Experimenting a bit more with the Fediverse Invitation page based on lessons learned from https://communities.jointhefediverse.net.

Ideally, all the extra information would be included in the server metadata, but until then, maybe server admins interested in using this project can reach out and I can add it manually?

Eg, for mastodon.social: https://invite.jointhefediverse.net/?server=mastodon.social&apps=1,2,3,5

Data: https://github.com/stefanbohacek/fediverse-invite/blob/main/data/communities/mastodon.social.json

Find your fediverse community

A directory of well-maintained fediverse communities.

Addendum: Another possible outcome of this prototype could be opening an FEP to include additional details inside nodeinfo, such as links to annual reports, membership price, etc.

Does this already exist? Would anyone be interested in helping write it?

Let me know!

Found this… From their page, which also has a section on privacy, etc.:
“If your server is providing data to tags.pub, and you don't want your content to be boosted by tags.pub accounts, you can add the #NoTagsPub hashtag to your account bio. (If you've already got a #NoBots or #NoBot hashtag in your account bio, we'll also skip any boosts.)” #FediAdmins #MastoAdmins
https://tags.pub
tags.pub

Now, I'm mainly going by anecdotal evidence of this happening, but it definitely feels like it comes up often enough when people discuss giving up on the fediverse, or not being interested in joining.

And I get the need for a mechanism for deleting potentially illegal content. That makes sense, definitely important.

But maybe it's worth opening a conversation on how to better address this, because "here's a list of followers and follows you lost, good luck" is not a great solution.

Maybe after there's a way to migrate and bring your posting history, if and whenever Mastodon supports that.

Heads-up to fediverse admins, Bluesky is having a bad day, in case you see dormant accounts coming back to life.

Actually, I moved here ( defcon.social ) and I'm trying to fully migrate to this account.

However, @admin ( noc.social ) is being a c*nt, and not letting migrate my contacts to ( defcon.social )

It's been several weeks, of me trying to contact them, but they're just being a b*tch for some reason. 😆

#MastoAdmins , please take note of this Fediverse pitfall.
Maybe defederate noc.social which seems to be acting maliciously towards me?

Hi Mastodon-Admins,

I'm the admin of an instance running on v4.3.21 and would like to upgrade to v4.5.0. In the 4.5.0 release notes I can see the update steps for v4.4.8.

Is there any chance I can update directly from v4.3.21 to v4.4.8 or do I have to sequentially update through all the minor releases v4.4.0-v4.4.8?
