Yotter is in a **beta** state. This means that we will be incrementally increasing the capacity of the servers so we can empirically know how many users a Yotter server can handle. Also, there is no **big server** with capacity for handling any arbitrary ammount of users and serving video/data to those at the moment. For this, we decided to have a registration form so we could limit the users. + +2. Yotter allows users to follow accounts and have a custom feed. This needs an account to save your followed users and generate a feed. + +Admins are allowed to remove restrictions on any page they want. [Check this section](https://github.com/ytorg/Yotter/blob/dev-indep/SELF-HOSTING.md#removing-log-in-restrictions) to learn how. + # Privacy #### Connections Yotter cares about your privacy, and for this it will never make any connection to Twitter or Youtube on the client. Every request is proxied through the Yotter server; video streaming, photos, data gathering, scrapping, etc.
