Mastodon v1.3.2 Infxn

Original README.md

This is a fork of Mastodon, a GNU Social-compatible microblogging server, for the Infinimatix Network instance.

Infinimatix, coined by blending infinity and informatics, is a community of interest in informatics with a federated node in the Mastodon fediverse.

Maintaining this fork allows us to collaborate in making modifications unique to our instance. Feel free to create an issue or make a pull request, but keep in mind this is not the original project. If everyone can benefit from your change, please consider making your proposal there instead.

What is Infxn?

Infxn (pronounced "infection"), is the name of the Infinimatix Network instance's Mastodon mod. Key differences include:

• The Grow static site generator has been integrated in order to serve static AMP pages
• The about and about/more pages have been replaced with custom static AMP pages
• The "toot" and "boost" verbs have been renamed to "beam" and "relay", respectively
• The original Mastodon color palette and visual identity assets have been changed to use our own

For a more detailed list of differences, see: Differences between Mastodon v1.3.2 and v1.3.2 Infxn.

Differences

This file aims to document the differences between the original Mastodon release and the Infxn mod.

Between v1.3.2 and v1.3.2-infxn

Naming in several files

• The name, description, repository, and logo fields in various app JSON files
• The HTTP Server header (from Mastodon to Mastodon v1.3.2 Infxn) in /config/environments/production.rb
