What Fediwall is

Fediwall is a free, open-source media wall that displays recent public Fediverse posts in a self-updating grid. Configure it to follow hashtags, accounts, or trends across multiple servers; matching posts, including boosts, can appear on the wall. Its screen-filling masonry layout is designed to scale from tablets to large displays and venue LED walls, with dark mode and animations when new posts arrive. Moderation controls let you pin posts, hide individual posts, or block accounts. You can save a wall’s settings in its URL to bookmark or share that configuration.

Fediwall runs as a static website and can be uploaded to public web hosting without a server-side framework or runtime. It uses a subset of the Mastodon v1 API, which the maker says many Mastodon alternatives also implement. Posts from other platforms may appear when federated with a configured Mastodon server; direct support for APIs such as Pixelfed is planned. By default, the wall filters out replies, sensitive or limited-visibility content, and posts from suspended or limited accounts. The software says it collects no personal data and uses no cookies, though browser requests send your IP address and configured searches to source servers.

Who it suits

Fediwall suits event organizers who want to display community feedback or social media reactions on a large screen, as well as people browsing public Fediverse posts. It is also a fit for users who can host a static website and want controls to curate what appears on a shared wall.

Verdict
