Hi everyone! We just made another security + bugfix release for

https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.13.3

If you're running on v0.13.2 or below, you should update to this release as soon as you have the time. There are no database migrations or frontend file changes, so this should be fairly easy!

Similar to the v0.13.2 release, this one closes a couple gaps with regard to ensuring that remote accounts and statuses can't be imitated.

It also fixes a couple different bugs with regard to your instance trying to dereference accounts who've blocked you, or whose instances have blocked you, leading to less weird-looking behavior from the user's side :)

Oh, and as a nice side effect of the above changes, federation with Bookwyrm should work a bit better now too! 📖 🪱

If you're running on a main snapshot build, you should update to the latest code on main by either refreshing the Docker snapshot tag, or taking the latest binary snapshot bundle.

Now with that out of the way we can get on with working on features for 0.14.0 :P

Thanks for reading! Have a good Thursday! :under_construction:

Right, before I dig in too far, can anyone comment to the stability of these days, as well as how well it's kept up with compatibility with the Mastodon API? Also, person number 389 here saying that it would be great to have a spreadsheet of all of the various fediverse software and how they're different from one another.

@tristan Been running it on a test instance for half a year or so. Maintenance is very easy. Mastodon compat is good and improving. If you don't need any bells and whistles it's definitely the way to go. Runs just fine on the smallest hetzner vm for very low cost. With all the weird stuff surrounding all of the misskey forks it'd probably be where I'd go if I wanted to get away. It doesn't have any clients or even a web interface so mastodon client compatibility is pretty important.

This is a public service announcement.

I'm now running a test instance of as my new self hosted Fedihome.
I'd appreciate if my followers could just follow @mike as well as this account. That way I can ease the transition and hopefully avoid too much disruption.

We now return you to your normal programming.

We're well on the way to 0.14.0 release candidate 1!

Based on the sheer amount of fixes and improvements included, 0.14.0 will probably be the biggest release we've done so far :gtspat:

It will also (probably, unless something goes wrong) be the first GoToSocial release to include support for the Move activity, which will let you migrate an existing account to or from a GoToSocial instance, while keeping your followers and following relationships intact :) We waited a long time to write this functionality because we wanted to make sure GoToSocial was in a decent state before people start migrating accounts to it.

So, very exciting! If all goes well, expect more news on the first release candidate in a couple weeks (we're still fixing some bugs, as always).

@mikesixgolf hey, this is a great chart. Did you create the infograph, or is it hosted somewhere else?

Hat hier schon mal die Kommunikation zwischen und getestet?
Ich habe hier von Gotosocial Nutzern die Info erhalten, das er/sie mein Profil bzw. mein Profilbild nicht angezeigt bekommt.
Wenn er dann aber mit oder einen Kontakt hat - dann wäre das gar kein Problem.
Da ich das jetzt nicht nachvollziehen kann in Ermangelung einer Gotosocial Instanz

Ist hier etwas bekannt?

zwovierzwo,

@noidea
nein - ich habe das nur von jemanden als Info erhalten - dazu müßte ich dann wohl mal selbst eine Instanz "hochziehen"

Feditext beta users: today's version 1.7.2 (build 83) fixes reporting posts when using a GotoSocial server, adds support for instance rules on GtS 0.12 and up, and fixes a rare visual bug with reporting on all platforms. this build is recommended for GtS users; if you use something else, you don't need to upgrade immediately.

thanks to tobi from I can finally see profile pictures for a lot of users on my feed... i'm so happy! It was my fault they broke in the first place

(I know you scan that hashtag sometimes so thanks again!!)

SrRochardBunson,

@knova 😎

What are you running the on? I'm trying to decide which of these SBC's just collectind dust would do it.

interesting, still having trouble following accounts from

Ex: @noname

Wondering if embedding it in a post first changes anything

The newest version of Current contains additional checks for server capabilities.

So if your account is on a server you won't be repeatedly warned about filter errors, the filter functionality is disabled (https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/issues/1472).

This paves the way for per-server feature support (e.g., emoji reactions, finer-grained post ACLs) in the future.

Thanks to everyone who provided feedback on https://github.com/pachli/pachli-android/issues/343

Homelab TODO:
Look into building GoToSocial image with SPM certs instead of mounting from host.

Something like this from the renovate image.

Running the latest GoToSocial instance in rootless podman for a few days now.

So far, I am mostly pleased. There is a lot missing features (it's still alpha, after all), there was one hiccup even - for an hour, it was not syncing anything from fedi and I still didn't find any reason why, had to restart it - let's see if it happens again), but it's really lighweight, updates are quick and easy (I help to manage a mastodon instance and update process is hellish in comparison) and the community around it is also working very fast to get it to beta. Definitely worth supporting.

I also like the default of 5000 characters 😄

@kayla @gotosocial How does it work in terms of loading e.g. comments of posts? That's my concern of running a single-user instance and especially non-Mastodon instance. That I would miss a lot of context posts that I would otherwise see on a large instance because the larger instance caches a lot of posts that are "flying" around.

It doesn't matter if you are new to the or if you have been here forever, it's always good to keep in mind that (a) what server you pick, and (b) what software that server runs, matter.

I should admit am fairly new at this. I created my first fediverse account only a year ago. It was a server with about 8,000 users. And while it "worked" there was something missing from the experience.

While researching the idea of hosting my own server, I discovered which in turn led to discovering . It's hard to describe how much better the experience is with IceShrimp.

The is just so much better, and the feature set way more robust. The way it handles replies, the ability to quote, to use multiple emojis, etc.

If you have friends or family thinking about joining the Fediverse or are feeling unimpressed with your mastodon experience, I highly recommend getting an account running IceShrimp or other similar software.

Probably also worth mentioning that I also looked at using a integration and and . I found them to be clunky; reminding me of how email was in the early 90s.

If the fediverse is going to thrive, then it needs to make a good first impression. Moving beyond mastodon is a good step in the right direction.
