Alternative app store [iOS] AltStore raises $6M, connects with the fediverse

The third-party app store known as AltStore, one of the first companies to offer an alternative app marketplace in the European Union, is preparing to connect its platform with the open social web known as the fediverse.

The move would connect users on other open social apps, like Mastodon or Meta’s Threads, with updates from their favorite apps in a new way.
