Mein #PlüschEinhorn @carola1horn hat mich auf die #smallinstance von @ce64 aufmerksam gemacht, und jetzt ich bin verliebt in jeden Aspekt vom #Design. 💛🧡♥️💜💙🩵💚
Und überhaupt neugierig… -
German Version (english below)
Ich habe gerade "GTS-HolMirDas" als Open Source Projekt veröffentlicht.
Ein RSS-basiertes Content-Discovery-Tool für kleinere GoToSocial-Instanzen. Es hilft dabei, die föderierte Timeline zu füllen, ohne auf traditionelle Relays angewiesen zu sein.
Was es macht:
- Verarbeitet RSS-Feeds verschiedener Fediverse-Instanzen
- Docker-Deployment mit simplem .env-Setup
- Sehr ressourcenschonend (kompletter Stack mit GoToSocial + FediFetcher: ~450MB RAM)
- Zeigt detaillierte Statistiken
Inspiriert von Alice's HolMirDas für Misskey (@aliceif), angepasst für GoToSocial mit Docker-Integration.
Repository: https://git.klein.ruhr/matthias/gts-holmirdas
Läuft bei mir produktiv und verarbeitet stündlich Content von 80 RSS-Feeds. Falls jemand sowas braucht - einfach ausprobieren.
Feedback gerne willkommen! 🚀
Just released "GTS-HolMirDas" as an open source project.
RSS-based content discovery tool for smaller GoToSocial instances. Helps populate your federated timeline without relying on traditional relays.
What it does:
- Processes RSS feeds from various Fediverse instances
- Docker deployment with simple .env setup
- Very resource-efficient (complete stack with GoToSocial + FediFetcher: ~450MB RAM)
- Shows detailed statistics
Inspired by Alice's HolMirDas for Misskey (@aliceif), adapted for GoToSocial with Docker integration.
Repository: https://git.klein.ruhr/matthias/gts-holmirdas
Running in production here, processing content from 80 RSS feeds hourly. If anyone needs something like this - just give it a try.
Feedback welcome! 🚀

Hey. This is the captain speaking. This instance didn’t intend to be big like X, but this instance should be just for my hobby. Lol. With no certain future, it might last one minute, or it might not—just keep flowing. This is because, er, this server is hosted on a noob VPS, and also the other one (I subscribe to 2 in total because having only 1 overwhelms my autistic brain). You can always donate to me if you would like to contribute. Thx!

The Apple Event started at 6pm UK time, and our little instance has felt the bump in load of loads of toots incoming!

@jay Three things you can do to enliven your small-numbers instance (we do all of these):
1: Set up a "Librarian" account that follows others of general interest whether you in particular care about them or not. Our librarian follows a lot of news, art, and science, but use it with _particular_ abandon to fill out your Federated feed.
2: Check said Federated feed, have the Librarian follow people boosted and lively.
3: Use the relay functionality to relay hashtags via the hashtag relay server:
https://relay.fedi.buzz/tag/[TagYouCareAbout]
Also check out generalist relays and add some. You might want to have a solid defederation list first to be safe, but we didn't have any real trouble.

CW: Mastodon-meta
Still trying to crack #discovery on #Mastodon. The latest lesson - since I'm on a #SmallInstance (the benefits of which seem to way outweigh the drawbacks), if I search for something like #factorio, I'm only going to get posts I've seen, or written myself.
The key to breaking out of this seems to be to go to one of the "big boy" instances and use the search bar from THERE. Many more results appear when I do that, from what I can see.

How it feels when content discovery is way too one sided 🙃

If you are on a #mastodon #SmallInstance or #SingleUserInstance and have found that hashtag following is not working well because your instance does not see many posts, here is a new #python script you can try:
https://github.com/baldand/MastodonTagFinder
It needs user access tokens with read:follows & read:search rights, and is best run alongside the mastodon server.
Give it a list of bigger servers, and you should then see most public posts with the tags you follow shown in your home feed
