Iceshrimp is a decentralized and federated social networking service, implementing the ActivityPub standard.
This repository contains our efforts to continue the Iceshrimp project's legacy - in the form of an entirely new codebase, with a focus on performance, stability and maintainability.

Check back here after the beta release (scheduled for 2024-05-01) for a feature comparison matrix with the legacy JS codebase.

• Our backend lead dev (zotan) is in need of a better laptop, as their current one does not have enough memory. You can contribute here. Any leftover money will be given to queers in need.

Note

This is alpha (soon to be beta!) software. While the Mastodon client API is relatively complete, the frontend is not. It is therefore not advisable to upgrade existing Iceshrimp instances at present. Setting up staging instances to help us with testing is very appreciated, however, and will help us ensure eventual upgrades go as smoothly as possible.

We estimate there'll be a beta release in early May, and, if everything goes well, a stable release by the end of 2024.
