As a fun little experiment, @damon and I worked together to get a #Mastodon instance up and running that stores media on #IPFS! It was an interesting learning experience.
I don’t think we’re ready to announce anything yet, as this was in service of another project in development. But, there’s an increasing number of ways to host content on an IPFS node service, and tie it back to platforms like Mastodon using an S3-compatible API for Object Storage and some proxying.
This is all pretty rudimentary, but the big-brain realization is that a more robust version could be done by pairing Minio to s3x if we wanted to self-host an IPFS node with those specific features.
First toot was a single 'loose' top-level toot, second one above to the #emoji thread, but no emoji showing in #Mastodon at all in both of these. And opening the link to your toot, leads to a login page on NodeBB.
Well. I moved SSDs between two boxes. I kept a HD behind (it only has rsync and backuppc stuff on it). The one that was to be my new Linux work PC, this one, came up fine.
The box with my #mastodon instance and a chat room on it decided it should boot to MacOS. And so it did.
Clover is still installed.
Where is the Linux boot partition?
Was another drive hiding?
I have mysteries to sort through. Meanwhile, my private instance is down.
Not sure if this is a #Mastodon feed issue or client issue, but I really wish there was a way to not display trending links to walled content (NYT etc). Filters don't seem to take these link cards into account either...
I’m hoping this gets to the right folks who can point me to an #AuDHD#neurodivergent and #actuallyautistic friendly #instance on #mastodon ? One that is welcoming and focused if possible on the adult experience as opposed to a parenting group focused on kids.🙏
Le istanze mastodon e lemmy si parlano e si può pubblicare automaticamente il proprio messaggio nel gruppo dedicato
Su https://feddit.it l'istanza lemmy italiana, basta inserire l'indirizzo del gruppo, ad esempio in questo caso mettiamo l'inidirizzo del gruppo fediverso:
TIL: with git redate -c <# OF COMMITS> you can change the commit date/time and messages of commits in your repo. However: make sure you do NOT include the very first commit or the command will fail. So if you have N commits in your repo, make sure that -c is always at least one lower than N.
No matter, how you connect to the Fediverse, be if, for example, Misskey, Sharkey, Ice Shrimp, Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed, Kbin, or by other means, the Fediverse instance you're using cost money. In the real world, web hosting, bandwidth, and storage space cost, money. And the more members who use and join your Fediverse instance (server), the more resources and the most it cost.
I earned by badge, by reaching out to my administrator, and helping them by donating. And while if it was not required to make a donation or regular contribution, I like using the Fediverse. It is ad-free and decentralized, meaning, someone like Elon Musk, cannot change things for everyone, everywhere, solely on their latest mood swing. So I made the choice to help fund my corner of the collective social media network, known as the Fediverse.
Dear #MastodonDevs,
please, give us a short and curt BLOCK PRIVATE MESSAGES FROM PEOPLE YOU DON'T FOLLOW.
when Twitter was Twitter, we could do that and it validated the consent of mutual follows. they are a form of relationship curation, why can't i do that on this platform?
thanks.
PS TO EVERYBODY ELSE: if Mastodon won't do this, which other platform does? Friendica? if am going to have to run my own AP platform, not being able to block DMs is a deal breaker.
When I joined the #fediverse via my own Mastodon instance back in 2018 (and with an identi.ca, status.net, pump.io history going far back), I never thought of it as a Twitter, Facebook etc alternative. I saw it as a new planet. A fresh approach to build a real social network. I still look at it that way. I want to explore new possibilities. Try new things. Escape the gravity well of the "old", centralised networks. Find a better orbit. That is why I block threads.net on my instance. #justsayin

#justsayin I’m so glad that #mastodon.social does not block threads.net. It allows me to see #Biden posts directly. A “real social network” should not exclude parts of society that want in. No one who wants to “explore new possibilities” should shut others out
