Mastodon

Running my own instance, where do you change the max_pinned_statuses? All I find is a variable called PIN_LIMIT, not a value. Is this something you can change?

I’m looking into setting up Mastodon instance for myself on a very minimal cloud server. To save resources on that box, I’d like to run the web interface on my own server at home, and only have the Mastodon backend running on the VPS. Is it possible to completely get rid of the web interface and only access the instance through the API? What’s the best way to achieve this? Does anyone have experience with this, or do you know any useful resources?

I've recently moved my mastodon instance off masto.host to a server I own. First thing I changed was the character limit and default UI (to Mastodon-Bird UI). But I was wondering about:

I have a mastodon.social account (if the instance I'm on matters). I use VPN and notice I'm getting these emails each time I sign in. My account is also just a post viewing account, so I have no account security concerns.

I recently discovered that the "Feature profile and posts in discovery algorithms" checkbox in the account settings is disabled by default. I didn't even know this option existed.

Hi, I’m hosting mastodon for personal use on subdomain.domain.tld — it has a valid ssl cert. The issue is that when I set the vanity server name to domain.tld (no subdomain) and create a Let’s Encrypt cert for domain.tld. The namecheap ssl cert checker says that the Hostname doesn’t match the Common Name or/and the SANs.

I am looking for an alternative to bird.makeup (Because it doesn't work anymore) that allows me to follow Twitter accounts on Mastodon. I saw on GitHub there was a tool called Touitomamout (https://github.com/louisgrasset/touitomamout) which is up to date and apparently does the job well but I don't know much about Docker. Is there an instant solution for me to follow Elon Musk on Mastodon 😆.

I’m not going to make a big paragraph to explain myself but here are the positive points:

Hello, I hope you are well.

I'm not able to follow lemmy account / community on a 4.2.8 mastodon instace... Are you on the same situation???

I'm thinking about joining mastodon, but I don't know what server to go with, and the list of servers seems to have very little information about each. Right now I think I'll open an account on mastodon.social.
