@adele now also tested with snac, fwiw ;-) nice work!

@joel whaaaaaat?!? that's amazing to hear!!! 💗​

happy souls "i've got boss weapons" voice: We've got #GoToSocial BUGFIX RELEAAAASEhttps://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.21.2Bugfixes and little chores! Check the commits at the link for specifics.Note that we bumped the Go version number to v1.25 for this release. Normally we wouldn't do this in a bugfix release, but a dependency update (including a bugfix) depended on it, so here we are. Practically speaking you probably won't notice a difference, but it's worth mentioning.If you're updating to this version from v0.21.x, it's a very easy update with no db migrations.If you're updating to this version from a version before v0.21.0, please follow the update instructions from v0.21.0, but replace 0.21.0 with 0.21.2 throughout. Be aware that the update to 0.21.x contains some database migrations. Please do read the notes carefully!

I can confirm that #Tuba is an excellent #Fediverse client for Linux and BSD users on #snac2. It's also great for Mastodon, #GoToSocial, etc.

@bryan@dusty.ninja it’s based on https://github.com/mastodon/webpush-apn-relay but I’ve patched it for proper GoToSocial notifications support.It will depend on how many push notifications it will have to handle. But being stateless, I can always fire up another one and round robin them at DNS level.

@hikingdude ooooooh got it! 😮​

@_elena I was experimenting with hosting GTS on an old smartphone. If this works, I can the local kids how to do it with the e-waste at home.

MastoBlaster is now available in public testing on TestFlight.It is a lightweight, privacy-first Fediverse client for iOS, built around a simple idea: fast, small, predictable behavior, and first-class support for snac.What makes it different:• snac-first by design, not "compatible by accident"• Works with all Mastodon API compatible software, including Mastodon, snac, GoToSocial, Akkoma, and others• EXIF stripping on upload (HDR and orientation preserved)• Optional on-device alt text generation via Apple Intelligence for your uploads and for images in your timeline• Markdown posting for snac• Granular notifications, grouping, multi-account• Blocking and moderation tools• Very small footprint, very low RAM usageAlt text generation happens entirely on device via Apple APIs on supported hardware. Nothing is sent to external services.It is built around my own workflow and priorities. It may not be for everyone, and that is perfectly fine.Important note:MastoBlaster will always be free for BSD Cafe users, illumos Cafe users, and for anyone connecting to a snac instance, including self-hosted ones.The app is already usable, but this is still a test phase. I am looking for feedback, bug reports, and real-world usage insights.TestFlight link:https://testflight.apple.com/join/Pkxa5R1kStay tuned.#MastoBlaster #iOS #Apple #Fediverse #Mastodon #snac #GoToSocial #Akkoma #ActivityPub

@joel @mastoblaster I think I fixed it. Both notification relay side and app side. I'll publish an updated beta (with other fixes, too) later today.

@silverpill @rayslava @mitra sure, I will. Thank you. I’m not having much time to work on MastoBlaster but I’ll try over the weekend

Hello nerds!We've just created the first release candidate version of #GoToSocial v0.21.0 Sacrilegious Sloth!https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.21.0-rc1Adventurous admins can try updating to this release candidate, and let us know if there's any new and interesting bugs to be found.We're really proud of this one, the sloth is starting to feel really useable and good!Please read the migration notes carefully for instructions on how to upgrade to this version. Bear in mind there are a few big-ish database migrations in this one, which may take somewhere between a minute or 20+ minutes to run (depending on your hardware). Be patient, backup your database first, and don't interrupt the migrations.Release highlightsDomain Limits: You can now create domain limits in the admin section of the settings panel, in order to do things like limit + mute all accounts on a domain (except ones you follow), add content warnings to posts from limited domains, mark media as sensitive (or don't download it at all).Documented here: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/admin/domain_limits/Indexable support: You can now mark your account as "indexable" by full-text search, in the settings panel. This will federate your preference to other servers, so that servers with full-text search functionality can include your posts in search results.Documented here: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/user_guide/settings/#mark-accounts-posts-as-full-text-indexableShow reblogs on the web view of your profile (opt-in): A new setting in the settings panel allows you to opt-in to showing posts that you've boosted/reblogged on the web view of your profile. The default setting retains existing behavior (don't show boosts on the web view).Documented here: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/user_guide/settings/#include-boosts-on-the-web-view-of-your-profileBetter caching behavior for timelines. The number of database calls when browsing local + public timelines and lists should be significantly reduced.Store + show reason for undownloaded media: When media fails to be downloaded from a remote instance, the reason why will be shown next to the post.Include canQuote property on outgoing posts: Currently, this is always set to author-only, but it paves the way (and signals intent) for GtS to implement quote toots at some point.Much improved OpenGraph previews: Whitespace is now preserved in OpenGraph previews, and media + formatting was rejigged, so linking to GoToSocial posts should result in much better OpenGraph-generated preview cards.Expand/collapse all spoilers button on web view of threads: when viewing threads in the web view, you can now expand/collapse all spoilers at the click of a button.S3 Object Info Caching: you can now configure cache.s3-object-info in order to mitigate expensive S3 info calls when doing nightly media cleanup.Preserve significant whitespaces in incoming + outgoing posts: previously we were squashing a lot of whitespace together, which meant that, for example, indentation could get lost on posts federated into a GoToSocial instance. This is now fixed, so you can post poetry and whatnot without worrying about it looking like hot crap.Millions of fucking bugfixes: we squashed a lot of them!

So out of interest how long do you both keep your posts for ? At the moment mine are indefinate.CC: @passthejoe@snac.bsd.cafe

Just an #AskFedi session. I currently installed my GoToSocial instance on VPS and now I'm conflicted about how to organize the project better. GoToSocial is needed to interact with Fediverse users, as the other platforms miss some activities. ⁃ WriteFreely: very good, minimal to write, but it has no space for search or comments. It's OK just for the stories.⁃ WordPress: it has federation through plugin, comments appearing on the site, but not yet usable as a fediverse actor for common interaction, with an ordinary client. Icecubes, Mona, Phanpy, Enafore, Tweesecake, Elk, etc. And "enable mastodon apps" is still buggy.⁃ As I have contents both in Italian and English, I currently have to choose: do I federate the English and Italian WordPress sites where real world and long-form fictions are published, and have just an unified project's instance on GoToSocial where I personally talk (me and my other co-worker) both in Italian and English? I honestly am very conflicted. #activitypub #gotosocial #WordPress

@matzElk ha un problema che secondo me è abbastanza grosso: se lo vuoi installare te lo fanno scaricare direttamente come pacchetto per docker. Ora, ok, vabbeh, uno si arrangia credo, scarica i sorgenti e compila, ma per principio preferisco venga specificata una scelta, fosse anche due righe che dicono "teh, se non vuoi docker questi sono i sorgenti, git clone, make, make install"@perry @steko

@Sascha thank you Sascha. I used to be stuff like that on my other VPS - which had a Ghost-CLI installation. With YunoHost I don't dare go in the backend to touch anything, lest I disrupt something. I have too many important apps in that installation. I'm not incurring in any extra costs... it's just that a social networking app caches media, avatars and emojis of everyone I follow. I found an old backup from December 2024 when I was only following one account and it was 256 MB! Pruning the list of people I follow - it overlaps with my Mastodon account - may be the way to go 😅​

Looking for testers for a new Mastodon TUI.tooi is a re-implementation of the TUI included with toot, using a more modern framework which is easier to work with. It supports most features `toot tui` does, and some new ones too.tooi is set to replace `toot tui` which has proven to be troublesome to support and extend.https://codeberg.org/ihabunek/tooi#toot #mastodon #pleroma #gotosocial #tui #terminal

@aerion 🥰🙌🥳 thanks for sharing. Self-hosting is really the best@_elena @snikket_im

I've been experimenting with lightweight activitypub tools like gotosocial and snac2.So far snac2 works, but seems incompatible with basically every frontend I've tried.gotosocial is more compatible, but crashes randomly and won't stay online for 24hrs at a time.What am I doing wrong here?Anyone have any tips?#ActivityPub #Fediverse #gotosocial #snac2

@stefano Thank you for the encouraging words, Stefano. Have a wonderful Holiday Season!

@silhouette @stereo @gotosocial congrats as well! 🥳​
