Unabhängigkeit als Stärke / Independence is key!

[DE] Warum ich die Preise für Dich stabil halten kann? Meine Infrastruktur ist bewusst über mehrere Provider verteilt. Ich evaluiere ständig neue Optionen und bin so absolut unabhängig von einzelnen Anbietern und deren Preissprüngen. Diese Flexibilität sichert Deinen Managed #Fediverse-Betrieb – stabil, unabhängig und zukunftssicher.

[EN] How can I keep prices stable for you? My infrastructure is intentionally distributed across multiple providers. I constantly evaluate new options, making me completely independent of individual hosts and their price hikes. This flexibility safeguards your managed Fediverse experience – stable, independent, and future-proof.

[DE] Der weltweite KI-Boom sorgt aktuell für explodierende Hardware-Kosten (vor allem bei RAM & SSDs). Große Provider wie Hetzner u.a. haben ihre Server-Preise deshalb bereits drastisch erhöht – viele Anbieter ziehen vermutlich ab September nach. Die gute Nachricht für Dich: Für alle meine bestehenden Managed #Fediverse Kunden bleibt alles wie gewohnt. Es gibt keine Preiserhöhung für Dich! Danke für Dein Vertrauen! 🤝

[EN] The global AI boom is driving up hardware costs (especially RAM & SSDs). Major providers like Hetzner have already heavily increased server prices, and others will likely follow by September. The good news: For my existing managed Fediverse customers, everything stays exactly the same. There will be no price increase for you! Thank you for your continued trust! 🤝

hey Admins,
Is there a bot, which replies under each picture post with missing alttext: "please use alt-text, because xyz"
It should just track your own instance

Maybe not under each post, but just once each month per user.... ?
Preferable it works with a token, so you can post with an admin account.

Do any of you know such a bot for self-hosting? It should work with #Mastodon and #Pixelfed.

Thx

Amazing to see the instance grow, Thank you all for joining us on here so far.

I'm glad to say we are connected to 1k other instances. With this we have more people joining us and glad to see what people are publicly posting, little projects, thoughts and ideas.

Keep up the amazing work and love you all.

4/4

Lighthouse was built with those principles in mind from day one.

Documented recovery plans.
Transparent policies.
Clear governance.
Sustainable operations.

If onboarding evolves, stability must remain the foundation.

is there any way i can enable showing of what MRF rules i have enabled, but entirely hide display of my specific MRF simple rules? for whatever reason i don’t like the idea of having a full list of all the instances i’ve blocked just be easily browsable (plus i don’t have to show it for the purposes of letting other people know with certainty whether or not i block an instance they may interact with – i’m a single-user instance), but i know having MRF rule display completely hidden is very eyebrow-raising too (then there’s no way to tell if i might have RejectDeletes set up, which ftr i don’t, but i mean, the problem here is that you just have to take my word for it)

i know you can obscure which domains are affected by MRF simple rules, but that still shows a big list anyways, no? so not quite what i’m looking for

Lighthouse lore vi
Post 3/5

S3 settled, Caddy cracked its knuckles, backups marched off like good soldiers. Even MinIO behaved for five minutes. The Lighthouse felt lighter — like it understood you weren’t building a stack, but a harbour.
A beacon for the tired, the tender, the fed-up.

This #Mastodon server is now running version 4.5.2 on #Docker Desktop 4.5.2 on #macOS #Tahoe 26.1 via #Cloudflare Tunnel cloudflared 2025.11.1, The #DockerCompose containers also include #PostgreSQL 14 and #Redis 7 on #AlpineLinux, and #Elasticsearch 7.17.29.

Yeah, bragging a little. I like my setup.

One thing about Akkoma that can cause you problems when hosting it is —

It stores media in the databases.

Including caching the profile images and profile headers from random people on the Fediverse.

This can cause your storage-drive to fill up.

I've seen 40% or more of the storage-drive taken up by this caching.

Anyone out there that is familiar with running a #GoToSocial instance. Mine has not imported most my following list yet from weeks ago. I'd like to find the hold-up or understand what's going wrong. Does anyone know a good place to start looking? Are there certain logs I should be looking for/at? I'd also take suggestions and best practices on how I can improve this server if you have any.

Some info on my setup:
- Using docker compose
- DB type: sqlite
- Storage backend: local

This mostly started out as a test but if I can get a good handle on all this, I think I'll make this my family's server. But again I wanna know it'll work well before migrating my main account and my wife's.

Hey fediverse admins, what would you recommend as the best way to ge people up to speed on how to run a herd of fediverse servers? Imagine these are "computer people" with intermediate or even advanced tech knowledge/ skills, but no prior experience with hosting servers.

#Frage an #FediVerseAdmin und #FediVerseExpertin

#Kopie oder #Spiegel?

Wenn ein #Post, auf eine andere #Instanz "übertragen" wird, ist das eine Kopie oder ein Spiegel des Ursprungsposts?

Daraus ergeben sich auch noch weitere Fragen, die ich nach und nach im Thread stelle.

#FediVerse #verstehen

Hello, #Fediverse / #Mastodon folks with much more knowledge and experience than I. Is there a reason *not* to create a Pascal case username when joining a new Mastodon server/instance? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks. #mastoAdmin #MastodonAdmin #FediAdmin #FediverseAdmin

Ich würde das Listen-Feature von Mastodon gerne mehr nutzen, mir fehlt es aber an Profilen, welche ich den Listen zuordnen kann.

Deswegen: Kennt ihr Profile aus den folgenden Kategorien, welche ich diesen jeweils zuordnen kann?

#Journalismus
#Bildung / #FediLZ
#Ernährung (#veggie / #vegan
#Verkehrswende / #MobilitätAlsDienstleistung
#Nachhaltigkeit
#Politik
