Chuckya

Chuckya is a close-to-upstream soft fork of Mastodon Glitch Edition (more commonly known as glitch-soc) that aims to introduce more experimental features/fixes with the goal of making the overall experience more enjoyable. Although it's mainly developed for and used on the wetdry.world instance, it can be deployed by any server admin as a drop-in, backwards-compatible replacement for Mastodon.

Here are some of the changes compared to glitch-soc:

• Emoji reactions (glitch-soc/mastodon#2462)
• Tenor GIF picker (originally from koyu.space)
• Mastodon Modern theme (licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0, original repo)
• Workaround for OpenGraph video embeds when using Jortage
• Multiple fixes for oEmbed/OpenGraph embeds
• Polls can be posted alongside media (glitch-soc/mastodon#2524)
• Polls can have only one option
• Restores status trend half-life to 2 hours
• Allows dashes in custom emote names
• Emojis can be put side-by-side
• Unicode emojis use jdecked/twemoji v15 graphics (mastodon/mastodon#28404)
• Minor media attachment tweaks
• Custom favicon

Setup instructions are mostly the same as glitch-soc's; if you're migrating from an existing install, however, you'll need to run the following command before pregenerating assets to purge the existing asset cache:

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails assets:clobber
