<p>New blog post!<br><br>My GoToSocial instance has been running for more than a month now, and so I gathered the different bits and pieces of my experience running it, and made them into a blog post. I talk about resources usage, monitoring and backups.<br><br>Also, sharing the link on this fedi account running on the mentioned GTS instance is an experiment in itself, to see how my server will handle the traffic <img src="https://neodb.social/media/emoji/fedi.stfn.pl/ggsun.png" class="emoji" alt=":ggsun:" title=":ggsun:"><br><br><a href="https://stfn.pl/blog/54-administrating-gotosocial-instance/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="stfn.pl/blog/54-administrating-gotosocial-instance/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">stfn.pl/blog/54-administrating</span><span class="invisible">-gotosocial-instance/</span></a><br><br><a href="/tags/gotosocial/" rel="tag">#gotosocial</a> <a href="/tags/fediadmins/" rel="tag">#fediadmins</a> <a href="/tags/blog/" rel="tag">#blog</a></p>

<p>Important question for Sharkey Admins<br><br>Hi all! If you own or administrate a Sharkey instance, then I've got an important question for you. Over the last two weeks, have you experienced any unexpected crashes or restarts accompanied by a log message reading: [core] The process is going to exit with code 0?<br><br>If so, then please reach out! We're investigating a possible bug that none of our development team can reproduce. It would help us greatly if you could answer the poll below, even/especially if you haven't experienced a crash!<br><br>Boosts would be greatly appreciated, and thanks so much in advance! <img src="https://neodb.social/media/emoji/enby.life/neofox_heart_blue" class="emoji" alt=":neofox_heart_blue:" title=":neofox_heart_blue:"><br><br><a href="/tags/sharkey/" rel="tag">#Sharkey</a> <a href="/tags/sharkeyadmins/" rel="tag">#SharkeyAdmins</a> <a href="/tags/sharkeyadmin/" rel="tag">#SharkeyAdmin</a> <a href="/tags/fediadmins/" rel="tag">#FediAdmins</a></p>

<p>Question to <a href="/tags/fediadmins/" rel="tag">#FediAdmins</a> <a href="/tags/mastoadmins/" rel="tag">#MastoAdmins</a>:<br><br>How would you qualify a Mastodon instance that has 10k accounts but only 63 original posts (not counting replies) in a 24 hour span?<br><br>Yes, this is a post about theForkiverse.com ... I'm trying to gauge how active it is, what its future may be...<br><br>One of its admins / mods (Kevin) hasn't posted anything since January 24th and it's disappointing if this turns out to be another high profile example of a hyped up Fediverse instance that quickly fizzles out 😭<br><br>On my end, I've been trying to interact (via my Mastodon account) with people on that instance to make them feel seen and valued.<br><br>But the lack of activity by its members and admins is a cause for concern, sigh.<br><br>I thought this was only me but then this morning I saw this toot by a member of that instance: <a href="https://theforkiverse.com/@NotYours/116147206887032255" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="theforkiverse.com/@NotYours/116147206887032255"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">theforkiverse.com/@NotYours/11</span><span class="invisible">6147206887032255</span></a><br><br>Thoughts?</p>
