About Wafrn
Wafrn is a social network modelled on Tumblr that federates with other Fediverse software and with Bluesky, so accounts on a Wafrn server can follow and interact with people on those platforms. You can join an existing server or host your own using the published deployment guide.
Besides the web interface, there is a mobile app for Android, available on F-Droid, IzzyOnDroid and as a direct APK, and for iOS through the App Store and TestFlight. The server and app source code are published on Codeberg under the AGPL-3.0 licence.
