For a project I’m testing, I need to add auto-follow of an account for new account signups on my #Mastodon instance. I know that was officially dropped a few years ago, but has anyone put together a script to do this by either being triggered when a new user signs up or checking via cron job every so often? I'd be grateful for the code if you have! #MastoAdmin

Bin ich der einzige, der diese pubeurope.com Instanzen verdächtig findet? Die blasen Nachrichtenartikel ins Fediverse wie blöd, die Startseite hat keine Infos zu Sinn und Zweck, zum Admin oder zu sonst irgendwas. Und der Domainbesitzer versteckt sich hinter "Domain Protection Services, Inc.".

:thaenkin:

Habe mich mit den geposteten Artikeln noch nicht inhaltlich auseinandergesetzt, aber irgendwie stinkt das doch.

I'm surprised by this:

mastodon.online/@mastodonmigra

I can see some instances wanting this to be a site-level decision and this is an administrator opt-_in_.

Where I think that breaks is on mastodon.social and other large instances. There also needs to be a per-user countermand for people on instances who have opted-in their instances. So I think I'm overall against it for those reasons.

Either way, given the previous dispute, it should've been better publicised I think. And administrators SUPER NEED TO TELL THEIR USERS if they do this.

Oh yes, and for the record, while I'm opted in to the BlueSky bridge personally and support others who choose to opt in, I will not be opting in this instance as a whole.

MastodonMastodon Migration (@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online)NOTICE: Your account may soon be bridged to #Bluesky whether or not you want it to be. According to @LaurensHof@fediversereport.com's excellent Fediverse Report (https://fediversereport.com/fediverse-report-121/) changes have been made to the Bluesky bridge. "Bridgy Fed, the bridging software that connects ActivityPub with ATProto, has gotten an update where server admins can opt-in to the bridge for their entire server." Thought Bluesky bridge opt-in vs opt-out was settled. Why has this been done without soliciting community input?

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.

Is anyone else using the yakumosaki/glitch-soc container for their instance? Have you stopped getting amd64 builds? Both of my instances failed after my auto-backup (which also pulls the latest container) because the new container builds seem to be coming down in aarch64 rather than dual-builds like they were.

Während ich mir die Performancergebnisse zu meinem metalhead.club CDN angesehen habe, ist mir aufgefallen, dass die Namensauflösung einen beträchtlichen Teil der Ladezeit für internationale User ausgemacht hat.

Woran lag's? An CNAMES!

Wieso CNAMES problematisch sein können, erfahrt ihr in diesem zweiten Blogpost, den ich während meiner Arbeiten am CDN geschrieben habe:

Seit einigen Tagen werden Medien meiner Mastodon-Instanz metalhead.club global verteilt über ein eigenes CDN ausgeliefert. :goose_hacker:

Das verringert die Latenzen für Benutzer aus nicht-EU Ländern und sorgt für weniger Frust bei den Ladezeiten.

Was ein CDN ist, welche Implementierungsmethoden es gibt und wie ich mein kleines CDN umgesetzt habe, erfahrt ihr in meinem neuen Blogpost:

#mastoadmin running glitch-soc or pre-release #mastodon versions, I suggest you pay special attention regarding upgrade to the last 4.4.x which look very promising yet come with a lot of upgrades steps requiring reading the relase note .

Good luck !

OK after testing on a test Mastodon instance I think I am going to probably(90% chance) move to NixOS for my instance(esper.lol).

I do like the setup, centralized file, I can declare all the settings I want in one place and, I can easily move to a new server with this config FAST if need be.

Using social.spiritsandsuch.lol to test my setup, seems great so far. Automated backups, s3 storage, Declared Sidekiq processes, web, streaming, etc.

If I do move it will be on 4.4

When you change longstanding placements of navigational links, esp a social media site, it really can screw up people that rely on #a11y #UI #GUI, like moving Notifications, probably the second most clicked link in #Mastodon from under Home to other placements down on the list.

I hope they reconsider this in the final V4.4.0 release. Keep Notifications in the number two spot.
