Is there a Mastodon (or equivalent ActivityPub microblog software) instance that blocks both Threads and Bluesky?

Bonus points if it’s a long-standing and stable instance that would be expected to be around for a long time.

#FediMigration #FediQuestion #FediHelp #Fedi

Need some Fediverse help to find a new Friendica instance (or Hubzilla). Mine is shutting down and while yes I could use Fedi Directory, instead I wanna try a FediAdoption type strategy. AI has made it miserable for hosts to keep open reg, but I don't know anyone on the invite code servers, plus I wanna help spread the population around by not just going to the big instances. It's not very decentral if we're all in the same instance. Any instances willing to adopt me? Deets:

What I'm like to host:
- Light data footprint I think. I don't upload images or vid. I don't amass followers. I don't chase engagement nor regurgitate the content mills. I make long form posts but they're *usually* under 5k characters, i think the biggest was maybe 20k tops (Friendica has something like a 200k limit i have never come close to hitting that afaik)
- To my knowledge my instance admin(s) have never had to take moderation action against me.
- I like to welcome new users to the local instance
- Unwilling to assist with moderation tasks. It's too close to my day job, need a space where I'm not responsible for that despite its importance.

What I'm looking for in an instance:
- Allows long form posts
- Mid sized instance population (even a small instance can work too)
- Allows import of the profile data from my old instance (7.4 kb of contacts, 7 kb of profile data, although this will likely shrink as I prune off inactive contacts from the list). Not a deal breaker would just be nice.
- Allows english posting; to a limited degree I can read german and italian but I'm not conversational. However, I still like to read and practice so a non-english instance would be fine for me. Also open to other languages if you don't mind me posting in english.

Other factors that may matter to either of us:
- I'm in a US territory
- You can view my older publicly visible posts, but generally I TEND to talk about: fediverse and fediverse recruitment; social media ramifications; some politics especially where it intersects with technology and entertainment/art/music; solarpunk; foss; home labs; linux; xmpp; matrix; and how much I hate generative AI.

Happy to answer any questions for auditioning for your instance. This instance I'm on shutters at the end of the year, after that I'll likely fall back to federating my wordpress blog as a stop gap until I find a new Friendica home. Thanks for your help!

I thought I had read somewhere that you can save or download or re-post your things after you migrate, anybody know anything about that?

Here's some hashtags because there wasn't room in the above post:

#fedimigration #MastoArt #postlimit #500characterlimit

There's just not room for user tags, hash tags AND a post in only 500 characters.

Did another major event happen that might trigger a #FediMigration?

@FediTips

#FediMigration #MastodonMigration

As the Guide is missing in the initial post of this thread, it'd be a good idea to add it, as many will encounter similar issues.

@beecycling

@adelinej

For newcomers and others looking to switch to modest-sized well moderated instances with open registration, @FediGarden has a listing.

I can also recommend the instance I am on, tenforward.social, although it has a very modest minimum financial contribution commitment requirement for new registrations.

OK. I think I re-followed everyone who was actively posting.

#fedimigration

Maybe I should migrate to a smaller instance. But which one.

And welcome to everyone who's now following my new account 👋

So the back story. About a month ago, I set up my own self-hosted single-user Mastodon* instance using @yunohost and @gotosocial .

I pulled my contacts over from my old Mastodon account at @Vivaldi .

Unfortunately, around 1000+ contacts didn't pull across (I'm guessing simply because the instance was so new).

Anyways, 30 days later, I tried again, and this time it appears to have (mostly) worked 😁

So. Welcome to all the folks I'm now seeing/who are seeing this post from @aj 😁

* Before you type the comment, yes I know GtS isn't Mastodon, but I'm accessing it using the same apps I used for my old Mastodon account to mainly talk to people on Mastodon, so functionally it serves the same purpose.

¡Me voy de vacaciones! 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

Quisiera no subir la experiencia a Instagram sino más a Pixelfed. Tengo una cuenta y no he conseguido que amigos que tienen cuenta en otro servidor me encuentren y sigan. Lo busqué pero no encuentro info.

¿Alguna idea?

in this very moment I'm importing my posts from @cairobraga@queer.party to @cairobraga@gts.cairobraga.com using #slurp by @vyr as a kinda test. yesterday I imported the emojos, which went almost smoothly, despite a few hiccups and some manual solutions I had to make for them to be surpassed.

this post backdating feature inaugurated in the latest @gotosocial release is a big game-change-starter for ActivityPub and Fediverse platforms in general. one can only hope that @Gargron and the #Mastodon dev team finally solve this huge missed feature in their software.

a big thank you to the whole #GoToSocial team, to Vyr specially for being so attentive and lovely in her replies to me. :blobcat_hearthug:

I've had big trouble watching #youtube videos using #freetube / #invidious / #piped these past few weeks, and youtube _is_ fully controlled by an increasingly tech-feudalism / trump-fascism aligned megacorp; so I'm trying to wean myself off that platform.

So! What are your favourite #peertube channels? :blobcat_nwn:
#askfedi #fediMigration

so, fedizens, I need your ideas: I want to migrate permanently from this Mastodon account to my new @gotosocial account at @cairobraga@gts.cairobraga.com, but I would like to at least try to migrate my posts in some way or form.

I can think of boosting posts from this account in the new one, but would those boosts survive if I ever take this instance offline for good?

I can also think of manually and contextually re-posting toots from this account in the new one, but that sounds extremely laborious and might be confusing to my followers.

is there any other way I could go about this that doesn't involve waiting patiently for the day when fediverse platform devs will finally implement an organic and native way of migrating whole accounts, including posts? any suggestions?

I thank you in advance!

the one thing I hate the most about most Fediverse platforms is how it's all "you can migrate your account, you're free, yay" but the ONE thing you can't migrate it's your posts, which is the MAIN thing!!! it amazes me how after all this time Mastodon and the like didn't solve this problem (and it seems like it's not even a priority, at least in the Mastodon camp). :AAAAAA:

it's not like it's impossible, tho, since Hubzilla it's fully capable of it, for example.

ugh, it's just so frustrating. :msn_angry:

It's time to start tagging contact:mastodon and contact:bluesky in OpenStreetMap if we are serious about ditching X and Meta.

Hey new fedi people: Mastodon isn't like those other apps. It's like going for a walk in the woods. First, start with being quiet. Take note of the plant witch in the moss covered hut. Click follow. Observe the gentle troll sleeping in a pile of leaves. Click follow. Say hello to the owl peering down at you from the oak tree. Click follow. Keep following until your feed is a calm forest stream flowing past lichen covered stones. Now you have reached the meadow. Take a nap. #fedimigration

I just had an idea, I'd like to explore with you: We make campaigns with our walled garden friends where there's a list they can sign vouching that "If all the others on this list move to the Fediverse, then I will too". Every time a new person signs it, it can potentially be the small difference that makes another person sign it too, and so on. Each campaign is local to a community and has a deadline: "We move this date". You finish with a celebration. #fedimigration #mastodonmigration #fedi
