New blog post!
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.
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

Experimenting a bit more with the Fediverse Invitation page based on lessons learned from https://communities.jointhefediverse.net.
Ideally, all the extra information would be included in the server metadata, but until then, maybe server admins interested in using this project can reach out and I can add it manually?
Eg, for mastodon.social: https://invite.jointhefediverse.net/?server=mastodon.social&apps=1,2,3,5

Important question for Sharkey Admins
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?
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!
Boosts would be greatly appreciated, and thanks so much in advance!

I have recently created two tools for promoting your favorite fediverse communities. (And you can even use them together!)
The first one lets you create a customizable invitation page with your favorite apps and starter packs (collections will be supported soon!): https://stefanbohacek.com/project/fediverse-invitation/
And also the Join the Fediverse zine, with the last page allowing you to link to your custom invitation.

Hope you will all find these useful!

Question to #FediAdmins #MastoAdmins:
How would you qualify a Mastodon instance that has 10k accounts but only 63 original posts (not counting replies) in a 24 hour span?
Yes, this is a post about theForkiverse.com ... I'm trying to gauge how active it is, what its future may be...
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 😭
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.
But the lack of activity by its members and admins is a cause for concern, sigh.
I thought this was only me but then this morning I saw this toot by a member of that instance: https://theforkiverse.com/@NotYours/116147206887032255
Thoughts?
Hey, fediverse admins!
Did you know that you can print a customized version of the Join the Fediverse! zine that links to your community?
It's true!

Heads-up to fediverse admins, Bluesky is having a bad day, in case you see dormant accounts coming back to life.
#PSA: Y'all might want to block or defed tags.pub domain, because they're bot-boosting anything with hashtags.
My recent underwear post has a boost for each hashtag on it, and fuck this bot using my AlicePics tag as a username to boost all my nudes.
People can already follow hashtags, we don't need an *opt-out* bot-swarm to make things more "discoverable".
I don't need *every* server to see my nudes. Just the ones who have my actual, human¹ followers on them.
