Since around 2018-04 I took over maintenance of MastoFE as the previous maintainer was missing in action, there has been few occasional contributors since but no one that apparently could be a co-maintainer.
I switched it to Glitch-soc to ease collaboration and reduce our modifications, sadly the maintainer of Glitch-soc gradually changed from "friendly/welcoming to pleroma" to "fuck pleroma", which basically mean that MastoFE is now unmaintained, as I'd rather not have to somehow manage to revert back to Genuine/Vanilla Mastodon.
And as pleroma continues there is also a gigantic gap forming between what a true pleroma-frontend would feature and what a mastodon frontend patched for some neat features could feature (no settings, no chats, no emoji reactions, …).

For users this means that you should switch to another frontend (List of alternative frontends on Pleroma Documentation), for the ones that want to keep multiple-columns I would recommend Sengi, which also allows to use multiple accounts.

(I will archive this repo on 2021-05-01, this also means closing issues/comments/…)
