Want to contact the admin of a Fediverse instance? Here’s a quick way to find them.

Most servers publish their admin contact details on the /about page of their domain.

For example:
https://mastodon.social/about

There you can usually find the admin’s email address and Fediverse handle.

You can also see the details for our Fedicate Social instance here:
https://social.fedicate.org/about
(Even though it's a Sharkey instance, the page works the same way.)

Looking for some advice from #MastodonAdmins

What setting do you have WEB_CONCURRENCY and MAX_THREADS for your puma (mastodon-web) service?

I’ve set it 50 and 20 respectively for a pool of 1000 web processes, but I’ve been getting constant overloading with tens of thousands of backlogged connections.

Do I need to adjust the mastodon-streaming service settings also? I increased my database connection limit to 1500 to handle the connections plus extras.

Any ideas?

I know my instance has been down for a while. I was too tired to bother fixing it until now.

Help! I’m trying to figure out why I can’t follow @[email protected]

Boosts appreciated! ActivityPub experts please chime in!

That profile has 1.7k followers, the most recent yesterday, apparently – I have the same issue trying to load the only other account on that server.

I can load the profile webpage at https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/@devontechnologies but no matter what I try I cannot follow them.

I’ve tried with accounts from here, bitbang.social, theblower.au and autistics.life.

If I click Follow on the profile webpage then type in any of those server name and click “Take me home” (and log in as needed) I get a "The page you are looking for isn't here.” message

I can’t navigate to their profile within my logged in Masto sessions in Safari and Chrome on my Mac; via Ivory, Safari and Ice Cubes on my iPhone; or via Chrome on Ubuntu.

I’ve tried from two broadband networks and from my cellular network.

I’ve tried posting their username in a post to myself, but if I don’t accept the default replacement option from Mastodon (@mastodon.devontechnologies.com), the profile name is not a clickable link within my logged in sessions when viewing the post.

And if I do accept that substitution, the profile which *does* load has no posts, no followers, no info.

Current Masto versions on the various servers are:

mastodon.devontechnologies.com is on 4.3.7
social.europlus.zone is on 4.4.1 (was 4.3.4 when I started trying yesterday)
theblower.au is on 4.3.8
autistics.life is on 4.4.0
oldbytes.space is glitch-soc (no idea which equivalentt Masto version)
mastodon.decoding.io (server for most recent follow) is on 4.3.2

browser.pub seems happy to look at the profile, but I’m not an ActivityPub expert to figure what’s going on:

https://browser.pub/https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/@devontechnologies

Let me know if you can follow them or not in the attached poll (feel free to unfollow of course if it’s not of ongoing interest to you, but please answer this poll and and let me know in the comments Yes No and your environment (client, Masto [or other Fedi server] version on server, etc.).

Thanks in advance!

Is there an email list, RSS feed, or Mastodon account that can contact me when a new version gets tagged in their Git repository? I don’t remember to log in and do `git pull` and the rest of the steps. I wound up on an alpha version for far longer than I wanted.

I'm working on setting up a #mastodon instance and the most difficult part of it may be setting up a mail server. My last attempt ended in failure so this is basically my kryptonite. My question for #MastodonAdmins is: is it necessary to do that for a single-user instance or can I skate by without one, at least for the short term until I gather up the courage to try a second go at this?

Is anyone else getting many random follows from user123 at gtmastodon.online or mastodon.gtmastodon.online? (The numbers vary.) I'm going to defederate with this instance unless anyone out there knows what they're up to.

Question for all the #mastodonadmins out there - I recently found out that my media s3 storage is sitting at 4.8TB worth of data lmao.

I updated the system settings to purge them after 14 days - about 14 days ago and nothing has been purged yet. How do I force it to purge any media thats older than 14 days?

Anyone running multiple #Fediverse services on one domain, but using [email protected] for identification instead of [email protected] or [email protected]? How do you handle #Webfinger responses in these cases? My current experience is that regardless of service used, the service will always direct users to the first profile in the webfinger response (using pxlfed but getting a users mstdn profile), which sure seems like a #bug to me.

Hey mcr.wtf people. I never know if I should publicly acknowledge donations to the server. Since it doesn't say I will on the donation page, I keep it private.

However, I will say that every donation received is hugely appreciated. It always makes me happy when I get that notification. I've had a pretty shit few weeks so it's even more appreciated right now!

You can be sure that every single penny goes towards hosting the instance.

Warum habe ich einen Trööt in meiner Timeline, der keinen Hashtag beinhaltet, nur Text und n Link, dessen Author ich nicht Folge?

Again, I would like to express my deepest thanks to all those who have shown support and solidarity over this past weekend.

I do want to clear something up with regards to the original post.

https://toot.majorshouse.com/@majorlinux/113330435229430900

I posted this to highlight a situation that #MastodonAdmins and those steering the project like @Gargron and others fail to see.

There is a deeply rooted problem here and being blind to it doesn't make it go away.

ah, the joys of #selfHosting
In the interest of not paying one (1) arm and one (1) leg on my electric bill, I’m consolidating some services to a more power efficient server - including my mastodon instance.

Thankfully, it looks like everything was successfully transferred - and I managed to not screw up my SSL certificates and other settings. Getting some of the scheduled cron tasks set up again, and hoping for smooth sailing from here on out

Well, that was an adventure. Today I learned how to defederate trolls. Is there a good list out there I can import to prevent this?

UPDATE: Just found the #FediNuke list. That’ll be a good start. I see some of today’s miscreants’ domains in there.
