    Do you like Mastodon, but wish there was a privacy option to only post on your home instance without federating?

    There's a fork of Mastodon for that called Hometown:

    https://github.com/hometown-fork/hometown

    You can still post normal posts that federate, but Hometown also lets you post non-federating posts if you prefer.

    It also has other differences such as rendering full articles from Write Freely (and other federated blogging services).

    It's by @darius

      p.s. Just to make clear, this information is intended for instance admins rather than end users.

      If you're an end user who wants the option of instance-only posts, please contact your instance admin and send them the link to Hometown.

      I think you're right, it's based on other forks (including Glitch) which are credited in the link.

      I think you're right, Glitch is mentioned in the link:

      "I don't intend to stray very far from mainline Mastodon with this fork. If you want something that provides a ton of new features and widgets and stuff, the Mastodon Glitch Edition fork is a wondrous kitchen sink of major and minor tweaks."

      Does Zot have onboarding for non-tech people?

      @Corfiot @darius

      I agree.

      Apparently some of the features first used in the Glitch fork were later added to main Mastodon.

      Maybe "hometown posts" will appear in Masto itself at some point?

      @darius @Corfiot

      It's an interesting debate on there, thanks for the link.

      (I'd tend towards allowing it as long as it's not default.)

      According to @darius this has been discussed for a while on the standard Mastodon github page:
