It was founded by @polymerwitch and administrated by @cyrinsong and @wavebeem, with moderation help from @ashkitten. In May, they created their own [https://github.com/TootCat/mastodon/ fork] of Mastodon 1.4.1, mainly to improve the layout somewhat and create a special English variant called "Catspeak" (code: en-TC) which replaced "boost" (reblog), "favorite", and "mention" with "bap", "boop", and "meow at".

The transfer took place in early January, 2018. I requested the aid of {{l/mastodon|cobaltvelvet|octodon.social}} in doing the upgrade to the then-current Mastodon version, as well as fixing the SSL issue, both of which she accomplished smoothly and quickly.
