I just adjusted my relay instance which now also finally supports #GoToSocial! Of course, it also supports Pleroma, snac, Mastodon, littlefedi, starling and many other ones!

With relays, your own posted content gets distributed to all connected instances, as well you get the content all other instances. Currently, mostly tech related instances are connected, focusing on #Linux, #Proxmox, #BSD / #FreeBSD, #IPv6 and many other things!

@gyptazy @lilpoes @stefano I connected with current #gotosocial, it worked. 👍

I'm using #gotosocial for my another instance but never succesfully subscribing to fedi-relay.gyptazy.com.

Gts admin panel always say it now approved yet.

#GoToSocial and #littleFedi keep introducing thoughtful functionality focused on user choice and user empowerment and I'm here for it!

GoToSocial supports importing from previous instance even provides an API for importing non ActivityPub history but both require external tools. littleFedi has built-in backup and full instance restore that seems to be aiming for lower tech know-how. #OwnYourData indeed, hear hear 🍻

@shom @fasnix @madamada Built-in backups of the database, the configuration and, optionally, local owned media, with a manifest and a restore command.

You can fully export all your contents (including posts) and re-import them into another littleFedi instance. It'll be another account with another handle, but you won't lose any of your contents. Your data stays yours.

#OwnYourData

Big hopes for littleFedi | shom.dev https://shom.dev/posts/20260808_big-hopes-for-littlefedi/ #Fediverse #GoToSocial

There is a person I've been helping for a while who runs two instances, one #GoToSocial and one #snac.

Yesterday, they suffered severe file system corruption on their device, and I lent them a hand with the recovery. For GoToSocial, they restored the DB from the previous backup and got it running again. For snac, although a few files were lost, no action was necessary... it just started back up and did what it had to do, bringing the instance back to full operation.

This goes to show that when software is well-designed and intentionally kept simple, it's also easier to get back up and running when something goes wrong. In this case, snac's "files-only" approach demonstrated excellent resilience.

Thanks, @grunfink !

darn it. looks like i can't change the shape of my free ARM server on Oracle Cloud.

that means i have to go through the very annoying process of moving my Gotosocial instance to another server.

aghhh. a task i wish i didn't need to do. if anybody knows of a good "moving your gotosocial instance" for dummies. i'd be grateful.

i am trawling the interwebs and reading up on this again...for real this time.

oracle telling me i need to change my free server shape.
