ArrCay Documentation

ArrCay is a social media community connected to dozens of platforms, across thousands of servers, with millions of users. One of those platforms happens to be Threads, the new product of Meta (ya know, the Fecesbook, Instawhoregram company). For more details read What is ArrCay?

The last social media 'account' you'll ever need.


It is cancel-proof.

Your ID/Account and all related data are yours, forever.


This is not a some terms/restrictions apply, results not typical, read the fine print, consult your doctor, lawyer, accountant... type of statement.

Channels (unique portable IDs created with an ArrCay account) are not restricted to only 'living' or existing on this server. Even if ArrCay.com disappeared, your channel (cloned to any compatible server) can go on like nothing happened.

Become free of nonsensical corporate censorship commonly passed off as "community standards" violations.
No ads, and thus no selling of your data.

You can even admin your own server if you'd like - See managed hosting costs here.

Multiple Identities
: Create different channels for specific purposes or audiences (e.g. friends & family, colleagues, hobbies, etc.) under one account. The admin of an instance can limit the number of channels allowed per account based on an account's "service class".

Cloud storage
: Built-in network file storage integrated with federated access control and social networking access/permissions. Available over WebDAV. Cloud storage limits may be restricted by admin based on account service class.

Permissions
: Because not everybody wishes to converse with and share intimate facets of their life with random strangers. If you haven't been given permission to speak, you aren't part of the conversation. If you have not been granted permission to view a photo, video, or other file you won't see it.

Failsafe
: Because the best time to have a current backup of your data is 10 seconds ago. Clone your online identity and content to multiple sites and mirror any changes in near realtime. Then, if your chosen site goes down (either temporarily or permanently) or you get booted off of it for some reason, your online life doesn't have to come to an end or force you to start over. All your friends and all your content are available on any of your cloned instances - at any time.

Conversations:
Communicate directly with the people in the conversation, not have completely isolated conversations with your followers and their followers shouting at each other — and neither audience seeing the responses of the others.

Lists
: Sometimes referred to as circles or aspects, this lets you define your own groups of related friends and communicate with them as a private group.

Audience:
Your choices go far beyond public and not public. Select a group, list, or just a dozen individuals right now and have a conversation only with them.

Groups
: Public, private, and moderated. These work across nearly all fediverse platforms.

Share
: Drag-and-drop a number of different things such as files, photos, videos, webpages, maps, fediverse articles, and phone numbers to share them.

Guest Pass
: Provide special guest access to private resources and media - on your terms.

Location Services
: Check-in, check-out, and search by distance

Events
: Calendar and attendance; automatic timezone adjusted birthday notifications for friends using this feature.

Friend Zoom
: Set your degree of closeness to any connection and then interactively zoom in to filter your stream to close friends; or zoom out to see posts by casual acquaintances.

Editor
: Supports markdown, html, and bbcode. Use any or all of these in any post to create a media rich experience. Post editing and preview are supported. It is somewhat unlikely that in normal use you will exceed the federated post length limits (roughly 100 printed pages of text). There are no arbitrary limits placed on the number of attached photos, files, or poll responses.

Timed Posting
: Create content now with a future scheduled time for it to be posted/distributed to contact/audience. Set an expiration time to remove content; if set, at the specified time (give or take approximately ten minutes based on the remote system's checking frequency) the post is removed.

Even More Encryption
: Private messages are encrypted during transport and storage. In this day and age, this encryption may not be enough if your communications are extremely sensitive. This options lets you provide optional encryption of content "end-to-end" with a shared secret key. How the recipient learns the secret key is completely up to you. You can provide your own password hint.

Federated Single Sign-on
: Provides automatic login to external sites and makes private/protected resources on those sites as accessible as on local sites.

Federated Access Control
: Works with Federated Single Sign-on to provide private/protected media and web resources to anybody, including those visiting from different sites.

Delivery Reports
: In a decentralised multi-platform world, stuff happens. Sites and networks sometimes go down. Project developers sometimes introduce bugs and incompatibilities. This allows you to determine what happened to your post or comment and where it actually went once you published it.

Extend
: Change or upgrade your software functionality as desired by installing additional features from addons and the free app collection.
