Finally going to #oslo Norway.
Spent a lot of time in Sweden, Finland and Denmark but never got to #norway

Any suggestions which involve great Cocktails, dark Chocolate, Street Art, Teas or Coffee are very welcomed.

I added a big #Relay to the oslo.town server because I wanted to see what happened.

I feel like the feeds are more "alive" and it brings in a bunch more interactions from people, but the #MastodonAdmin Dashboard tells me the database size grew 20GB over the past 24 hours.

🙉

Expecting to get an "over the limit" warning from @mastohost when their dashboard updates.

Wo bleiben die Universitäten im Fediverse?

warum betreiben Universitäten nicht schon längst eigene Mastodon-Instanzen?

Warum bekommen Studierende nicht mit der Inskription auch einen Mastodon-Handle?

Warum hosten Universitäten Vorlesungsvideos nicht über PeerTube im Fediverse?

Es gibt einiges, das für ein stärkeres Engagement von Universitäten im Fediverse spricht.

Ein Aufruf den man nur unterstützen kann! #boost

If you access oslo.town through the website then you’ll see a few changes. 👀

Thanks to @mastohost, we’re now running Mastodon v4.2.0 🎉

Everyone should check the Settings pages to make sure your account is set up how you’d prefer. ☺️

mastohost, 8 months ago to random

I will be starting the installation of Mastodon v4.2.0 on Masto.host.

This is a large update and I will be doing a slow rollout, meaning that I will release it gradually to batches of servers and monitor how it evolves before continuing.

Expected downtime during upgrade: 1 minute

Changelog: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.2.0

Do you change your opinion more than you change your underwear?

Let’s hope not. But maybe you just don’t want your toots to stick around on your profile forever?

You can set an age limit on your toots in the preferences and they’ll start deleting when they’re old.

We're in #Valg2023 season and representatives from every political party will no doubt be out on the streets trying to grab your attention and win your vote. 🗳️

If you speak to any of them, feel free to twist the conversation and ask whether they are on the #Fediverse and get them to sign up if they aren't already. 😆

You can generate an invite link so they can skip the queue: https://oslo.town/invites 📨
