#Fediverse #Mastodon #Friendica #Hubzilla #Peertube #fediadmin #fedimod
Currently pondering whether to migrate this account to a self-hosted GoToSocial instance.
My main concern is #safety and I see that GoToSocial supports #blocklists
What blocklists do people usually recommend out there?
Was gibt es denn für #Hosting-Anbieter wo man #RootServer für unter 300 Euro bekommt mit etwa folgenden Specs?
Intel Xeon W-2295
512 GB RAM
2x 12 TB HDD
2x 4 TB SSD
Weil es heißt, das #Fediverse befindet sich fast nur bei #Hetzner will ich mich mal umsehen.
Mastodon admins (especially single-user servers),
Are you using hashtag relays but not seeing posts from those hashtags in your Home timeline? Also, is your Explore page blank?
There's a video by @fedihost which explains these and what to do about them:
🌱 https://video.fedihost.co/w/f3t7ZEiRtXGD8ajArCknh3
TL:DW - For relay tags, you need to also follow the relay hashtags from your account on your server. For Explore being blank, this is due to servers not trusting boost numbers from each other.

Welcome and take a seat you're in for a ride.
As always I'm glad to see funking moron following my account , promising great rewards and huge benefits from a shady unknown entity .
I don't want you on my instances and on the #fediverse in a large sense.
At soon I had opened your bio and saw the "OPT-OUT" link I know what I was in for.
I don't care what services, researches, miracles you offer to provide us. Fuck off. Your purpose should be opt in, not opt out.
So I will add #fediadmin and #mastodmin here and will block you tomorrow.
Don't try to explain, don't try to show me how good for humanity you're , you have a github page if I wanted to get to know you I would have read it.
And just try to tell , you have not purpose without the fedi data. Just try.
Get lost, delete your app, have a nice evening.
If you're running a single user or very small Mastodon server, you might be interested in using Hypebot:
🌱 https://codeberg.org/tante/hypebot
Hypebot is bot software that boosts posts to your server that are trending on whichever other servers you select.
(This needs a bit of tech knowledge to set up.)
Fedi Instance Admins: S3 buckets and CDNs. Public buckets with a CDN are simple enough.
Private buckets with signed urls...I understand how they work. Call the S3 API to grab a signed URL for a specific private asset, the URL lives short term. Anyone with that signed url can access it (?).
But doesn't it negate the function of a CDN? Seems like using signed URLs would be much more costly since you can't cache them for very long.
This is an important announcement for all Sharkey instances running on the development branch: Do not pull in the latest Sharkey version (2025.4.2)!! There is a bug with one of the migration that completely and irreversibly unsets (clears) the bios of every account - both local and remote - on the database.
#Sharkey #SharkeyAdmin #FediAdmin
Running some background cleanup on Growers over the next day or two, may see occasional hiccups, but all is well, no worries.

Just a little reminder to the fedi admins:
One of the most effective ways of curbing spam is keeping your instances small-ish and having approved registrations enabled. Almost all instance software supports this nowadays and it lets you prevent spam before it happens.
basically, Open Signups Bad
Of course this is just one tool in your arsenal, but please use it, it is very effective.
Hey @Gargron the mastodon.social TOS seem inconsistent with item 4 of the Mastodon Covenant.
https://mastodon.social/terms-of-service/
https://joinmastodon.org/covenant
FWIW, this covenant is the reason I've never added my instances to the directory. It's a commitment no one can actually make, they may agree with the sentiment, but in reality it might not be practical for dozens of reasons.
Starting tomorrow or the day after the Mastodon Public User Profile search at https://western.social will exclude users from mastodon.social. This is due to their upcoming Terms Of Service change that forbids use of public user profile data.
Olen nyt 1,5 vuorokautta testannut #iceshrimp -alustan .net -versiota, ja vaikka frontend on raakile, itse systeemi on hyvin toimiva ja nopea. Kaikki perustoiminnot pelaavat hyvin.
Ottakaa uusi instanssini ja tilini @AlderForrest@divergent.1m2lab.engineer seurantaan. Tämä instanssi ajetaan vähitellen alas tämän vuoden loppuun.

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?
If you're running a public Mastodon server but you have additional features not available on vanilla Mastodon, you might want to tell people about them in your server description. (For example some have higher character limits, more poll options, markdown text formatting etc.)
Whatever your server's extras are, they can be a really good "hook" for people who are trying to find a new home on the Fediverse, and it encourages them to read more about your server.
