Catstodon

Introduction

This Mastodon fork is based on the glitch-soc Fork of Mastodon, with changes made to suit CatCatNya~. The aforementioned instance is running the develop branch. I intend to contribute some useful differences back to glitch-soc and vanilla Mastodon.

To install, take a look at glitch-soc.github.io/docs/. The instructions and features are the same, except for the differences outlined below.

Contributing guidelines are available here.

Differences

  • Some files are adjusted specifically for the CatCatNya~ instance. Specifically, these:
    • sounds/boop.mp3
    • sounds/boop.ogg
      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.
  • The web frontend emoji picker is a blobcat instead of the joy emoji.
  • Editing posts is enabled in the web frontend (thanks, meave, for the hint).
  • 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.
  • Allow higher resolution images. (4096x4096 instead of the previous limit of 1920x1080)
  • Allow posting polls with only one poll option (if MIN_POLL_OPTIONS is set to 1 on your instance).
