Recently, I set up #gancio using #docker for my local community. So far, it works perfectly…. But: I have to use a mail proxy for sending emails, that does not require any authentication. Gancio however seems to support smtp only with authentication, requiring the mail proxy to support it. I can’t get it to work using sendmail either…

Does anyone have any tips on how to solve this problem? Did I miss a setting in Gancio?

Thank you very much in advance for your time!

#fediadmin do yall know of a good way of debugging why a GTS instance (fedi.cuties.zip) would be “invisible” to a Mastodon instance? the GTS instance sees the masto instance(s) i have tested, but not the other way around. meanwhile, akkoma, iceshrimp and many others have no problems whatsoever. it may be related to the instance not being reachable on v4 originally, but that should be resolved now. both masto instances report a 404 when queried very explicitly for a user on the GTS instance.

Für fedisocial.de habe ich ja die Idee, dass man sich z.B. per Mastodon registriert (mit Bestaetigung) und dann n8n daher geht und die zum Approval stehende Registrierung nutzt, um den User im LDAP-Backend einzurichten.

Das wuerde aber bedeuten, dass sich alle ueber Mastodon registrieren muessten, um einen Account im LDAP zu haben, auch wenn sie gar kein Mastodon nutzen wollen.

Hat sonst noch jemand eine Idee? Gibt es vielleicht ein Open Source Tool, was Registrierungen macht und den Account dann im LDAP provisionieren kann, z.B. per Script?

The Glitch-soc fork is cool but need some accessibility enhancements.
One of them is a setting to either show remaining character limit or type charactre count on the edit box, or even both.
this enhancement will be particularly helpful for instances that have higher character limit, and people often struggle to do the math to know how much they have typed.
and it'd be nice to have the quote post outside the more dialog.
also, number system to navigate to various sections of mastodon e.g. home, notification, search, profile, etc, will allow for faster switch.
the autocomplete dialog for usernames are quite sluggish to come up and and it's hard to access them with #screenReader.

We need more Blind people using the direct UI of the instance so that we can give constructive feedback to the dev to improve the experience further.

It took only four days for @iftas original advice of "block hf.space entirely" to prove itself!

I was expecting at least a few weeks.
