For what seems like ages .... (about 6-8 weeks), I did not want to touch anything on my yunohost mastodon app, because the webinterface was broken, but the barebones settings were accessible. And I could still toot via my mobile app.
Finally, the interface is up and running again, but I fear a mastodon-move will be in the works, as I find the yunohost masto version very dodgy and not well maintained.
Any tips on how I can install my own server and keep all data of this version in the new one?
@leonieke and update of the masto image is not working, constantly giving errors.
Could be a provider issue, but for me it happened at 2 different providers
@leonieke@meneer why not do a trial run of #Hubzilla or its successor #Streams ? Available in Yunohost, I believe. Nowhere as complicated to admin, and compatible with many protocols, not just ActivityPub.
Or #Epicyon, which is said to be even less complicated.
@leonieke
I don't know what well-developed means to you, but Hubzilla/Streams are older, more versatile, and more conservatively developed than the Mastodon juggernaut. They have their drawbacks, but are not resource hogs.
A more Mastodonistic but simpler-admin alternative might be #Pleroma ... @meneer
@tetrislife@leonieke I had an instance of hubzilla, but the concept behind it is too far away from microblogging, it's a hybrid social server / internet platform.
The Yunohost community, all volunteers, is probably not mature enough to support a stable environment. I like it a lot, though. I'm considering running mastodon on some iron at home...
