To see oursels as others see us
1. What is this?
Coder Dansu is a Fediverse server. It talks to a network of Mastodon and similar servers. Note: The network is similar to Twitter ® but it isn't controlled by a corporation.
Coder Dansu is based on Soapbox-FE and Pleroma-BE. It has some tweaks of its own that make it, in our view, fairly nice.
A link to source code and build remarks will be added to this page.
There is one privacy warning that we'll offer up front. Media attached to a user's direct messages will presently show up in their public media tab.

3. What's special about this node?
This part will be of interest primarily to FOSS developers who are working with their own Fediverse instances.
* We're using Pleroma-git for the back-end and a Soapbox fork for the front end.
* We've removed the right panel. Links there have been moved into the Site Map. This greatly widens the primary column.
* Some Soapbox-FE bugs and glitches have been corrected. One patch has been made to Pleroma-BE. Note: That patch has been accepted upstream.
* A few RSS feeds have been added as simulated accounts. For example, this instance hosts the Fossies Fediverse feed at this link.
* A set of blue navigation buttons have been added to the top of most pages. The left vertical sidebar is still present but is slightly different.
* The height of the Soapbox log-in and sign-up "call to action" panel has been reduced. The original version was effectively a nag pop-up. The new version is less intrusive.
* A new Site Map has been added. It collects a number of useful admin and user features in one place.
