I just added notes on Hubzilla to https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/making-fediverse-apps-for-everyone/.

Huge thanks to @jupiter_rowland for providing some points!

Anything else I'm missing here, particularly:

  • OAuth scopes
  • sharing via URL
  • embedding posts
  • RSS feeds

Does anyone know if Pleroma/Akkoma support opening a sharing dialog via URL?

Looking at https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma/-/issues/135, I should be able to add a "message" query parameter, but that doesn't seem to work.

I installed via OTP release and i can log in, I'm federated and is mostly working. But I cannot upload media: it fails saying the uploaded file cannot be moved from /tmp to pleroma's media folder. I tried to write in both position with the pleroma user to be sure the user can actually write: it can. Anyone has an hint on what is possibly going wrong?

How? You know you can join more than one server and export/import your follow lists?

There's no reason to be beholden to just one server and when I joined last November almost everyone I followed was on more than one instance.

There are no silos here. You're truly free.

You can be you on servers and no one will bat an eye (except the who think they're on 🙄 and in charge.)

Does anyone know if posts from Pleroma/Akkoma can be embedded?

This closed issue from three years ago suggests this should be possible, but I can't seem to get this to work. Unless this is not typically enabled on instances?

TIL that you can click on timestamps in the notification section to open the full conversation thread in Pleroma UI. 🤯
This is a game changer for me. I won't feel the need for a custom front end anymore. Such a simple thing has been a major pain point all this while.🤣

Am I correct, assuming that @tootapp is dead app? On AppStore no updates for a year and I seems not to find any activity around it anymore.

Which client would be the most versatile to work with and maybe some other services with iOS app and alive?

It almost feels like Mastodon do not want us to self host. There is no direct link on the main webpage to install on server. Digging through the docs, finally found documentation and there is no Docker container or a package for any OS for easy installation. They require us to install from source along with all the dependencies. I don't mean to bad mouth it but they do not do enough to encourage self hosting (if not discourage).

Would like to know your opinions or ideas on how to self host it easily with minimum maintenance (auto upgrades, etc).

Small #wip of what next #Sengi update might bring. 😉

Still lots of work to do, and it's clearly not really fun stuff. But I know some of you will be happy to get it. 🙂

Just upgraded #Pleroma, which I’d been putting off for a while.

I had been using the packaged, “OTP”, version of Pleroma, but it turned out the package is ancient, and it required an older cryptography library. Because I’d upgraded to a newer version of #Ubuntu, the older crypto library had been removed and replaced with a newer version.

I found all this out when I tried to upgrade and got an error, searched for the error text, and found the bug report with a detailed explanation of the problem and solution.

So, I just backed up my instance, removed the OTP version of Pleroma, and re-installed it directly from the source repository.

The whole process took maybe half an hour, and no more than 10 or so commands. Basically:

  1. Stop Pleroma (so it’s not running while trying to backup/update): sudo systemctl stop pleroma.
  2. Backup my instance.
    1. First make a place to store the backup: mkdir -p ~/backup/pleroma. I made it (temporarily!) world-writable to make things easier: chmod 777 ~/backup/pleroma.
    2. Backup the database: sudo -Hu postgres pg_dump -d pleroma --format=custom -f /home/saria/backup/pleroma/pleroma.pgdump.
    3. Backup the configuration: sudo cp /etc/pleroma/config.exs /home/saria/backup/pleroma.
  3. Delete the Pleroma installation (actually, just put it to one side for now, just in case): sudo mv /opt/pleroma /home/saria/backup/pleroma/old-installation and sudo mv /etc/pleroma /home/saria/backup/pleroma/old-configuration.
  4. Adjust stuff that differs between the OTP installation and the source installation.
    1. Update the pleroma user’s home directory: sudo usermod -d /var/lib/pleroma pleroma (Here I got an error that the pleroma user was still running process 758. No problem, just sudo kill 758, then retry.)
    2. Make the “new” locations: sudo mkdir - /opt/pleroma /var/lib/pleroma. (I think /var/lib/pleroma already existed, and was storing images and uploads, which was fine.)
    3. Make the pleroma user the owner of those locations: sudo chown -R pleroma: /opt/pleroma /var/lib/pleroma.
  5. Change to the pleroma direcory: cd /opt/pleroma.
  6. Download pleroma: sudo -Hu pleroma git clone -b stable <a href="https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma" rel="ugc">https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma</a> /opt/pleroma.
  7. Build pleroma.
    1. Get the dependencies: sudo -Hu pleroma mix deps.get.
    2. Run the build: sudo -Hu pleroma MIX_ENV=prod mix pleroma.instance gen.
  8. Configure pleroma.
    1. Copy the generated configuration file: sudo -Hu pleroma mv config/generated_config.exs config/prod.secret.exs.
    2. Edit the configuration file config/prod.secret.exs, copying all the important stuff (passwords, salts, personal settings) from the old file at /home/saria/backup/pleroma/old-configuration/config.exs.
  9. Run the database migration: sudo -Hu pleroma MIX_ENV=prod mix ecto.migrate.
  10. Restart Pleroma: sudo systemctl start pleroma. I discovered (using sudo systemctl status pleroma) that Pleroma would not start. I realised that was because the systemd service file was still trying to start the old, OTP version. So I replaced the service file with the one from the source installation (sudo cp -f /opt/pleroma/installation/pleroma.service /etc/systemd/system/pleroma.service) and tried again. Now I got an error from systemd because the service file had changed, telling me I had to do systemd daemon-reload. So I did sudo systemd daemon-reload, and tried to start Pleroma again. Success! 🦸🏾‍♀️

As you can see, I ran into some hiccups, but the documentation and error messages were clear enough that I was able to fix stuff and move on.

Now, I am no expert on any of this stuff! I know literally nothing about Erlang or Elixir (the languages/tools/whatever that Pleroma is made with). But as you can see, if you take the time to carefully read the documentation, and understand what each step is actually doing, it’s really not that hard! 💪🏾

Really sad that does not have good photo support, I really would love to just swipe through photos sometimes or have a timeline that just contains posts with photos.

There is only that comes close to what I wait for since 2015 to happen in the , but not really close. It seems to be very easy idea, but probably impossible to program or implement. 😔😢

Really sad.
