@thekitmalone Hi there. I’m a Hoosier looking for a new server on Mastodon. One of my concerns is federating with other services like Threads. Can you tell me:

1. Does Hoosier.social federate with Threads?

2. Does Hoosier.social have any plans for federating with future proprietary services in the Fediverse (like maybe BlueSky someday)?

3. Do you federate with Mastodon.social? Your “About” page makes me think you might not.

Thanks!

So I’m looking for a new #mastodon instance to migrate to. My criteria are:

1. A biggish general interest site

2. Has a light touch with moderation

3. Federated with Threads and has no plans to reflexively block servers in the future (like BlueSky)

(Unfortunately, someone already snagged my name at mastodon.social.)

Anyone have advice for which Mastodon servers to consider or avoid?

I will soon be moving all my customer WordPress sites from PHP 7.4 to 8.2. (I know. I know. 🙈)

But one of the plugins that another plugin relies on didn’t make the jump to PHP 8. So now this has turned into a database archaeology project, where I’m delving into the depths of the WordPress database with manual SQL queries, trying to see if I can replicate the behavior another way, or if I have to start over from scratch.

Right now, the verdict is still out. 😅
