+ Social Reader is a P2P and offline ActivityPub client for reading and + following microblogs on the + Fediverse. +
++ Unlike traditional platforms, Social Reader does not index data on a + server. It empowers you to load public ActivityPub data directly, + turning your device into a personal indexer. This means + your content, your control. +
+
+ Social Reader natively supports content loading over P2P protocols such
+ as
+ ipfs://
and
+ hyper://
. This innovation bypasses the need for always-online HTTP servers,
+ allowing you to access content anytime, anywhere—even offline.
+
+ Social Reader is built on principles of low-tech; minimal dependencies, + vanilla JavaScript, unminified scripts, and IndexedDB for local data + storage. View and contribute to our open-source code on + GitHub. +
+FAQs
+How do I create an account on Social Reader?
++ Social Reader is designed as a reading and following client, which + means you cannot create an account directly within the app. To + actively write and contribute to the Fediverse, you would need to + interact with the + Social Inbox + API. This can be done through platforms like + Sutty CMS or by forking and hosting + your own instance of + Staticpub + repository. +
++ Why is Social Reader different from mainstream social platforms? +
++ Social Reader eliminates the middleman, ensuring direct communication + with your audience without the interference of third-party algorithms. + This ad-free experience prioritizes user autonomy and engagement, + making it ideal for community leaders and organizations seeking + genuine reach and engagement. Unlike traditional social networks where + follower engagement often requires payment, Social Reader and the + broader Fediverse allow for genuine reach and engagement. +
+I found a bug. Where do I report it?
