What's the easiest way to self-host a single-user Mastodon instance? (Also interested in other fediverse platforms that may be easier to host/manage). Thanks!!!

@npub1k08…6xvn @npub18qs…0s8s @npub1xzm…eykm Is this issue more of a Mastodon thing, ActivityPub thing or both? It would be nice to see some "official" chatter on how this can be mitigated/addressed in with future upgrades to either. As usual though the community has had some good dialog on this very subject.

@npub1nvp…agzg You still have the opportunity to “PESOS” the 5+-long post chain into a singular blog post and publish it on your site! No shame on leveraging both POSSE and PESOS in your content strategy.
Also, I really enjoy Mastodon instances that have higher character counts for posts 😄.

@npub1y9z…3ykm It’s GOTTA be technologically feasible for someone to create a paid-subscriber-only RSS endpoint right? We’ve done fancier things as a tech community I’m sure. Newsletter madness has gotta end.

2024-01-02 15:19:20

@npub1y9z…3ykm This needs to be said. I guess the only reason email newsletters even exist is that people are too lazy or unaware of RSS? 👏

@npub1yyx…qa5g I thought controlling its “behavior” was already a defining trait of OpenAI? Can’t u tell it to, “respond to me like a pirate”, or in this case, “respond to me like a racist”. Right?

@npub1psa…xhme Somehow market how many more followers that would give them and how it would improve their readership? I guess it depends on the general motivation for these folks having a Wordpress site to begin with…

@npub19lt…qfjk I go back and edit / add things to my previous posts constantly. To me they are (almost) all living docs rather than point-in-time pieces. If I have a drastic opinion change or new information I may write an entirely new post and reference the old one.

@npub1eu5…3nau @npub1tj5…5ry2 I tried accessing my Nostr account via my Mastodon account and could not get it to work (didn’t spend an overwhelming amount of time admittedly). Is there a simple explanation for how to expose my Nostr account (relay?) to the Fediverse? Thanks!

@npub19lt…qfjk Congrats! I’m doing #NaBloPoMo and only have about 8500 words spread across 14 posts and its half way through the month 😅. Not that 50k is necessarily a goal for me but it would be cool to get there.

@npub199e…pcwa The biggest strength is also *one of* its biggest weaknesses - people/communities. Humans are good at self-organizing and governing, until we’re not. Giving us control over how we run and moderate our communities is a big strength, but human nature causes drama and “Fedi” has plenty of this.

OK, so I finally got around to trying out Stage Manager + External Monitor with my 11in iPad Pro and wow. It’s not *perfect* but it is insanely functional. I could absolutely use this as a 100% “real” computer replacement. Sure, there are some workflows that are impossible on current iPad hardware/software (e.g. running BurpSuite, virtualizing Windows, etc…) but for daily driving, blogging, research, photo editing/management, even podcasting, it is fantastic. #apple #ipad #blogincoming

You can search for a community directly within Mastodon web UI or your mobile client of choice via (at)communityname(at)lemmyinstance which will bring up the list of threads you can peruse and reply to directly within Mastodon.
You can also search a post URL within Mastodon (web UI for sure) and then reply directly to a post or a comment that way.
