlnewton.github.io/posts/building-habitat/

I probably won’t be using activity pub though, as great as it is, I don’t think it’s right for this project.

Hey, I’m so sorry that I missed this message for so long. I hope you’re still interested. Yes, I’m building Habitat: https://carlnewton.github.io/posts/building-habitat/

I appreciate that even that post is very old now, but it is under active development.
