@luka I love this cozy little corner of the internet! Looking forward to reading the blog post
@luka thank you for making this corner of the internet real
@luka Thank you! My only social media (ever), it’s here <3 I was just reading your blog post. I haven’t been following instance-insides the past two years and didn’t notice that some ppl left :/ I’m sorry to hear that. It’s also helpful to read about the differences between Mastodon and GoToSocial. You can’t just “migrate” a whole instance from one to the other, right?

@jine well, instance-insides were not really visible publicly. in fact we're pretty much drama-free, but from time to time something happens.

no, unfortunately, the whole instance itself cannot be migrated from one software to another just like that.

it would be possible however to migrate to one of mastodon's forks (glitch or hometown), but it's far from trivial and it would mean our own sysadmin work further on (which i'm avoiding by asking masto.host to host us)

@jine here are the two forks i'm mentioning:

Mastodon Glitch Edition
https://glitch-soc.github.io/docs/
(maintained by ClearlyClaire, who works for Mastodon now for few years)

Hometown
https://github.com/hometown-fork/hometown/blob/hometown-dev/README.md

they both support local-only posts. max-length for posts are configurable via commandline access, which one gets with self-hosting, so webUI for admin is then unnecessary.

@luka Thank you for your continued work!
@luka Thank you for your dedication to SoNoMu and all you do to keep our haven afloat! Finding (and being accepted into) this instance was instrumental (pun not intended) to me getting into Fedi and sticking with it. ❤️
@luka happy birthday SoNoMu!
