Luckily we don’t own the server, we just rent it :-)

Dankje

Codeberg runs on Forgejo, which you can selfhost. (If you wanna try, let me know, I can create an account for you on https://forgejo.world/). It has (or will have) activitypub (federation).

Friendica is nice, I’d say try it (https://friendica.world/), but host it yourself if you like it. Personally I use Sharkey (https://sharkey.world/) which you can use like Mastodon, but with longer posts, and you can create pages (like this one https://ruud.social/@ruud/pages/postgresql ).

After trying it for a while, I’ve now bought a license. Really cool app.I only have an issue with scaling, but I created an issue in Github for that. Edit: nvm, I just failed in finding the right setting :-)

This looks very nice. A question, we use Teleport, and it does discover all hosts. But when connecting, I need to configure the username for every host separately. Can’t I set a default somewhere?

You should be able to cancel and/or change it:

!whitelistsilver

We have done before, but don’t do that often, so we don’t bother users too much. But we might do again soon, and maybe do a monthly post on the mastodons/sharkeys etc

Sending e-mail to info at lemmy dot world would be the best option. The team will pick that up.

(By the way: 2 EUR per year would be enough if every active user would donate that but they don’t)

For lemmy.world / mastodon.world including some of the smaller instances we host, it’s like 0,06 euro per active user per month. If every active user would pay 2 Euro per year that would be enough to cover hosting costs. If every active user would pay 1 euro per month, I could quit my dayjob and focus on the Fediverse fulltime.

(Sidenote: Stux and I created the non-profit Fedihosting Foundation which owns lemmy.world … but finances are still separate for his and my instances)

Nice

Test

The server is in Finland, actually. I am in The Netherlands, so is the non-profit foundation owning LW.

For me the faster VACUUM would be reason enough to migrate :-) But I think overall it’s best to keep up-to-date and a few minutes downtime is worth it.

I’ll try to install the BookFace UI on friendica.world. Also I’ve started a Friendica manual at https://help.friendica.onl but it needs to get content.

How so?

Thanks, I sent them an e-mail.

It would have been better if they communicated to us first. I don’t disagree that user signups should be spread over instances. We now have a link to https://lemmyverse.net on our signup page so people can check if another instance would fit them better.

I have setup bskysocial.world to test that (there’s no web interface, just select this domain when logging in or signing up via the app or https://bsky.app)

Note: This is for testing only, I can’t promise it will remain running.

(I am @ruud.bskysocial.world)

I think the links and usernames are now OK.
