The record

Product: Hollo is a single-user federated microblogging tool for running a personal server.
Audience: Hollo is designed for individual users and personal microblogs, notes, and journals; it can host multiple accounts on one instance.
Federation: Hollo uses ActivityPub to connect with services including Mastodon, Misskey, Akkoma, WordPress, and Threads.
Client API: Hollo is headless and implements the Mastodon API, so users interact through compatible client apps rather than a built-in web interface.
Writing: Posts support CommonMark formatting and can be up to 10,000 characters long.
Core features: Hollo supports hashtags, mentions, media attachments, polls, sharing and favoriting posts, and Misskey-style emoji reactions.
Quotes: Hollo supports FEP-044f-compliant quotes in Misskey-style and Mastodon-style implementations.
License: Hollo is distributed under the GNU Affero General Public License version 3 or later.
Deployment: Hollo can be deployed to Railway, with Docker, or manually on a server.
Requirements: Manual installation requires Node.js 24 or later, pnpm, ffmpeg, PostgreSQL 17 or later, a load balancer, and a domain name.
Storage: Hollo requires S3-compatible object storage for media when following the Railway deployment guide.
Client support: The maker lists tested web, Android, and iOS clients, including Phanpy, Moshidon, Mona, and Woolly, while noting some client features may not work as expected.
Client limitations: The tested-client notes say Elk does not support emoji reactions and treats quotes as write-only; Phanpy reactions are read-only.
Security configuration: Hollo requires a session secret key of at least 44 characters, and its documentation warns that enabling the Fedify debugger in production exposes internal trace data.
