We use [Codeberg issues](https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Abug) to track these. Since every ActivityPub server implementation has a slightly different interpretation of the protocol, some servers don't quite federate properly with GoToSocial yet. We're tracking these issues [in this project](https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/projects/4). Eventually, we want to make sure that any implementation that can federate nicely with Mastodon should also be able to federate with GoToSocial. diff --git a/web/template/page_footer.tmpl b/web/template/page_footer.tmpl index 4d21ad07a..0f7e21117 100644 --- a/web/template/page_footer.tmpl +++ b/web/template/page_footer.tmpl @@ -35,9 +35,9 @@ rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" > - + Source - GoToSocial {{ .instance.Version }} - + {{- if .instance.ContactAccount }}
