### What it’s about
|
||
|
||
We are now launching our first crowdfunding campaign for all users of *ocelot.social* networks and for anyone interested in promoting independent social networks.
|
||
|
||
We are starting with a feature that ensures that important information remains more visible in groups.
|
||
|
||
### Pinning posts in groups
|
||
|
||
The goal is to allow group administrators to pin posts to the top of their group’s post list,
|
||
so that members can see these announcements immediately.
|
||
This feature already exists for the general post list.
|
||
To make it available for groups, this feature needs to be significantly expanded and programmatic tests need to be added for quality assurance.

||

|
||
This is what a pinned post on a group page could soon look like (orange frame and banner).

||
### Why a crowdfunding?
|
||
|
||
busFaktor() e.V., the organization behind the free open-source software *ocelot.social*, is a non-profit.
|
||
Since it has no commercial interests, the further development of the software is financed solely through volunteer work, donations, membership fees, and contracts from the operators of *ocelot.social* networks to freelance developers.
|
||
This includes donations from you.
