# Catstodon
2023-05-10 21:36:57 +02:00

## Introduction
2023-05-10 21:36:57 +02:00
2022-08-15 21:19:43 +02:00
This Mastodon fork is based on the [glitch-soc Fork of Mastodon](https://github.com/glitch-soc/mastodon), with changes made to suit [CatCatNya~](https://catcatnya.com).
The aforementioned instance is running the `develop` branch.
2022-07-11 18:27:31 +02:00
I intend to contribute some useful differences back to [glitch-soc](https://github.com/glitch-soc/mastodon) and [vanilla Mastodon](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon).
2022-07-11 18:27:31 +02:00
To install, take a look at [glitch-soc.github.io/docs/](https://glitch-soc.github.io/docs/). The instructions and features are the same, except for the differences outlined below.

Contributing guidelines are available [here](CONTRIBUTING.md).

Note: Use the main branch only for forks. `develop` branch may, at times,
be force-pushed to (mostly for undoing cherry-picking of vanilla commits when upstream adopts them).
I highly suggest only ever running the `main` branch in production, as is done for [CatCatNya~](https://catcatnya.com)!
I also highly suggest not rebasing on this if you are maintaining a fork,
instead, use merge (fast-forward, if possible, with merge commit otherwise).

## Differences
2023-05-10 21:36:57 +02:00
2022-06-14 00:19:45 +02:00
- Some files are adjusted specifically for the CatCatNya~ instance. Specifically, these:
2022-05-01 15:49:54 +02:00
- sounds/boop.mp3
- sounds/boop.ogg
2023-05-10 21:36:57 +02:00
<br>You might want to revert these to the upstream files (or your own versions!) if you decide to use this fork for your own instance.
2022-05-18 22:18:14 +02:00
- The web frontend emoji picker is a blobcat instead of the joy emoji.
2022-07-05 10:07:00 +02:00
- The rate limits for authenticated users have been relaxed a bit.
- The API endpoint `/api/v1/custom_emojis` is no longer affected by AUTHORIZED_FETCH, allowing anyone to copy custom emojis.
2022-07-11 18:27:31 +02:00
- Allow higher resolution images. (4096x4096 instead of the previous limit of 1920x1080)
2022-08-12 21:46:49 +02:00
- Allow posting polls with only one poll option (if `MIN_POLL_OPTIONS` is set to 1 on your instance).
- Added oatstodon flavour (taken from [types.pl fork](https://github.com/ralsei/types.pl), by [@oat@hellsite.site](https://hellsite.site/@oat))
2023-05-10 21:36:57 +02:00
- Emoji reactions on statuses (with both Unicode and custom emojis, same as for announcements), a feature originally developed for [Nyastodon](https://git.bsd.gay/fef/nyastodon).
Ended up as a Catstodon-maintained patch after its initial two Pull Requests to glitch-soc, and is now pending [its third attempt of merging into glitch-soc](https://github.com/glitch-soc/mastodon/pull/2221).
