@Gargron is the thumbnail obligatory? Because I’m really bad at art/making logos etc.

I’m “just hosting this instance”

@Gargron I submitted a few days ago, still have yet to hear anything back :-/

@gargron I could maybe spin up a fresh instance in something a bit more reliable than my little solo test server later this week but the thought of remembering to moderate and maintain it has me spooked.

@Gargron my instance used to be listed there, but I guess it was delisted?

@Gargron where can potential administrators learn about technical specs?

@Gargron did you look into bringing Twitter spaces and communities to mastodon? The more the feature gap, the harder it becomes to leave Twitter. Entirely or partially.

@Gargron untung aku udah pindah web https yang RTP nya tinggi jadi aman nih saldo,aku share nih webnya https://bit.ly/3O6O1xM

@Gargron
Are there limitations for instances not to use any forked versions, e.g. glitch-soc?

@Gargron I will apply once I got my backups sorted. Currently weekly, but daily will be possible soon.

@Gargron Mail incoming. 😄

@gargron i have no co-admin yet, but @thomas might get this role in the near future – anyway, people are still finding their way to this instance :)

@Gargron I'm working on something that could handle scale -- you saw my little Kubernetes PR -- but the implications of running a big instance are sort of terrifying as you certainly understand. Is there a place that instance admins get together to chat about attracting, training, and supporting new admins for the growth this network/software deserves? I've met some great people in Matrix chats but we aren't focused on the minutiae of community development so much as that of tech implementation

@Gargron hey is there a way to add several instances to our app account? so we can flip between them with ease? (like how on the instagram app you can swap "accounts" very fast)

@Gargron my handle is @Davidwbeothram.mastodon.online. I’m not sure what that means.

@renata

@Gargron Are pleroma and misskey servers eligible?

@Gargron So, I don’t have the time or energy to host a server for other people (outside of my family/friend circle), but I’m wondering: as a simple user, would it better technically if I hosted my own server (with only me on it)?

I’m not asking ideologically speaking, but on a technical level.

Does load actually decrease for each individual instances if users spread out?

@Gargron What does the 'daily backup' entail? My server backs up the database hourly and copies it off-server, but the entire server only backs up weekly (due to the size of data involved). My instance has been running since 2017.

@Gargron Link is giving me a 404 Page Not Found.
