To be more accurate, I was in the Firefish core team, I started Catodon with another Firefish dev when Firefish was being abandoned, but that dev quickly lost interest. Since then (a couple of years ago now) I’ve been trying to work with a dev but had no luck. So yeah, I recently started experimenting with LLMs and it went much better than I expected - you have to be careful with some things, but it’s doable.
So Catodon (which was first announced as a Firefish fork in 2023) finally had its first stable release in March, and I intend to continue working on it. It’s based on Sharkey, but I’ve also ported some Firefish features, and so far I’ve added a Direct Messages chat-like page, an RSS timeline and a LOT more smaller features, and my next goal is implementing Lemmy/Piefed/NodeBB compatible forums (which I wanted to do -and had suggested- since I was in Firefish).
If you have any questions, I’ll be happy to answer, and thank you for taking interest in my project! Hope to join the threadiverse with my main account very soon - the goal is within April.
@panos@community.nodebb.org Was not able to resolve the post, but I don’t think it’s your fault, lemmy.world turned on CF bot protection and it’s blocking me :(
@staden_@pawb.social sure, in Settings > Preferences > Other you have three options, Catodon, Misskey and Sharkey styles, with Sharkey being the more squared one (and Catodon the roundest one). You can also change themes or create your own.
Hey folks, just discovered this thread thanks to @julian@activitypub.space 's mention above!

@julian@activitypub.space ugh - I can fetch it from this NodeBB server though by using the original url! I gave the url through lemmy.world above. https://community.nodebb.org/topic/439c1e92-64f5-41ae-8dd4-24d763313149/hello-world-from-catodon?_=1775733822991
@panos@community.nodebb.org I’m also not able to fetch it directly
https://catodon.rocks/notes/akv4dziup8bz00hy sends HTTP 401 to my local dev instance. Might be because it’s a localhost address.
It loads on from a properly hosted instance though :)
Any way to customize the layout? I’d rather to not have rounded corners on everything.

Oh, nice. Thank you!
