We're so excited for AltStore's launch into the open social web! Starting today, every app listed on the AltStore will send updates to the Fediverse and bridge those updates to the Atmosphere via Bridgy Fed 🌐🚀 And there's even more goodies in this release 👀 Congrats to the AltStore team!

The wait is over! Today we're officially joining the fediverse 🚀 AltStore PAL 2.3 is now available and makes it easier than ever to discover new apps from across the social web 🌐 Even better — we’re also launching some awesome fediverse apps on AltStore to celebrate! Learn more 🧵

An extra bonus for Vivaldi users on iOS: today's new Vivaldi 7.8 lets you install alternate app stores, such as @altstore.io where you don't have to pay tribute to Apple. (Note, only in EU; other jurisdictions don't have Digital Markets Act, so Apple won't let you have nice things.)

Our response to Apple's statement on Hot Tub

🙋‍♂️ To answer some questions: Hot Tub is NOT visible in AltStore PAL by default, and it is not a Recommended Source. You must explicitly add its source before it will appear in AltStore PAL — just like the majority of AltStore apps. This means you'll only see it if you want to 🙂
