Nicolium

Nicolium is a social networking client app. It works with any Mastodon API-compatible software, but it's focused on supporting alternative backends, like Pleroma or GoToSocial.

Goals

  • Feature-rich: Nicolium includes a wide range of features, such as a WYSIWYG text editor, draft posts, and more.
  • Compatibility: Nicolium is compatible with any Mastodon API-compatible software, treating alternative backends as first-class citizens. Chats, emoji reactions, groups, interaction policies? We support them all. Thanks to pl-api, which provides a unified interface for interacting with Mastodon API-compatible servers, implementation differences do not affect the user experience.
  • Unopinionated: Nicolium doesn't impose any arbitrary limitations on the user. We do not specify a limit of reactions you can use on a single post and try to implement every feature available in the API.
  • Stay private: Nicolium includes features which help you maintain online privacy. This includes URL cleaning, which helps you remove unwanted parts of URLs used to mark your online activity.

Try it out

If you want to use Nicolium on your server, follow the installation instructions in the documentation. We offer guides for Pleroma/Akkoma, Iceshrimp.NET, Mitra, and standalone installations.

Repository

The repository hosts Nicolium, but also libraries related to the project. Currently, this includes:

  • Nicolium itself — a social networking client app (formerly called pl-fe)
  • pl-api — a library for interacting with Mastodon API-compatible servers, focused on support for projects extending the official Mastodon API. It is used by Nicolium.
  • pl-hooks — a library including hooks for integrating with Mastodon API, based on pl-api and TanStack Query. It is intended to be used within Nicolium. Work in progress.
