Looks like Mastodon is going to get more users. Thanks Elon!

Also a LOT of interest in Washington DC. Interesting...

The twitter manchild managed to make things even worse than before there. So that's for his "free speech". Glad I migrated here honestly. If I start posting more and more I'm sorry, I tend to speak to much.

@Fourth_Dogma probably the product of deferred execution on some servers coping with abnormal loads due to #twittermigraton

So other #twittermigraton people and #mastodon pros…one strange thing I’ve noticed is my timeline is not chronological. Know there is no algorithm and it seems to be folks on other instances so is this just a growing pain as everyone joins or is there a setting I’m missing?

I am so confused over here. It will take me some time to fully understand. However, I will still have another Tuesday post from [email protected] next week. #TwitterMigraton #Gratitude #Literature #Writing

Twitter is mijn huis, al 11 jaar, en ondanks trollen en gedoe toch een plek met fijne mensen. Ik stap niet over, geloof nog steeds in Twitter, maar het is goed om een mastodon schuilkelder te hebben om al die fijne mensen te blijven ontmoeten. Voeg me alsjeblieft toe als je wilt #twittermigraton

I woke up to @Mastodon v4 this morning thanks to @mastohost, and the first two things I did were:

1. Edit #TwitterMigraton to #TwitterMigration on my pinned post 😂

2. Set the content retention to 7 days to keep my storage from becoming gigantic.

This is a truly lovely update, especially if you run a server.

Introduction

Before we start, do you know what Mastodon is? It’s sort of like email, where you can send an email from gmail.com to a yahoo.com account, except it looks very like Twitter. This pcmag article is a good introduction to it. Jeff Jarvis wrote a good post too, and Time Magazine interviewed Eugen Rochko, the founder of Mastodon that you should read.

This weekend, a probably sizeable chunk of #IrishTwitter migrated to Mastodon. We’re not the only ones. Twitter has been getting more hateful and acting as an echo chamber for lots of horrible people over the years. The sale of Twitter to Elon Musk, the firing of half the staff, his pronouncements of “free speech” all point towards the site being less regulated, less maintained and less moderated. You can’t deal with complaints if there’s nobody there listening to complaints of harassment or hate.

I don’t doubt that many of us will continue to visit and contribute to whatever Twitter becomes. Over the last few years, most of my interactions there have been publicising my blog posts. All I could see on there was angry tweets from different people, or people who were broadcasting their top ten ways of doing X, Y or Z. Hardly any actual conversation.

So, Mastodon. I woke up early on Saturday morning and discovered there was a #TwitterMigraton to Mastodon. I already had an account on mastodon.social but Irish Twitter was moving to mastodon.ie, and that’s where I went too, creating @[email protected].

Judging from what I’ve read elsewhere, all mastodon instances are experiencing a HUGE surge in user registrations as people look for an alternative to the stinking sinking ship that is Twitter.

On Saturday, the admins of mastodon.ie ran into performance difficulties as they dealt with the influx of new users. The site slowed down and people couldn’t upload images. Over 6,000 people are on that instance now.

The admins increased their hosting plan, eventually maxing out at the top tier. To pay for hosting they asked for donations. Right now they have raised over €4100!

How do I add my WordPress blog to Mastodon?

It’s mostly straight forward. Install these two plugins:

1. ActivityPub
2. WebFinger

The installation instructions are unfortunately not great. After you install both plugins, go to your Profile page (Users->Profile) and scroll right to the end. Down there you will find your profile identifier. It will look like @[email protected]. For this blog that is @[email protected], and I have my photoblog at @[email protected]. Search for those on Mastodon and you will find my two blogs. Please feel free to follow!

When a post is made and shared on Mastodon, it allows others to reply. Those replies to the toot on Mastodon will be sent to your WordPress blog as a comment! That blew my mind when I discovered that!

Troubleshooting

I discovered that running the plugins on a multi-site WordPress install will cause problems. Instead of activating it on the root install, you need to activate it on each one. I presume that’s maybe because the rewrite rules are added on plugin activation, but that’s just a guess.

If you have caching you might want to turn it off, or at the very least disable caching in /.well-known/ as that’s where Mastodon and other services will query your server for updated information.

It can take 10 to 15 minutes before a new post is seen. Be patient!

Why not?

There’s one reason you might not want to do this. Your blog will be on a Fediverse instance by itself. Your blog posts will only show if someone is following it, or you boost the toots on Mastodon, or in the Federated feed. They won’t show in the Local Feed of your Mastodon instance. The best way around this is by careful use of relevant hashtags, but please don’t spam them, or you’ll be blocked.

Alternatives

You can hook your WordPress blog to your account too. I haven’t used them, but I saw two people use these plugins. Those posts will appear in the Local Feed of your Mastodon instance, which is a plus for discoverability.

1. Mastodon Autopost
2. Syndication Links

I’m very excited about this. Is it too early to say that there’s enough momentum to sustain a #IrishMastodon community? I hope it succeeds.
