Pending quote posts should include the URL of the post instead of just a message it is pending and the "learn more" link, imo. Then, once the OP poster makes a decision, either make it a quote post or traditional link preview, if refused.

If the poster, after a set period of time, does nothing, it should then be treated as a link preview. #MastoAdmin #Mastodon

It's possible, the later actions are in there, I haven't looked too deep, but meanwhile, a link should be included initially in case the authorization is taking a while because the OP poster doesn't act.

phpc.social is now running on Mastodon 5.3.2, released around 15 hours ago.

Anyone else having issues of posting links or hashtags in the #Mastodon post box when you have already typed content, esp hashtags after a link, and then it breaking up the post with spaces, esp in links already added? #MastoAdmin. I have tested this on two different browsers. I refreshed the browsers, my Mastodon instance is the latest version.

Wow, already 3 years on the #Fediverse, meaning I have been running my #Mastodon instance just as long... crazy how fast time flies by...

My instance here in Switzerland is still small, so if someone needs a home, you may join!

I'm running a German-speaking Mastodon instance with half-open registration. So when I receive an account application in English, it's almost always from a bot or click-worker/slave trying to create sleeper accounts for use in spam campaigns. Here is a rather disingenious, very generic application that came in today:

I would like to register on this site to explore its features, connect with the community, and contribute valuable insights. I’m genuinely interested in engaging with discussions, learning from others, and sharing meaningful content that aligns with the platform’s purpose and values.

If you see something like this, please do not approve the account.

OK, Mastodon, I have a question. According to the site, I currently have 125 posts. I can only see ~20 of them. Where do I find the other ~100? What does the 125 consist of?

#mastodon #mastoadmin

I've disabled the #Cloudflare proxy for #MastodonAppUK (Thankfully their API still seems to work and I've been able to bodge it into working) so traffic should now be routing directly to our load balancer infrastructure which I hope will mean we should now be able to be online. This may mean the site will be slower for folks geographically further from the UK but it's either this or the site is intermittently down.

I'll get the change rolled out on #Universeodon and the Universeodon relay now.

Here's the 6 month Mastodon Sidekiq track, you'll see the highest amount of failures on the far right today in red - that was the Cloudflare outage.

Hopefully it encourages more #mastoadmin to consider if Cloudflare is a good choice.

The photos and other media on our instance are malfunctioning due to Cloudflare outage. Sorry about this, but there's nothing we can do on our end. Media is something we can't easily self-host cost-efficiently, we're talking terabytes of data.

@GossiTheDog, SideKiq may get worse, since multiple Mastodon instances rely on it.

New: Digital Ocean, Multiple Services Disruption

"Our Engineering team is actively investigating an issue impacting multiple DigitalOcean services caused by an upstream provider incident. This disruption affects a subset of Gen AI tools, the App Platform, Load Balancer, and Spaces. Users may experience degraded performance or intermittent failures within these services." #DigitalOcean #Outage #MastoAdmin

I’m trying to upgrade my Mastodon server from 4.4.3 to 4.4.8 since yesterday waiting for yarn to run its update. Currently the yarn process is running at 200% CPU, 0% memory, and been going on for 10+ hours. Any ideas? #FreeBSD #MastoAdmin

We just released Mastodon 4.5.1
