+- **Solo** — one personal site, entirely yours, on your own domain.
 - **Blog & photos** — posts with cover, tags, timeline or grid.
 - **Host your own music** — built-in audio player with tracks, albums and playlists.
-- **Fans & comments** — visitors sign in with Google (optional) and comment.
+- **Fediverse-native** — your posts federate over **ActivityPub**: people follow,

+  see a home timeline, and reply/like back — Klonkt is a full fediverse client.
 - **Grow**: newsletter, download-for-email, EPK/press kit, link-in-bio,
   show calendar, and **cookie-free statistics**.
