Holos announced they're working on adding custom domain support to their server. It's a really cool development, and I figured I'd share it here real quick.

If you're unfamiliar with Holos, it's an Activity Pub server that aims to be more relay like (somewhere between AT/Nostr and a standard Activity Pub account). The server acts as a relay, keeping a public copy of your posts and profile data online, but it delegates most operations to your client.

When I wrote about it a month ago it sounded like it was a possible consideration, but having it confirmed as something that's actually going to be the case is really cool to see. At the cost of being a bit more technical, the idea of owning your identity on Activity Pub is really cool (you 'own' your own domain, plus are able to migrate even if the server is down since your client can make outgoing connections).

Anyway, figured it was worth a share, I'm looking forward to seeing Holos continue to be developed.

I'm experimenting with what I've deemed a 'mini blog' – smaller posts and different mediums separate from normal posts, while experimenting with different platforms/protocols, all linked together via a page and RSS link. If you want to see more you can follow here.
