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.

Ich habe gerade den Account *de*pubeurope.com gesperrt. Das wirkt auf mich wie eine Propagandaplattform, um Fake News zu verbreiten.

So it seems like #misskey 2025.6.2 still can break your current session like 2025.6.1 did.
If you do not want to nuke your client side storage, it seems like all you need to do in the browser inspector is to delete the localStorage entries for locale* things. #fediadmin #misskeyadmin #misskey

Gerade durch Zufall diese interessante PDF bei @chris entdeckt:

So the latest version of #PeerTube recommends locking the peertube user (chsh -s /usr/bin/nologin peertube), but I back up the database by using `su - peertube` then `pg_dump -U peertube Fc peertube_prod > peertube_prod-dump.db` and exporting that .db to a backup location. So how am I supposed to back up my database now if I'm not supposed to access that user account?

I have a question to all #Mastodon #server admins, can anyone give me tips on how to find new domains faster and extend the server reach? I have set several #relays, but the range is now only increasing minimally. #FediAdmin

Many have asked and now you can donate directly, and support the ongoing costs and maintenance for https://nsfw.lgbt!

In fact, we pledge and promise to pay-it-forward and donate 20% of your contributions upstream to the #Sharkey project to help fund and support their development costs since without Sharkey, there would be no #NSFWlgbt!

Are you running a small Mastodon server? Do you want to increase how much of the Fediverse is visible to your server?

Here is a guide to how you can build up connections with the rest of the Fediverse more quickly:

➡️ https://fedi.tips/using-relays-to-quickly-expand-a-servers-view-of-the-fediverse

TL:DR - Follow accounts and groups relevant to your server, subscribe to relevant topic-specific relays, install Hypebot, install FediFetcher.

You don't have to do all of these, but each one helps.
