# About us [https://outmo.de](https://outmo.de) is a general purpose [Fediverse instance](https://jointhefediverse.net/) running the ActivityPub (Mastodon etc.) compatible [Akkoma](https://akkoma.social/) software. It was started in early 2023, to provide an instance to the admins of [https://f-hub.org](https://f-hub.org) but can be used by anyone willing to adhere to the rules and terms of service. Currently registrations are open but require admin approval. A secondary purpose it to test out the F-hub.org hosted services setup and experiment with XMPP integration for Fediverse instances. #### Additional features Our Akkoma instance has an machine-translation feature utilizing a [LibreTranslate](https://github.com/LibreTranslate/LibreTranslate) instance on our own servers, so no data is shared with 3rd party services. It works quite well with most European languages and a few others. Todo: We plan to run our own [Meilisearch](https://www.meilisearch.com/) indexing software for improved local search of posts and hashtags.
