You might want to include @protonprivacy@mastodon.social
You've ascended! You're now part of the real world!
I used a straight edge. They aren't lined up.
I have a Mastodon, Friendica, Peertube, and a PieFed instance. I'm an Admin.
Let me make sure I understand. You are asking whether I would care if you were using my server, and you asked a different server Admin to remove your data from their server (and probably ban you on that server)?
If this is what you are asking, I personally wouldn't give it any thought. It's your data. If you don't want it on some other server, then you certainly have that right. I frankly don't think any Admin would have a problem with this. Even the opposite would be fine. If someone asked me to remove their data that came in remotely.
I might even be impressed that you are enforcing and thinking about your rights to privacy and your right to control your own data.
Everyone is answering about wearing a mask, when the poster clearly makes the point that they don't have one. They can't just poof it from the air. The answers are not helpful.
The question is about whether shallow breathing and nose or mouth breathing is better. It's a very particular question. An interesting question.
Does anyone know, with real scientific knowledge, what the answer to this specific question is? Can anyone answer to the specific question?
As one Admin to another, I'm sad to hear that we're losing a good instance. And, I'm sorry that people ruined your fun.
Thanks for all you've done. All the best to you.
You have to use hashtags on Mastodon if you want your messages to be seen because there is no AI to fill timelines. People follow hashtags and search for them. Then you'll get likes and boosts.
And, you control your own timeline by following hashtags, following people, and searching for hashtags. This way, unlike Twitter, your timeline only has posts that you are interested in. Once you get this set up, it's quite nice to only see posts that you like reading, without advertising and without posts meant to enrage you.
Also you can use https://fedi.directory to find great people to follow.
I ignored the thing about kbin.localhost and everything on https://feddit.online is working well, also in my test environment. So, you can probably skip it too.
The "var" folder will not be found in the kbin folder so the chown will not work. What I did, and from other comments that I've read, I think this is what it should have been, "sudo chown 82:82 /var"
Here's my .env file without the secrets.

RE: it seems like the only way to have a reasonable chance of getting decent results for hashtag searches is to be on the biggest server
Well, yes, and no. You can relay with other Mastodon instances and they will share there traffic with you so that people on your instance will have the same content as on their instances PLUS the traffic from all the other instances that are relaying with them as well. So, your server will see a ton of stuff. No shortage of stuff coming in
There's a number of good relays. I recommend these two at a minimum:
https://relay.infosec.exchange/inbox
https://bigrelay.social/inbox
In the Administration section, there's a Relay page where you can put these in.
For the first one, @Jerry is the person to contact if it doesn't enable for you. Not sure how many instances relay with him, but it must be a large number.
For the second one, which currently has 328 instances connected together, you can get more information at https://bigrelay.social/
Hope this helps
kbin.social must still be having severe problems. Ernest posted this a day ago:
ernest@kbin.social
We're experiencing massive delays on the queues today. We're actively working on a solution,
and I think we're getting really close. Just wanted to let you know ;)
One thing you might try doing is switching to a different KBIN server. The smaller ones are probably Federating just fine with Lemmy and the other KBIN instances, although everyone will have trouble Federating with kbin.social.
I wonder why Ernest doesn't turn off new sign ups on kbin.social and ask people who want to join KBIN to do so on a different instance so the problems there aren't exasperated?
The cost depends on who you use for hosting. I use Digital Ocean which is a bit more expensive than others, like Hetzner, but Digital Ocean has some additional services that make life a bit easier, so I use it.
I also use Cloudflare for caching and protection, but it's free for hobbyists and small businesses.
There are some small costs for keeping snapshots. Less than a couple of dollars/month.
At Digital Ocean, a 4 vCPU, 8GB server is $48/month. Snapshots might be a couple more dollars a month. I'm currently running KBIN on a server half this size but I will be bumping it up to the $48/month option in the next few days.
Another incidental cost would be domain name registration.
I can't think of anything else you would need to pay for.
I believe in Lemmy, in replies (but not in the original message), including a Fediverse ID sends the reply to that address. So I hope they'll come take a look. Yes, it's officially their account.
I agree with your annoyance. Good luck!
