GoToSocial Blog

Fediverse enabled microblog on https://social.f-hub.org

Feature overview

GoToSocial is a ActivityPub enabled federated microblogging platform that allows you to interact with the Fediverse.

This is a work in progress.

Account creation

You can log into your normal f-hub.org account on our GoToSocial instance and it will automatically create a new account.

On first account creation it will suggest your regular username from the f-hub.org account, but you can switch to any other handle for your fediverse presence at that point (it can not be easily changed later however). 

This could be for example useful for creating a promotional account for your open-source project instead of using an account with your personal nickname. However note that this account stays connected to your private account so if you plan to have multiple people have access to it, it might be better to ask us for a fully separate account on the main f-hub.org git forge.

Webfrontend and apps

GoToSocial generally works with all Mastodon API compatible mobile and desktop apps, but it only has a read-only web-interface itself. So to post something to your account you need to use an external app.

We host such an web-app for easy use on https://phanpy.f-hub.org 

It will ask for the address of your Mastodon instance, where you can use social.f-hub.org to log in.

Profile page customizations

If you want to have a nice public landing page for your blog, there are many themes to chose from in your profile settings.

GoToSocial also allows adding a lot of custom links for all your other relevant sites there.

For advanced users it also allows customized CSS code to be loaded. You can learn more about that here.
