Mastodon

Originally I only wanted to write an rss reader for KaiOS, now I have decided to connect the fediverse as well. a mastodon login enables you to display the mastodon home timeline. in mastodon you have the option of subscribing to other sources/instances of fediverse, which will then also find their way to your feature phone.
