With EchoCrate, I'm tackling the persistent frustrations of running a single-user instance in the Fediverse.

Traditional setups often deliver a subpar experience: profile updates from accounts you follow can arrive delayed or not at all, entire conversation threads (especially deep replies) frequently fail to load properly, and countless other small but annoying gaps in federation create a disjointed feel compared to centralized platforms.

EchoCrate addresses these peoblems preemptively.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://ap.elaine.is/users/elaine/statuses/mkk63yzyftt9q0uznij on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
