#mastodonserver — Public Fediverse posts

When I joined Mastodon and mindly.social in November 2022, a US-based server felt right. But political times have changed, and a non-US-based server seems like a better idea. I used https://mastodon.help/instances to search since it allows me to search on server size (I want a medium-sized server) and character limit (I like mindly.social's current 1500 character limit but their original 500 character limit was too restrictive -- this post is way over that). It also lets you see uptime statistics and other things, though it does not let you search on or even see the server country.

I'm considering ieji.de, though I don't currently follow anyone there and their uptime is slightly under 100%. Their privacy and green energy focuses are particularly appealing. kolektiva.social is interesting, but I can't tell where they're located. aus.social runs an alpha version of Mastodon (which isn't ideal) and mastodon.au only has an 98.14% uptime.

Anyone have any input on those particular servers, or changing servers in general?

planetearth.social has been updated to Mastodon 4.5.0.

This release introduces quote posts with a refreshed composer, improved reply updates in the web interface, an updated emoji set with cleaner rendering, and a new Posting Defaults settings page. Lots of polishing and fixes under the hood as well.

Have fun exploring the new features, and let me know if you spot anything unusual.

🦣 Es braucht eine Smartphone-App von Mastodon, die als Instanz fungiert.
Das Problem ist Carrier Gerade NAT.
IPv6-Adressen könnten an SIM-Karten gebunden sein.

🖥️ Ein uralter iMac Core Duo dient via #Yunohost (#Debian #Bookworm) als #MastodonServer , beherbergt ein #WordPress und eine #NextCloud , administriert mit #Webmin – leider fehlt bisher eine Steuerung des Bildschirms, so dass ca. 10 Zeilen Linux-Start-Meldungen immer sichtbar sind, wodurch sich diese vermutlich einbrennen werden.
Per DualBoot läuft auch ein Debian #BullsEye, mit dem zur Not das primäre System repariert werden kann.

Would love to join a #foss Mastodon instance? Any recommendations?

"I think the key is in its role as a #communityplatform. Every #Mastodonserver is its own #community, with its own norms, settings, standards, and ideals. We should stop calling them instances or servers, and treating them as homogenous nodes in a wider network.
#Mastodon should be the #WordPress of #decentralized #communities.
Each Mastodon-powered community should have its own look and feel—each with its own identity, design, tooling, and norms."

We're now on 4.3.6. Just a small security update and fix.

#mastodonserver #mastodon

Upgraded to 4.3.5. Improvements include better hashtag suggestions, HEIF image fixes, improved moderation UI, and timeline filtering tweaks.

#mastodonserver #mastodon

Over the last few days, I have been working on my own #MastodonServer. It's just for myself to have #DigitalFreedom and Control, but I have to say it’s been a Struggle so far. However, I’ll get there.

🦣 🖥️  Wisst Ihr eigentlich, wie einfach Ihr eine eigene Mastodon-Instanz betreiben könnt?

If you think about changing instances: in the @fedilab app, you can follow any instance, so you can stalk if that's a good instance for you.

"Cook is working on other forms of #decentralization, which could eventually help #thefediverse #scale. He is principal engineer on #Fission at #ProtocolLabs, the creator of #Filecoin and the #IPFS protocol (InterPlanetary File System), 2 popular #crypto projects. Fission says it is building an “edge computing stack” on top of IPFS. I asked Cook what that means, exactly?

“So we are building distributed compute tools…It’s relatively expensive to run a #MastodonServer."

Upgraded the server to the official 4.3.0 release. It's a massive changelog, so check out all the new features and improvements.

The past few days, the server has been struggling, resulting in frequent error messages. A hardware upgrade was urgently needed. Today, the server has 6x more RAM, 6x more CPU power, and 4x more (faster) storage. We're all set for the foreseeable future! 🚀

hmm, plötzlich hab ich lauter koreanische Trends die mir angezeigt werden. In meinem Relay kann ich keine Instanz finden die dafür verantwortlich sein könnte. Strange. #MastodonServer #MastoAdmin
