# Catstodon
|
|
|
|
## Introduction
|
|
|
|
This Mastodon fork is based on the [glitch-soc Fork of Mastodon](https://github.com/glitch-soc/mastodon), historically
|
|
with changes made to suit [CatCatNya~](https://catcatnya.com).
|
|
Some changes may be contributed back to [glitch-soc](https://github.com/glitch-soc/mastodon). Non-security contributions
|
|
to Vanilla Mastodon have ceased for Fediverse-political reasons.
|
|
|
|
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.** The `develop` and `stable-develop/*` branches are experimental, have no
|
|
stable state, and are only used for testing changes e.g. [the staging instance](https://cts.kescher.at) or temporary
|
|
test instances.
|
|
For production, it is suggested you run:
|
|
|
|
- any of the `stable/*` branches or stable tags
|
|
- do note, however, that these branches/tags have a similar support cycle to upstream, and therefore also to vanilla
|
|
Mastodon!
|
|
- New Catstodon-exclusive features will only be introduced to the main branch. The `stable` branches will _not_ get
|
|
backports of new features.
|
|
- the `main` branch, which is comparable to "nightly" versions in vanilla Mastodon.
|
|
|
|
## Differences
|
|
|
|
- Some files are adjusted specifically for the CatCatNya~ instance, and you may want revert/change them. Specifically,
|
|
these:
|
|
- sounds/boop.mp3
|
|
- sounds/boop.ogg
|
|
- The rate limits for authenticated users have been relaxed a bit. Vanilla Mastodon, and by extension glitch-soc, sadly
|
|
has rate-limits that make it possible to run into these rate-limits during normal usage.
|
|
- 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 3840x2160)
|
|
- Allow posting polls with only one poll option (if `MIN_POLL_OPTIONS` is set to 1 on your instance).
|
|
- 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, but was handed over
|
|
to [Essem's fork, Chuckya](https://github.com/TheEssem/mastodon) and is now
|
|
pending [its fourth attempt of merging into glitch-soc](https://github.com/glitch-soc/mastodon/pull/2462).
|
|
- Lifts the "only federate local favourites" restriction on favourites/likes and emoji reactions.
|
|
- Cherry-picks the
|
|
[activity filter branch](https://github.com/chikorita157/mastodon-sakura/tree/newmain-tmp3-noellabo-filtering)
|
|
from [Sakurajima Mastodon](https://github.com/chikorita157/mastodon-sakura).
|
|
- Adds the ability to disable the suspicious sign in detection entirely.
|
|
- Useful for situations where the instance may not have up-to-date IP information, such as when the period of IP
|
|
address retention is set to a low value (see _Previous differences now merged into vanilla Mastodon_)
|
|
- Environment variable `MASTODON_USE_LIBVIPS` is true by default.
|
|
- This is a minor change, but it _requires_ all systems running Catstodon to run a recent libvips version (8.13+).
|
|
- Vanilla Mastodon intends to deprecate ImageMagick anyway, so sooner or later, this change will cease being one.
|
|
- Allow dashes in emoji shortcodes
|
|
- This is simply to allow custom emoji compat with other fedi software.
|
|
- Original patch by hazycora: https://github.com/TheEssem/mastodon/commit/2dde7a25a47a23f827e2fd2d07f55438f9985181
|
|
- Allow appending "?unrestricted_preview=true" to post links to bypass CWs and sensitive-markings of media for link
|
|
previews.
|
|
|
|

|

|
|
|
