After almost a year on this instance, it only just occurred that #hachyderm is a pun on pachyderm 🤦‍♂️

There are a lot of things I miss about running my own instance for a small group of friends and family members.

This kind of thing is not one of them. I'm very grateful for the hard work of the #Hachyderm team.

I love that #Hachyderm uses IPv6 and TLS 1.3 with PQC (Hybrid MLKEM) key exchange.

Is there a known issue with uploading images?
The past two days, I've been getting the following errors attempting to add an image to my post:

502 Bad Gateway
413 Request Entity Too Large

This happens for new images and for attempting to add an image that had been previous accepted. The image sizes are mostly <2.5MiB Thanks!

Cannot attach images larger than a certain size · Issue #665 · hachyderm/community

I can't seem to attach images I've taken on my phone at full resolution to Hachyderm. I have previously been able to. Full resolution images can be from 1-5 MiB, and I've been able to upload them j...

@sushee time to set up a gotosocial instance? I’ve been considering it for myself, but #hachyderm has been soo reliable and nice.
Wow. I just saw @PCMag quoted a post from "[person name] on #Mastodon" in one of their online articles. Properly quoted, with an image and a link to the post on #Hachyderm. I don't know if this has happened before, but I'm surprised that it is finally happening. Great!

Hello, #hachyderm --

We're slowly rolling out Anubis (https://anubis.techaro.lol/) as a mechanism to reduce the impact of AI/LLM scrapers. Our goal is to have this fully rolled out by the end of the week, barring any unforeseen issues.

As a point of reference: So far, we've rolled it out to our Japan region and about 95% of requests to that region are getting blocked.  

As we roll out, if you think you've been impacted by a change we've applied, please reach out to us at https://github.com/hachyderm/community/issues.

Thanks to @cadey for making such a neat tool!  

Cheers,

The Hachyderm Infra Crew

Hey, #hachyderm --

We totally forgot to publish the availability of the `hachyderm.general` #ansible collection we announced at #fosdem a few weeks ago!

We started by publishing our #postgresql roles that we use to keep the Hachyderm database servers happy and healthy. Included are modules to:

- build postgresql servers in both primary and replica configurations
- configure pgbackrest for full and incremental backups
- publish metrics for consumption by prometheus

Modules are available on Ansible Galaxy at https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/repo/published/hachyderm/general/.

Happy Hachyderming (and Ansible-ing and postgresql-ing)!

Hello, #hachyderm!

This morning we took our first South America CDN node live. Folks in South America will now get routed and cached via that node.

As part of our ongoing resilience plan, we'll look to expand this further throughout 2026 to provide a better experience for folks around the world.  

Happy Hachyderming!
