What is Gopherdon?

The Gopherdon app, designed from Hyperspace

Gopherdon is a decentralized social network built off of Mastodon that's dedicated to the Goucher community. Gopherdon is currently student-led, student-run, and we hope to keep it that way. It currently has all of the primary features of a given network and continues to grow as Mastodon does:

Image and video uploads
Favoriting and reblogging posts (we call these boosts)
Direct messaging, followers-only posts, and public posts
Polls and "hidden" content

Gopherdon also comes with its own official apps available on the web, desktop, and iOS/Android (soon). And, because Gopherdon is Mastodon-based, it works with any existing app for Mastodon and the fediverse, including Toot!, Mast, Hyperspace, Halcyon, and Pinafore.
