Wouldn't this red button be a blessing when you click a hashtag?

Click it and it brings up options for filtering that is prefilled with the hashtag name

It would help me with my #Parkinsons when I try to filter something. #a11y #MastoDev #MastoAdmin

Edit, I added my two cents on the GitHub issues where people are requesting more hashtag options. Please support it if you have a GitHub account.

have any admins running the glitch-soc or vanilla mastodon main branches enabled the fetch all replies functionality yet? if so, have you noticed any differences or things to be aware of? i'm looking to try and enable it on wetdry.world once the changes for updating statuses when fetching replies are applied

Glad to report that load averages have been staying at normal levels during the semi-finals - everything is running smoothly and in real time. Really happy I optimized and scaled everything over the past few years of events.

Today I was reminded just how gluttonous Mastodon is with disk space and server resources. Chomping through media uploads, activity logs, and search indices at breakneck speed, filling up storage and gobbling RAM.

This is just a thought so please don't shout at me, but what if we handled private mentions on #mastodon in a similar way to protonmail handles stuff. As in we generate the user a GPG key on the server, but they have the passphrase to open it as we don't. Then when a message is sent we check the recipient to see if they pubkey in their profile and encrypt accordingly, prompting for the passphrase in that session. Would this work? #mastoadmin

I'm planning on taking sunny.garden offline briefly later today in order to run some minor maintenance, and apply system upgrades.

The maintenance is in preparation for upcoming Mastodon release 4.4 which will remove support for redis namespaces (see https://github.com/mastodon/redis_namespace_migration for technical details).

If all goes well, this should take less than 15 minutes, starting at approximately:

PDT 23:00 May 12
UTC 06:00 May 13
JST 15:00 May 13

hey -- I thought the new 4.3.8 grouped notifications? is this not the case? #MastoAdmin

I run my Mastodon server at home. I'm happy with this, but now I get a lot of captchas browsing the web.

I think it comes only from having the server load a lot of link previews. My network probably gets flagged as a source of bot traffic.

Do other people have this problem? Did anyone try to do something to mitigate this?

The fine @michael has deployed the #FediAlgo demo app to a place where you can test out the customizable algorithm + filtering system for your home timeline with nothing more than a web browser. You can find it here:

Here's a video of the FediAlgo demo in action (there's a few new features since the video): https://universeodon.com/@cryptadamist/114395249311910522

phpc.social is now running Mastodon 4.3.8. Busy week, hence the slow roll on this upgrade (which was made available on Tuesday).

In other news, we're up above 5100 registered users, though that influx has slowed way down of late.

Did any other Mastodon Admin notice that their emails stopped working after the last update? I don't see anything listed in the issue list. If it still works for you after the latest upgrade, can you please confirm it for me, so I know it's an issue I need to figure out?

I'll try to see what's going on later after, I hope, I fix my Friendica instance which is very ill right now.

Every damn time I click on the federated timeline. I get a barrage of spam and dodgy stuff from Mastodon.social . It's quite clear there is very little in the way of moderation and I hope other instances follow me in limiting the instance.

I've had enough. They send every one to that instance on the apps and all they get is presented with wave after wave of spam and some seriously questionable adult posts. This shouldn't be what mastodon and the fediverse is about. It's certainly not what cupoftea.social is about.

Give your users the social media experience they deserve. They come on COTS to get away from what the rubbish the rest of the net force feeds them. The fact theres no rule on the join mastodon covernent about spam is shocking.

I am not reporting every single account because it is too much. I would be here all day with it.

Be better!

nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com fired off several thousand timeouts in my Sidekiq earlier today doing LinkCrawlWorker.

Happens occasionally and they resolve it. Anyone else getting that today? #MastoAdmin

I've been playing around with @cryptadamist ‘s FediAlgo Demo App, and I think it's really really cool!

Highlight some very interesting posts! I may install it on my server and make it available to myself.

#mastoadmin is there an spamfilter log, somewhere to find

Facts.

@stux is good people and takes care of his server. If you’re on his, help him with some coin.

If you’re on mas.to with me, you can throw some at @trumpet. He’s also good people who runs a clinical instance.

It’s like mutual aid for community!
