@neil

I'm very happy with the control over the permissions I may (or may not) grant to reply me that #GoToSocial provides.

Your ActivityPub supporting software can't do this?

Any feature request for #Mastodon are best placed here:

Hi, I have a new instance of #GoToSocial and I've been looking for answers on the docs, rereading the config file comments, and looking at the issues on the old GitHub repo and the current Codeberg repo. But no success finding answers for the past week.

I can't see any posts when trying to follow hashtags, also the user search doesn't work in most cases. Can you point me to any docs or extra info on possible causes for these issues?

Thanks a lot 🙋

@vicgrinberg Therefore I prefer #GoToSocial over Mastodon:

It feels a little ironic to be posting this on the very platform that it’s talking about.

Thanks to @_elena
for the effort and time taken to put this together.

Share. Share. Share.

And before anyone says “this is YouTube” - of course, the reach needs to be as far and wide; and like it or not, YouTube is far and wide!

@rlounsbury yay! let me know how it goes! (email is something I haven't dared do... yet) 😅

but thanks to YunoHost I am now self-hosting , , , , and ❤️

Managed to clean up and import most of my old pixelfed posts to Gotosocial, but the ones remaining have more than 6 photos, so I'll have a look at the GTS config.

I want to do the same for all mastodon errors, and the only posts that remain will be replies.

Perhaps someday these can be imported using Slurp as well.

digging #gotosocial. been running it off and on for some time. sure, it doesn't have a standard ui, but it doesn't need to with thing out there like elk.zone and semaphore (while it's still up).

My GoToSocial instance has been running for almost 2 months now, and it’s been a great mini-project.

It took some time to gain traction, but now there are over 5300 instances in its sights, and more everyday.

Which means it’s easier for me to find and follow more people.

Certainly, it’s harder than just joining an established instance; and with only 64 followers (at the time of writing), my reach is limited.
However, this should start to grow more organically as I follow more etc etc.

Self-hosting has been interesting for me to undertake.

I’m not a “techie”, so launching into the world of VPS, and Yunohost (which is the service I use to install apps such as GoToSocial) has been a real learning experience.

I'm thinking of moving Rusted Neuron (my tiny-almost-one-person-except-for-a-couple-of-friends-who-barely-use-it #Mastodon instance) to #GotoSocial.

I'd appreciate input from anyone who's done the migration and knows what the pitfalls are or who are experts on GotoSocial.

Things I'm particularly concerned about:

* I know I must use a different URL because of the way #ActivityPub works, but can it be the same TLD?

* Do standard copy backups fail on the SQLite files? (File locking?)

#Fedihelp

Thinking about firing up a #VPS to run my own software (wiki, #gotosocial, ???). I want something cheap and lightweight, so I'll probably just manage the server myself. It's been like 10 years since I've done this. Before, I've just run Ubuntu Server, which worked well at the time. I think I used #supervisord to manage services, IIRC, with #nginx as the public gateway w/ manual routing configs. Not sure what is best for this type of hosting now. I want to avoid docker images for efficiency sake.

To be clear, #Anthropic #Claude posted that as a test. I'm prototyping an #MCP server for #gotosocial API. Will open source it when it's polished and stable. I mostly want this for READ purposes for some cognitive accessibility concepts I'm experimenting with.

How does markdown actually work on the Fediverse?

It doesn’t seem like the client is parsing and uploading html to the server as I can edit the markdown later.

It doesn’t seem like the user’s server is handling rendering because syntax support seems to be inconsistent from client to client.

Which leads me to think that the markdown is actually federated out. Is that true? Can anyone set me straight?

I think it's time to shut down my #GoToSocial instance. I tend to hang out on this Mastodon server, and it's very well run.

But more than that, I really should end my time using free Oracle servers for reasons you can imagine. It's been a good run, you could say, but I shouldn't let "free" cloud my being uncomfortable with a corporation like Oracle.

Dunque:

  • 848 MB di storage già usato ( :aaaa: :badabing: quanto pesa federarsi accidenti)
  • il discorso client è un po' complicato per certe cose, phanpy è probabilmente sempre il migliore ma per gestire il profilo sento la mancanza di quello di Mastodon, tocca ammetterlo
  • temo che da queste parti gli hashtag diano qualche problema, perché non escono dalla mia locale (mi dispiace un sacco, però c'è da dire che sono così poco utilizzati che alla fine è il male minore)

(ah sui client: per fortuna che su Android c'è Moshidon che invece è meraviglioso)

Xab hai rotto con tutti questi account

Lo so, lo so, perdonatemi!

Per ora qui sto giusto sperimentando, l'account principale al momento resta @Xabacadabra e qui sto prendendo le misure per un eventuale futuro:

Intanto, mi sconvolge poter scrivere quanto voglio senza dover spezzare in mille post un thread (anche se a parte questo post mi terrò sempre sui soliti 500 caratteri con un post nel blog per cose più lunghe)

Poi trovo bello mantenere il discorso Mastodon senza usare Mastodon (software che da tempo mi pare problematico per l'accentramento che occupa nel fediverso e la vecchia questione threads )

L'altro aspetto interessante è che sto scoprendo di più riguardo il protocollo #activityPub che tiene in piedi tutta la baracca :coolcat:
