  1. I have decided to stop hosting #Gotosocial.

    This, in NO WAY means I'm leaving Mastodon. I am frankly, tired of having two accounts and having to dedicate resources to the task.

    So, I seek, #mastodon people, a #mastodoninstance that is lenient on photo uploads. 6 is fine. 6 is a good limit for me. 6 is a "run".

    Don't worry!! I have a plan for my backlog. I'm putting up a #Hugo site!

    Less resources and better searchability since I'll be on a big instance. No more subscribing to people on two different accounts...

    Anyhoo. New account info soon. Seeya there.

  3. Ladies and gentlemen, girls and boys, and everyone in between, let's do it.

    Let the team managing your #MastodonInstance finish 2025 successfully.

    A €2 monthly contribution helps them a lot in their monthly struggle to keep things running.

    Compared to the number and high quality of the toots and discussions here, that's the cheapest December gift you can give them and yourself.

  5. Why is that when I search for an account on an instance, it shows up but when I search for the same account on another instance, it doesn't show up? This has happened to me far too many times at this point. And I used to think it only happens on #infosec.exchange (this was the only instance I have ever used till today's afternoon). But I checked out other instances today and it happens on others too including #sakurajimamoe 🥲 And this doesn't only happen with accounts but also with posts. On some instances, for some accounts, it doesn't show any activity or posts of the account at all even while the profile shows when searched. And sometimes, it shows some posts and doesn't show some. Can anyone enlighten me about this 🙏🙏

  7. Not sure what's happening but somehow it seems like the gamedev.place instance is not fully syncing with loops.video just yet.

    Might take a while until the instances communicate correctly with each other. I will check this again at the end of the week.

  9. I've had no complaints with my #mastodoninstance but have to admit I've thought about moving to somewhere that has a much more generous #characterlimit than 500. 2,000 would be a much better fit for the stuff I'd like to post and threads are not great in #mastodon - can anyone suggest somewhere with larger limit and bonus points if it's #softwareDevelopment #gaming #gayming or #lgbt / #queer instance?

  11. The one thing I wish I could figure out while running my own instance is how to populate the "Explore" feature with more stuff. Being on the main mastodon.social node gave me a lot more to look at. Any pointers out there? #mastodonmigration #fediverse #mastodoninstance #mastodon

    Sorry about the tags. I'm just listing this thread as #mastodonServer #mastodonInstance #mastodonAdmin because it seems full of useful resources for the novice and intermediate server wrangler.

  14. Move away from Twitter / X

  15. Why deal with so much Social Media?

    Instead, you could use one platform that connects to multiple. Why not use the Fediverse? Why not join a Mastodon Instance like Southampton.Social?

  16. Does anyone know about any type of philosophy or literature focused mastodon instance?
    Those two are the things I would like to see daily. If there are none, I'll consider all the hashtags I should follow for this reason.

  18. We are thinking about Mastodon Services, like managing and running a Mastodon Instance for people.

    Do you think this is a good idea?

  20. I have a question about instances. Is there a reason why someone on liner notes.club wouldn’t see my posts on wandering.shop? Are there some instances that don’t “speak” to others? #wanderingshop #instances #mastodonInstance #instance

  22. Hello. I'm back. My mastodon server was down because we did not setuped a job to clean up assets so the disk was full. #mastodonInstance

    I like the way you're thinking. I think users here have a much higher willingness to proactively guard their privacy but conversely a much higher willingness to providing help when the goals are transparent and obviously ethical.

    Just saying.

    Can instances silence a user you follow? So in effect, prevent you from seeing their posts? #mastodon #mastodoninstance

  30. @chrisamaphone well the one's I'd use to let people know about this are:

    #MastodonAdmin
    #MastoAdmin
    #MastodonServer
    #MastodonInstance
    #FediAdmin
    #FediServer
    #FediInstance
    #MastoServer
    #MastoInstance

    I'm assuming that you mean MicroBlogFedi and not solely admins for the Mastodon software, in which case its good to use the right terms to avoid irritating those admins. Could be wrong!

  32. Is there a way to scroll through the most popular posts of an instance in which you are not located?

  33. As another wave of asocial media refugees hits mastodon, make sure to keep the fediverse intact and choose to create an account on smaller servers. This will ensure mastodon stays social. If you're interested or working in #wellness, #mentalhealth and #spirituality our CosmicNation server is a good choice.

    @anildash... I personally pushed for my employer to make a big investment in enabling the fediverse... I'd love for everyone to show that the support is appreciated. On June 28... a (FREE!) hands-on conversation about how the Fastly... support(ed) @Mastodon while the service was under a *massive* DDOS attack.

  36. We're on the Web. So... it feels kinda fig leafy at best.

    I can't build the technical side, but I can and will promote the social side, from which comes the subscription money to make it all happen.

  38. @Bloonface

    Thankyou for the education about shutting a Mastodon server down.

    Seems very resource inefficient that you have to do it that way.

    I regret to inform you you have a typo in your tags. Please allow me to suggest others which may help your search for information.

  40. Okay, anyone be able to shed some like on what these stats mean on our instance #Sidekiq? I mean I get what processed is. But what is failed, busy, retries, scheduled, and dead? Are those figures the number of posts going out from our insurance or into? Or both?

    @mastohost maybe?

  41. It seems there's even some delay on my powerful instance, but only for some minutes or so. I'm deducing this based on the notification flood. Or then the issues are all round, not sure which way. Even #MastodonSocial struggling? #Eurovision causes quite a heavy server load. #MastoAdmin #Servers #Instances #MastodonInstance #SysAdmin

  42. It's time for a little instance update for toot.works:

    - We are up to 16 active users.
    - The top active servers for our part of the fediverse are universeodon.com and mastodon.social.
    - We are using a relay again (relay.infosec.exchange) and it seems to be working out well.
    - After getting listed on joinmastodon.org/servers, we started seeing some people sign up for Toot Works from the mobile app.
    - We are still using @mastohost's Star plan.

  43. Are you new to #Mastodon? Are you a lover of #Tech? Are you looking for a permanent server to call home that you can feel comfortable sharing what you love and enjoy with people you can get along with?

    #AllThingsTech is that place for you! We welcome everyone from all aspects of life who loves Technology. Signup at: allthingstech.social

    Hot takes from a Mastodon user who should know better. Thanks for taking the time to debunk what even I, a non tech person, can spot is obvious bunkum for the reasons you lay out. Good information on server costs and design in there.

    ETA: his point about the admin of Hachyderm resigning? Not due to burn out. Due to principle.

    I fear you have misjudged the conversation somewhat. This person is joining a TTRPG server to geek out about stuff.

    A fellow geek, I'm welcoming them and giving them links to the speed briefing I wish I had.

    We are not server admins. Try cruising #MastodonServer or #MastodonInstance and singing the virtues of forks there. 😀

    Ya gotta persuade the GMs to run games before people can play them. 😀
