We talk about #HolosSocial forgetting some of you might not know this project.
#Holos is a full ActivityPub server running on your device. Currently on Android, next on iOS.
We already introduced #E2EE DMs and #ActivityPub identity through custom domains. You own your followers, your keys, and your identity. Relays are just infrastructure.
On the footer of https://holos.social we added pages explaining the project. Have a look!

@apps @HolosSocial this is a really intriguing concept! Is there any solution for backup in the case that someone's phone dies or is stolen?

@rainer
Yes, the app supports scheduled backups via S3 or WebDAV, so your data stays safe even if your device is lost or stolen. We'll also be adding an optional passphrase for encrypted backups soon.

> Activities are stored by priority: follows & DMs (7d), mentions (3d), likes & boosts (24h).

This part isn't clear. Are these durations in parentheses time limits before they are dropped?

@hosford42
Yes, those are the time-to-live values on the relay. If the app hasn't confirmed reception within that period, the activity is dropped. Once the app confirms reception, the activity is immediately deleted from the relay.
These values can be changed by the relay admin and are always displayed on the relay's about page.

That's pretty cool! I assume there's no easy way to sync this with multiple devices, it's single-phone at a time?

@iMeddles
For now it's single device, but we're working on multi-device support. Our approach is to handle sync through the relay rather than backups. Each phone would run its own server independently and receive activities from the relay, which could also store lightweight sync data like read positions.
