How it works

How it works

Two protocols. One network.

A look under the hood: how Disbigle joins ActivityPub and diaspora* without anyone noticing.

Disbigle in the middle of the federated networks

Explore the details

Architecture

A protocol-neutral core and two adapters. Read

Federation & the bridge

How comments and likes cross networks. Read

Security & privacy

Every message checked, privacy in one place. Read

Self-hosting

Node, PostgreSQL, Redis. No Docker needed. Read

For diaspora* podmins

Move your pod in place, keep everything. Read

Open source

AGPL-3.0, on GitHub. Read

A post, step by step

You write

You post and choose who can see it.

Disbigle sorts

It groups recipients by server and by protocol.

Two languages

ActivityPub for Mastodon, the diaspora protocol for pods. Same moment.

Replies come home

Replies are relayed to everyone in the thread, on both sides.

Replies from four networks in one thread

One address, one key

Each person has one handle like [email protected] and one RSA key. Mastodon and diaspora* find them with the same WebFinger lookup.

The core of Disbigle does not know any protocol. Only the adapters do: that keeps the social rules in one place.
