Hey guys, you read my troubles with developing an ActivityPub / Mastodon multibot instance yesterday? Well, I got it working in the end and have already migrated four bots and added another two to it.

And here is the code that I open source now:

To those who’ve set up #followRequests: Don’t be surprised if you’re currently receiving lots of requests from accounts that appear empty or look familiar.

There’s a major wave of users #migrating, particularly away from mstdn.ca (hashtag). The admin 🧵 : https://mastodon.online/@[email protected]/116278549283984096
When someone migrates, the request is sent again and it takes a while for the #followers to appear on the new profile. It takes also time that you can see content. https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server/

#Server and #hosting costs are going through the roof for #instance #admins. If you like your instance, and want to see it continue to stick around, please consider #supporting your instance #financially if you're able to. #Fediverse #Sharkey #Pixelfed #Pleroma #Misskey #Iceshrimp #PeerTube #Friendica #Lemmy #WriteFreely

🤣🤣🤣

They create an account on a #server for every single #hashtag in the #fediverse just so they can #boost every single hashtag that is tooted. 🤣🤣🤣

I don't manage an #instance (I ran a #BBS back in the day and that was enough for me) but I have to think this takes up server or processing resources.

Also, apologies to folks reading these toots with a #screenreader. I understand that it pronounces the word "hashtag" every single time a hashtag is used. I will eventually behave.

How do you #Mastodon #instance owners handle losing customization at the server file level after updating to the latest version? I'm currently using custom #sidekiq jobs to do this and keeping a record of what file goes where, and copies of them after the update completes that I've had to edit.

When should I drop registered users?

I’m just wondering what other Peertube instance owners think about users who request accounts and then after several months, never produce anything?

I have a managed hosted instance which means I have a limit with my storage. I can only take on new users if I have enough storage to offer. For example I only have 5 users currently. I plan on taking on more as soon as I can find the $$$ but my problem is that after 2 months two of the users have yet to log in let alone make a video. So my question is, how long should I wait before I tell them that their accounts will be removed for lack of content? I’m not about paying for users who don’t make anything.

So what do you think is a good time to wait? I’m thinking 3 months is more then long enough? What do you think? (Also I’ll be adding this to my TOS so that people know when they register.)

Here's an idea for #Mastodon: if it's so difficult to decide on an #instance for new users, how about a dedicated startup instance where new people are encouraged to create accounts?

👉 all accounts older than 3 months are deleted -> find yourself a home within that period of time

👉 a bot gives tips on finding a proper instance to its users and help with account migration without annoying people who are Fediverse veterans already

👉 the local timeline consists of people in the same situation -> supporting themselves

"incubator.social" is an available domain 😉

Please do it. (I won't.)

I met Mastodon in 2022 and registered in metalhead.club, but as the most servers out there, it didn't let me write more than 666 characters (xD funny, isn't it? 😈 ). So I started looking for an instance that would allow me to write longer and that was aligned with my interests. I found one and migrate: a server specialized in music. But... sadly, my "political" opinions were not welcome due to its content restrictions... That was disappointing. That's why I'm here now, in beige.party, a highly recommended server by several contacts I had in metalhead.club. They were right, so here I am, starting from scratch again. I'm just waiting for the 30 days period Mastodon takes to allow a new migration.

I'm beginning to post exclusively here, so I will post a statement on my other account to let my followers know that they can find me here from now on.

Thank you for having me here! Greetings from Chile, South America.
