takahe.social

takahe.social is our “flagship” server - a Takahē server run by the main developers as a testbed and proving ground for server changes, and a place to get user feedback.

Much like Takahē itself, it is still in development - we don’t encourage you to rely on it for anything serious. It mostly works, but there’s lots of sharp edges and things that aren’t quite fully done yet.

Joining

The server is currently invite-only. If you want an invite, please email invite@jointakahe.org stating why you’d like an invite, and confirming that you are happy to be an early tester! We’ll send out invite codes in small batches.

If you are extended an invite, we heavily encourage you to join our Discord server and provide feedback on your experience, even if it’s all good!

If you find an actual bug in the server, and not just a missing feature, go check the GitHub Issues, make sure it’s not there already, and then file it with as many details (including screenshots) as you can.

Behaviour

All users of takahe.social must abide by the project’s Code of Conduct. Please use the “report” feature to send any posts that do not agree with the Code of Conduct into the moderation queue.

The server also has additional Terms of Service that you must agree to to create and continue using an account. Among other things, copyrighted content not covered under Fair Use and illegal content is strictly forbidden.

What Doesn’t Work Yet

The current features are not yet implemented:

Uploading video or animated GIFs
Manual follower approval rather than automatic
Seeing, creating, and responding to polls
Moving accounts to/from other servers
Account deletion (we will honour GDPR/etc. requests via manual deletion)
Filters
Image focal point selection

Custom Domains

While custom domains are a feature of Takahē, we will be limiting them, at least initially, on takahe.social. If you’d like to set up a custom domain, please email contact@jointakahe.org.
