Während mir die Idee von "Holos" sehr gut gefällt ("Dein eigener ActivityPub-Server auf deinem Smartphone"), um darüber eine "Single-User-instanz" zu betreiben (ggf. mit eigener Domain), bin ich von der Leistung nicht besonders beeindruckt.

Weder aktualisiert sich die Timeline (ich folge im Moment nur meinem (diesem) Account), so dass ich meine aktuellsten Beiträge nicht sehe, noch reagiert @HolosSocial zeitnah auf Nachfragen - ironischerweise eben auch nicht von meinem Holos-Account.

Meine eigene Domain konnte seit einer Woche nicht verifiziert werden, was so gar keinen Spaß macht, bekomme aber kein Feedback vom Team dazu.

Hi, everybody. I just switched my Mastodon instance from `social.kalvin.my` to `mastodon.kalvin.my`, reinstalled Mastodon because of federation issues and performance with the `threads.net` Fediverse server. I hope this is my last personal single-user Mastodon instance.

aaand I'm out of the #singleuserinstance world. It was fun at the beginning, and it became just toil as my usage of mastodon diminished.

I'm moving back to @g3rv4

Does anyone know a client compatible with #GoToSocial that would allow me to hide boosts from specific instances or users? I am using https://relay.fedi.buzz to get posts from a few instances, and even though it is good, it floods my boost timeline, obscuring boosts from people I actually follow 😔

What are some general advises for self-hosted instances? E.g. how to federate with more instances, how to find people, etc? I know about https://relay.fedi.buzz and I actually use it to follow some hashtags, but maybe there are more advises?

Federation test 2. Anyone see this (again)?

Calling all FediFetcher users who are currently running FediFetcher as a GitHub Action:

Following recent changes by GitHub, and a poll, which showed that only a single respondent actually relies on GitHub Actions without any alternative way of running FediFetcher, GitHub Action support for FediFetcher has been deprecated.

If you are currently running FediFetcher as a GitHub Action, please refer to our new guide on migrating FediFetcher from GitHub Actions:

https://github.com/nanos/FediFetcher/wiki/Migrating-From-GitHub-Actions

You should have until 20th June to perform the migration, but if you don't migrate before then, FediFetcher will likely cease working for you shortly after.

If you have any questions, please free to open an issue on GitHub, or reply to this post.

And if you are that one person who doesn't have an alternative way of running FediFetcher: Please get in touch! I'd love to help you if I can.

Sorry to spam y’all, but if you are using FediFetcher and running it as GitHub Action, I’d really appreciate it if you could vote in this poll:

Following on from this, and the deafening silence from users I'm considering my options. Could users of FediFetcher please respond to this poll so I can gauge how much of a problem this actually is. If you have any other thoughts / comments / questions / details, please reply to this post. Thanks! #FediFetcher [ ] I use FediFetcher, but not with GitHub Actions [ ] I use FediFetcher with GitHub Actions. If GitHub Actions break I’ll find other ways of running it [ ] I use FediFetcher with GitHub Actions. If GitHub Actions break I have no other way of running it. [ ] I don’t use FediFetcher and just wanted to get a participation reward.
