<p>Good morning Fedi friends!<br><br>Today is a really special day - it marks the one year anniversary of the installation/setup of this <a href="/tags/gotosocial/" rel="tag">#GoToSocial</a> instance 🎂​<br><br>For its first few days I kept the account private, doing tests with <span class="h-card"><a href="https://freiburg.social/@stereo" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>stereo</span></a></span> (my self-hosting support buddy - THANK YOU!)... and I only published its first public post on January 1st 2025.<br><br>I have nothing but great things to say about <span class="h-card"><a href="https://gts.superseriousbusiness.org/@gotosocial" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>gotosocial</span></a></span> – I LOVE everything about it.

<p>we&#x27;ve been expanding some of our existing grafana graphs of <a href="/tags/gotosocial/" rel="tag">#GoToSocial</a> metrics, including the newest metric names, so we can include an importable grafana graph json in the new release, to help people quickly have an overview of what their instance performance looks like</p>

<p>Lads lads lads lads!</p><p>Here&#x27;s the first release candidate for v0.20.0 of <a href="/tags/gotosocial/" rel="tag">#GoToSocial</a>! If you&#x27;re feeling bold, you can try this release candidate and help us find any lingering bugs before we release v0.20.0 proper!</p><p><a href="https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.20.0-rc1" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.20.0-rc1"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">codeberg.org/superseriousbusin</span><span class="invisible">ess/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.20.0-rc1</span></a></p><p>Please read the migration notes carefully for instructions on how to upgrade to this version.</p><p>The migrations in this release are quite long (can take several hours, even!), as we had to rethread the entire statuses table to handle the new way we cache status threads (and to improve timeline performance). Please plan downtime accordingly, and most importantly hang in there and don&#x27;t be tempted to interrupt the migration process!</p><p>Please also pay particular attention to the metrics changes, as we&#x27;ve significantly changed the way that metrics exposure is configured, so you will likely have to adjust your setup if you use GtS Prometheus metrics.

<p>as foretold for many months, now that v0.20.0 of <a href="/tags/gotosocial/" rel="tag">#GoToSocial</a> is released, we have removed our mirror of the code from Github, and removed all our other archived repositories from there as well</p><p>all development has been taking place solely on <span class="h-card"><a href="https://social.anoxinon.de/@Codeberg" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Codeberg</span></a></span> for months now, we just didn&#x27;t want to remove our repo from Github immediately when we switched, since people might have been relying on it; so if you hadn&#x27;t moved whatever mirrors / build systems etc to our codeberg repo yet, you ought to do it</p>

<p>Po wielu dniach przygody z wyborem, instalacją i konfiguracjęlą fedi serwera GoToSocial, myślę że to już będzie to. Próbowałom Friendici ale jednak topornie się tego używało, po długim czasie mastodonowania. Swoje kolektywy przerzucę tylko na swojego Mobilizona, bo i eventy tam są i standardowe wpisy (ogłoszenia grup). Może uda się dla niego wydzielić ścieżkę fedi.nemo.earth/groups zamiast używać kolejnej subdomeny.<br><br>Pierwotnie byłom na pol.socialu, ale zaczęły mi przeszkadzać częste przerwy w działaniu.

<p>Anyone have experience using <a href="/tags/snac2/" rel="tag">#Snac2</a> for a small activitypub instance? Currently I use <a href="/tags/gotosocial/" rel="tag">#gotosocial</a> which is great but I&#x27;m curious about other options.

<p>I&#x27;ve seen the raw HTML for some <a href="/tags/piefed/" rel="tag">#piefed</a> post content showing in the spoilerText field on some platforms via the mastodon api, including <a href="/tags/gotosocial/" rel="tag">#gotosocial</a>, <a href="/tags/neodb/" rel="tag">#neodb</a> (takahe/incarnator) and I think <a href="/tags/pleroma/" rel="tag">#pleroma</a>. My current kludge is to check the spoilerText for html tags (specifically, a beginning &lt;p&gt;).</p>

<p>according to this as of December 2025 there were 1,632 <a href="/tags/gotosocial/" rel="tag">#GoToSocial</a> instances on the Fediverse, up 400 instances from the same time the year before:</p><p><a href="https://prattohome.com/@ottoto2017/115869882336719794" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="prattohome.com/@ottoto2017/115869882336719794"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">prattohome.com/@ottoto2017/115</span><span class="invisible">869882336719794</span></a></p><p>and I keep telling people the sloth is stinky software that shouldn&#x27;t be used <img src="https://neodb.social/media/emoji/superseriousbusiness.org/smh.gif" class="emoji" alt=":smh:" title=":smh:"></p>
