Seeing the big shiny new fediverse #Update appear, I'm reminded of all the wonderful people working really hard behind the scenes everyday here, from our #ServerAdmins to people who help explain what's happening like @FediTips

If you're able could I suggest you give a little donation to them to say thank you for looking after us please!

Have any other #serveradmins upgraded to 4.3.1 and had link previews break? Not sure if I need to make a change in #nginx or in #mastodon

Specifically, link previews from Mastodon in Telegram

Ah, sad to see another fediverse server shutting down. But appreciate that the admins shared their experience, the good and the bad.

"[...] not the amount of work that goes into running this server [...] difficult to untangle a situation in order to come to a good moderation decision"

"connected to communities that I wasn’t a part of, and learned their struggles and their joys"

#Mastodon #ServerAdmins - do you keep your own fork of Mastodon to apply your config and other changes, and manage merges etc in your fork?

Right now I just git stash and update, then git stash apply. I realize this isn't healthy but want to see what other people do.
