Habitat is a social platform for one place: your town, your neighborhood, your valley, run as your own instance where neighbors talk about what is happening around them. The home feed shows every post newest first, while the nearby feed reorders the same posts by distance from you, so the lost dog two streets away outranks news from across town. Posts carry a title, details, photos, and a category chosen from the list your administrator defines, and categories that need a place get a map marker pinned inside the area your Habitat covers. Comment on posts, tap the heart, hide categories you never want in your feed, and report what breaks the rules. Moderators work through user and post moderation queues, and every moderation action lands in a public log kept for thirty days, so decisions stay accountable to the community they affect. Administrators set the Habitat's location on a map, manage categories and whether each one requires a location, control registration, and pick defaults like kilometers or miles and light or dark themes. Members choose their own units and theme, change their details, or delete their account and everything it posted. There are no ads and no data harvesting, an RSS feed carries the ten newest posts, and notifications flag new comments on your posts. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
