Ocelot.social 3.16 Chatty Cat is here – Group Chat Rooms

May 6, 2026About 1 minReleasesReleasesChatGroups

Highlight: Group Chat Rooms

With ocelot.social 3.16 Chatty Cat, every group gets its own chat room where group members can communicate with each other. They can now communicate independently of posts, and everyone can see what has been written.

This was made possible thanks to donations from our second crowdfunding campaign. A huge thank you to everyone who supported this – without you, this update would not exist!
