Good morning Fedi friends,
-
@_elena I am a bit confused. Can I follow your gotosocial account with my mastodon account? I dont understand how its not mastodon, but still fediverse. Can you follow mastodon accounts with your gotosocial account?
If I tap on @elena my mastodon app gives an error
-
@_elena This is a very precious post. I'm not the selfhosting kind but this tutorial is tempting...
I may be running ahead but do you know if it's possible to import existing contacts to GoToSocial? (A friend also uses it and is very happy with it.)
@paulk I always say that GoToSocial is the hidden gem of the fediverse
-
@_elena Thanks for the series! I'm on Part 1, and as I try to install GoToSocial on my Pi, your tips on domain configs are *gold*. Any thoughts on handling Certbot SSL certs with my wildcard cert? Also, have you encountered issues with reverse proxies on YunoHost? Happy to trade horror stories!
@pi_tinkerer_101 disclaimer: I use a VPS, so I'm not exposing my home server to the web... and I never used Certbot because YunoHost has a built in SSL cert installation with Let's Encrypt
-
@_elena If you would allow me a small correction/clarification. (Apologies if I'm overstepping) ActivityPub is the protocol that fediverse servers use to communicate. It's like you can use multiple browsers and web servers interchangeably because they all use HTTP/HTTPS.
Or to use an analogy, ActicityPub is a language, and all Fedi services, like GtS, mastodon, pixelfed, etc, etc, etc speak that language between each other.

@_elena Gotcha! YunoHost
makes SSL fun, but when you do roll your own reverse proxy someday, Certbot’s wizardry is worth the trip. Lem Priestley’s https://github.com/letsencrypt/ACME-Client was my salvation 
️ Need debug help? My charcuterie board of Docker logs (and 40 coffee mugs) is open. -

-
@_elena I'm going to find a way to play with it, if only just for the experience.
Your blog posts are valuable for this (bookmark, bookmark, bookmark, folder full of bookmarks!).
@paulk aw thank you Paul! Let me know how it goes... GoToSocial is truly amazing
-
@_elena @elena cool. And you having an admin account probably means there can be other accounts as well right? So you van host family and ftiends?
I am just trying to Asses if I set up gotosocial, what functionality it will and wont have in practice interacting with mastodonten users. Theres little documentation I could find on that. -
Good morning Fedi friends,
I have been feeling a rising anxiety over the state of the open web and the fediverse - after seeing efforts by politicians all over the world (in Europe too!) to introduce age verification laws for social media.
My way of coping?
Teaching people how to self-host their own Fediverse profile (using the superb #GoToSocial) via #YunoHost.

Awesome!

@_elena We live in a strange time.

@matteo @_elena Thanks, I know thuis, but I also know standard protocols like ipsec and email not working together because of implementation errors, version differences, or enduser applications.
My Android app doesnt seem to work with her server for instance
I think its nice, if you write a blog for novices to be clear on what functionality does or does not work by using examples.
Nevertheless its on my bucketlist to try out, probably on a vm in my #homelab
A very lightweight #mastodon server, thats not technally mastodon, seems usefull -
@_elena It's sad that nowhere in this world are there free self-hosting pods for humans that struggle with access to technology.
I wish that universities and libraries had a policy of dedicating server space for VPS instances that could allow such self-hosting to scaffold into more.
I was hopeful for a time that peer to peer and mesh would find one another, but no, people got addicted to their own chemistry hacking (ragebait/doomscroll) and, well, here we are -- uphill battles all around.
@seedsignal @_elena In the early days of the internet (afaik, from reading other blogs. Romania never had this), some ISPs used to include a small hosting space with your internet subscription.
Also, I don't think Neocities / Nekoweb counts as "social media" with those laws. Soo... you know...

Theres little documentation I could find on that.@hanscees yes of course! typically it works best for solo accounts or a small family cluster. The documentation is actually pretty great: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/v0.22.1/

@patricus @_elena I also think a lot of Mastodon instances will say a big FU to any age verification laws and continue to operate like normal, and if governments try to intervene then they'll fight back until it starts to hurt the governments more than the community. Basically akin to a digital riot, where the governments are crippled and cannot continue the effort.

@nanianmichaels @elena @_elena its probably my app on my Android tablet , on my phone it works with tusky

@alexchapman @_elena it can't happen, sadly with what is happening it's gonna be more and more strict soon we'll land in Russia-levels of bullshit.
