🥳 Manyfold v0.103.0 is out, and adds our new metadata packaging format on disk and in downloads, making it possible to easily get metadata out of Manyfold. We've also added the ability to associate collections to a particular creator. 🗞️ Full release notes […]

🥳 Manyfold v0.102.0 is out, with a few bugfixes and improvements, but as we mentioned last week, the main change is that we're no longer providing 32-bit ARM builds for old hardware. 64-bit ARM will always be supported though, so as long as you're running on something fairly recent, you […]

NOTICE: We are planning to drop the 32-bit ARM release soon. Currently it's breaking our Docker builds, so we can't release; the other platforms work. The only person using is that we know of from our usage reporting is main developer @Floppy, on an outdated Raspberry Pi! If *you* are using […]

We're having some problems with our Docker builds, as it seems many other projects are as well, so it might be a bit longer than normal until our next release, while this gets sorted out. Thanks for bearing with us!

Angry to see far-right attacks on @Codeberg. We're still small, so we don't get this yet, but as we grow I'm sure we will, and so we state now: The far-right are not welcome in this project. We can't stop those who thrive on hate from using it if they want to, but we will not help, and will […]

🥳 🎂 Manyfold v0.100.0 is out, and enables federation of public creators, objects, and collections between instances! Now you can follow any public item from a different Manyfold instance, then search, tag, organise, and get all the updates straight into your activity feed! It's a huge step […]
