#MastoAdmin wishlist feature

Something that tells me why a post/user appeared on my instance. Is it:

• An account someone follows
• An account that @'d one of my users
• An account/post that was linked to by a post visible for another reason
• An account/post that was searched for
• A post from an account someone follows
• A post that was interacted with by an account that someone follows

Knowing this helps with deciding whether something is spam. The info exists but is hard to find

Appearently, fediblock.lol has been shut-down and I decided to keep fediblock.lol on the blocklist

I already suspended fediblock.lol after the drama happened

Se você administra uma instância ainda rodando Mastodon 4.1, saiba que essa versão perderá o suporte em 10 dias.

Isso significa o fim de correções de segurança, correções de bug e lançamento de novos recursos.

Atualize assim que possível para uma das versões suportadas: Mastodon 4.2 e Mastodon 4.3.

PSA to admins still running on Mastodon 4.1: that branch will reach end of life in 10 days. The time to upgrade to 4.2 or 4.3 is now.

In a couple of days, I'm headed off to #KubeCon #Europe in #London to meet up with the #Kubernetes community get inspired.. and possibly have a few #drinks or #pints in the process! Any other #MastoAdmin going? :-)

Hmm. Mit der neu installierten Instanz Probleme bei mastodon.social. Rest scheint zu funktionieren. #mastoadmin

Bekomme da ein "422Mastodon::PrivateNetworkAddressError" wenn ich Accounts suche.

Ruh roh! #mastoadmin

To follow on from yesterday's post, servers naturally see more of the Fediverse as their members follow accounts on other servers. If this is happening too slowly for you, there are also ways to more quickly increase the amount of accounts and posts your server can see:

You can also see a complete list of scenarios which make servers notice accounts and posts here:

Aos poucos o Mastodon vai adicionando suporte ao FASP (Provedores de Serviços Auxiliares do Fediverso).

Anyone have issues with @Tutanota not receiving email notifications from Mastodon or is it not supported? NOT. EVEN. A. SINGLE. EMAIL.

I wanted to ruled out before my instance admin keep digging any further.

What are people using as an alternative to Elasticsearch in their Mastodon instances? Looking for a way to reduce my bill without sacrificing search.

Hey Merveilles! Welcome to Hometown 1.1.2 + 4.2.17 :D

Just a small update here that's mostly security fixes. See the update here: https://github.com/hometown-fork/hometown/releases/tag/v4.2.17%2Bhometown-1.1.2 #mastoadmin

Important

I have found a scammer on mastodon.social called sagego.ca. He will DM you. Do not fall for this scam

How did I know that this person is a scammer?

I found a video of a scam discord server. Luckly the pfp on the thumbnail somehow matches the user profile

Here is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-iPRlZW5oU&t=304s&pp=ygUbaW52aXRlIHNlcnZlciBkaXNjb3JkIHNjYW0g

I am fediblocking mastodon.holeyfox.co for have bots in there. for some reason, a Nicole spam is on this instance.

I don't know if I should suspend/limit mastodon.holeyfox.co

Important

Nicole "The Fediverse Chick" is creating more accounts on different servers with different names. Please don't fall for this spam... I have tried all the ways to find a way to stop this spam but we all need to block all the accounts that Nicole makes...

So I used atop as baby's first general history vibe check tool of my VPSes (especially the $1/month one that runs my hollo instance).
Since atop apparently has some worrying issue right now, what are alternatives with minimal footprint that let you just get a general vibe check of how the situation on a server has been for the past few hours to days? Stuff like cpu steal, periods of high i/o latency, if an unexpected process has risen to top cpu or ram usage. that kind of stuff.

#mastoadmin #homelab #linux

Looks like the #cleanup #script for my #Mastodon instance never ran after the server move (path wasn't updated).

Just deleted over 100 GB of data and updated the script path!

Are you using BunnyCDN? Here's a small tip that may not do much, but it can do something:

Go to one of your Pull Zones then select Edge Rules. Create a new one called "AI" or whatever you want to name it.

Then:

┌ Action: Block
├ Conditions: Request Header
├ Header name: User-Agent
└ Property:
├ *spider*
├ *ai*
├ *bot*
├ *crawler*
└ *gpt*

Save and check a few days later to see the usage graphs going down.
