# Hometown

> A supported fork of Mastodon that provides local posting and a wider range of content types.

The configuration aims to stay as close as possible to [coop-cloud/mastodon](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/mastodon).
At some point, ideally, we could merge them. We don't have enough folks running
both Mastodon & Hometown to understand if that is a good idea right now. To be
discussed.
