Unlike mainstream social media sites that funnel the world into a single (advertising-filled) shared experience, we recognize that individuals with different identities and interests. Aardwolf is a free, and open-source alternative to Facebook which respects user privacy. Aardwolf servers (also called instances) are able to be customized to fit your community's needs, while still being able to communicate to one another.

As a COMMUNITY it is very important to us that we maintain a positive and supportive environment for everyone who wants to participate. When you join us we ask that you follow our code of conduct in all interactions both on and offline.

Here are the areas we could use help with!

• Rust Developers, folk that want to learn are welcome! - Rust
• Frontend Developers, HTML/CSS folks that want to help with the UI/UX part of the project.
• Documentation help. Proofreading, organization, update wiki, etc.
• Docker containers/VM's. Some progress has been made building Docker images (for developement)

Once your ready to dive in please check out our contributor's guidelines, and our roadmap.

Currently Aardwolf-Social is broken down into several repositories

• Aardwolf-Social "Main", the one you are presently on.
• Aardwolf Interface, a repo to independently work on, and test Frontend development.
• Aardwolf Website, is where the Jekyll site is deployed from.
