Features

Takahē is currently in development, so it does not yet have all the features of a full ActivityPub server.

Currently, it supports:

• Web UI only (but can be installed as a PWA)
• Creating, editing and deleting posts, with CWs/summaries and visibility
• Adding and showing images on posts (with image descriptions)
• Handling replies and reply threading
• Creating and receiving boosts and likes
• Delivering mentions, and notifications for incoming mentions
• Following and unfollowing, and you-were-followed notifications
• Post visibilities, including a local-only option
• A home timeline, a local timeline, and a federated timeline
• Profile pages with bios, icons, and header images
• RSS feeds for users' public posts
• Hashtag linking and searching
• Searching for users by exact handle
• Multiple domain support
• Multiple identity (per user account support)
• Server defederation (blocking)
• Signup flow
• Password reset flow
• Hashtag trending system with moderation

Features planned for releases up to 1.0:

• A mode where followers must be approved
• Emoji fetching and display
• Emoji creation at server level
• Server announcements system
• Moderation flagging system and queue
• IP and email domain banning
• Mastodon-compatible client API for use with apps

Features that may make it into 1.0, or might be further out:

• Creating polls on posts, and handling received polls
• Filter system for Home timeline
• Mastodon-compatible account migration target/source
• Relay support

Features on the long-term roadmap:
