Explore the federated social web with Tuba for GNOME. Stay connected to your favorite communities, family and friends with support for popular Fediverse platforms like Mastodon, GoToSocial, Akkoma and more. Tuba is a fork of Tootle.
The Fediverse is a decentralized social network that consists of multiple interconnected platforms and communities, allowing users to communicate and share content across different networks and servers. It promotes user privacy and data ownership, and offers an alternative to centralized social media platforms.
Tuba, like most GTK apps, use GdkPixbuf to handle images. While it can handle most basic formats on its own, some newer formats require external loaders.
This is free and open source software.
