Yes, the main fork (which was up-to-date with the latest changes) was moved to an organization co-owned by the same 2 people and it is being maintained in continuity with the same goals and spirit.
It’s unlikely that any dev “kills” his work after being so committed to it and leaves users, whom he knew almost one by one, with a handful of dust.
This fork is the new official one. A new community has been created recently to replace the old one too.
We are planning to release a new version, at least on GitHub asap. The announcement is likely to be given in tomorrow’s Q&A session (the monthly AMA).
update: we have decided to continue the project starting from the latest active fork and re-create a new community here.
Since I worked on a Mastodon client, I know that there is a
hide_collections
parameter in the account settings which allows you to not disclose publicly your followers and following.It’s in the
PATCH v1/accounts/update_credentials
API request body, see documentation here.
