This plugin is for site owners who want to create a private, decentralized social network directly from their own platform. It allows you to follow content from other sites and interact with them, putting you in control of your data and connections.

• Self-Hosted Social Reader: Acts as a core feed reader that aggregates posts from RSS feeds you follow, displaying them in a unified stream on your own site with notifications.
• Decentralized Network Building: Establishes direct connections between sites. You can send and accept friend requests to enable private post sharing between approved sites.
• ActivityPub Integration: When combined with the ActivityPub plugin, you can follow and interact with users on Mastodon and other federated platforms directly from your site.
• Content Organization: Categorize incoming posts using formats and create rules to filter feeds, so you only see the content you want.
• Extensible Functionality: Its core features can be expanded with additional plugins for capabilities like sending posts to an e-reader or collecting posts for later reference.
