My recent try raises issues with missing css files. Weird thing is FreeBSD PLIST does not reference them either. And compiling from source does not seem to solve the problem.
I am used to simple things running on Docker (Jellyfin, Nextcloud, etc.) I am looking at running my own personal Mastodon instance (maybe share it with a few friends and family), but I like using Docker. Looking at install guides, the steps required seem to be much harder than just editing docker-compose.yml and running the...
Instead of the full-blown Mastodon, you should also look at #GoToSocial which is compatible and pretty light-weight. (Doesn’t come with a web UI, so you need to use client apps.)
tapi memang benar, kalo hanya sekedar host app seperti #snac2 atau #GotoSocial saja maka pakai VPS spek tinggi dan host di luar negeri itu terlalu berlebihan.
Aye pastikan pakai Vultr dalam 3 bulan ini dengan 1C 1Gb RAM dan 25 Gb SSD ternyata lebih daripada cukup. Pemakaian CPU lebih sering idle daripada kerjanya (baru kerja max kalo dipakai compress data untuk dibackup) dan Mem hanya kepakai 300 - 400 Mb saja dengan 1 load balancer, 3 http server, 2 app fediverse.
Instance juga tak terlalu ramai dengan pemakaian bandwidth sebesar 8Gb saja perbulannya, bahkan SSD tak kunjung penuh meski storage media sudah dilokalkan.
FTR, the US501(c)(3) for #Mastodon was already planned for quite some time, the non-profit status in Germany being revoked doesn't seem to be directly related to that.
"Set up a US non-profit branch (501(c)(3)) with a board of governors to become eligible for larger grants from US-based donors and allow US donors to make their contributions tax-deductible."
@jwildeboer last thing we need is more and more social networks coming under US control. But regardless of what is behind it, it may be very good reasons, Mastodon is not the Fediverse. We have plenty of ActivityPub based clients. I like the idea of #GoToSocial which has no central server instance, so you are encouraged to host it for family and friends, and it can even run off a Pi.
The big central instances do cost a lot to host, and there is no easy way around that. Donations or paid access
Account self-registration / sign-up stuff got merged into #GoToSocial main :) It'll be included in the next release (0.16.0), but snapshot users can already try it out.
The proper release of #GoToSocialv0.15.0 Shagadelic Sloth has emerged blinking into the sun, fresh from the release candidate process :) One of our funkiest releases ever, since it contains some beautiful new themes you can try out (see screenshots).
ini adalah instance yanfg dibuat untuk tujuan uji coba. Siang tadi ane mendapatkan akses VPS dari provider dataideas dengan spesifikasi basic yang ane install #openbsd 7.5 sebagai OSnya.
Tujuan pembuatan VPS ini adalah untuk belajar dan ujicoba openbsd, nantinya jika sukses besar kemungkinan ane akan migrasi dari vultr (#freebsd)) ke VPS ini.
akun utama ane masih pakai #gotosocial di @poes dan ane belum ada rencana untuk pindahan ke instance lain meski sekarang gts sudah support perpindahan akun.
Feditext beta users: GotoSocial announced their first 0.15 prerelease today, which includes filter support contributed by our very own Vyr.
Feditext version 1.7.2 build 101 improves filter UI by hiding the "Drop instead of hide" filter option when using a GtS instance, where it is not yet supported and won't work.
if you aren't using a GtS instance, you don't need to upgrade Feditext today.
man man man ist das Anstrengend mit jemanden aus dem "Mastodon-Netzerk" zu diskutieren, der davon überzeugt ist, das mastodon die besseren Features hat als alle anderen Fediverse Dienste.
Ich frage mich nur, was soll das sein?
Die Software, die die BenutzerInnen am meisten einschränkt, soll also die bessere sein?
#GotoSocial does not list ‘unlisted’ posts on your profile page when loaded in the browser … without authentication.
This may not be new to some of you, but I just realised how big of a deal that is. It means that it kinda operates like local-only posts for randos, in that they aren’t viewable by anyone who isn’t your “friend”.
i’m sure there is more to it than just that, but the brain is foggy today … and … come on … that is huge.
i need to focus on learning #go as soon as i get back… the more time i spend with it, the more i am in-love with it and i wanna help the team… i wanna feel useful.
Which may be a feature as far as most GTS and Snac users are concerned!
But I do want Threads to technically be able to federate with most/all other software that uses #ActivityPub, so it can be user/admin choice whether to accept connections from the giant instance...and more importantly, to cut down on the risks of vendor lock-in and EEE.
And I hope more compatible systems will cut down on the "OK, my software federates with itself and Mastodon, I'm done" problem. In some cases there may be bugs on the smaller project's side, and fixing them might also fix issues talking to other small projects.
If Facebook had an issue tracker for threads, someone could open an issue there. If threads was an open source project, we could look at the code and immediately know what's up, but... 🤷
For folks who don't want to write CSS just to change their profile color schemes and stuff around, we're working on easily-selectable preset themes that you can pick in the settings panel for your account.
Is it that difficult to run Mastodon over Docker?
