  1. I'm #LovingTheFedi; I really am, there's some #GoodFolks here... There are also some #InstanceOwners / #InstanceAdmins I wouldn't trust to run a #LemonadeStand...

    Let's be #LearningTogether and #GrowingTogether; except the #NaziFuckwits and #RacistHomophobes...

    #PunchThemTwiceForChristmas; even though #ChristmasIsBullcrap...

  2. Something weird is going on, this blitz is unprecedented even by the standards of the past few weeks — @mastodonusercount

  4. I’m setting up a small instance for a few friends and I’m wondering if there are best practices around relays? I’d love to have a little more federated content from the big instances so things like hashtag searches work better. Are there any useful open relays? #InstanceOwners #mastodonadmins #mastodonserver

  6. Okay, forgive me if this is a n00b question, but besides the benefits of decentralization (including local mod rules) and the ability to only see "Local" posts...

    What exactly are the benefits of being on a Masto instance dedicated to ones affinity/professional group when you can follow anyone and post across the network anyway?

    Why should I set up a server for a particular subject when following groups and hashtags work so well?

  7. Considering moving my PostreSQL database to a storage box and Mastodon cache storage to an old gdrive enterprise storage that happens to be from the era that it was "unlimited" and still is for us loyal users. I would have then only to worry about CPUs and RAM if I'd ever need to scale up.

    With rclone + Google Drive API + fusermount you can actually mount Google Drive as a mount point on Linux. My only uncertainty is can Mastodon read that data? It works for my other server but the caching mechanism is a mystery to me, because the files are not actually consuming any space on the server.

    I already have rclone mount set up and in place, now I just need to copy over the files via rsync. What command did you use @lari and how long did it take? Mine is stuck at "sending incremental file list", I guess there are tons of files...

    Should I even do this? The external storage box would last for years but I just want not to touch this for a long time scaling-wise. #Mastodon #MastodonInstances #InstanceAdmin #admins #InstanceOwners #selfhosting #selfhosted #ScalingUp #scaling
