Setting up a #mastodon server is really, really hard. You do the slightest thing wrong and all the services start correctly, all looks good until you visit the page and it sits there failing to load. what's even more enfuriating is when the page title is registered and no actual html or anything comes through.
@destructatron there's always Pleroma, it's reasonably easy to set up, and works very well. If you want the latest in accessibility fixes, use the develop branch.
@storm If it has the ability to set a custom character limit and works with Semaphore without much messing around, then I'll definitely give it a look.
@destructatron this reply is coming from semaphore.social. Also, you can change character limit. I have an instance set up on social.stormux.org for people who are interested in seeing accessibility fixes before they get pushed to the stable branch. If you want an account to look around/try it, pm me your email and I'll set you up. It's invite only instance.

@storm Thank you. I've just set my own up, and I appear to have no admin interface or the button isn't accessible. is this because I didn't enable the config being saved in the database? If so how can I do it safely without borking my database up?
@destructatron There should be a link near the top of the page, you can tab to get to it, or navigate by link. It should say "Administration link".
@storm Thanks, before it just logged me out, but flat review clicking fixed it.
@storm Now I can't find settings anywhere. I'm trying to import my followers so I can migrate accounts over and yeah, not seeing it.
