Is it useful to create your own Mastodon instance?

!Selfhosted

The following was asked on a #Mastodon forum on #Reddit - I replied and a sort of converation started. I felt that it wa better to have the discussion where others with valuable inside could chip in so I have- with the OP's permission posted the following:

For years I have the same question:

Is it useful to create your own Mastodon instance or any other fediverse instance?

Many admins say it is a lot of work and they put a lot of effort, money and energy in it. Some even close their instance after few years, because it is just too much.

After the new political development in the USA, the fediverse got a new wave of interested people from all over the world, but the question stays.

In my opinion it makes only sense if you already have a community, like, if you're an influencer or part of an NGO or similar projects with several people, who will support you creating and maintaining it with money and own time.

What do you think and do you own an instance or work on one?

Doesnt need to be #Mastodon - could be #Friendica or #Gotosocial

Lots of ways to simplify the process - I use #Yunohost gives me Email, Nextcloud and ActivityPub for friends and family

Ideally Id eventually like to see something like this packaged into a router like #openwrtone One

> that is useful for them.

interesting use case, but is it possible to separate friends and family members on the instance somehow? Because it sounds really good to protect all people who are close to you, but they don't have to know what the "other chatroom" is about.

And the link gave me flashbacks, because I tried to create my own lemmy instance. I worked every day for a month on it to throw it away in the end. It had so many bugs and a few seconds after my instance was online, I had weird conversations in my database, which couldn't be seen in the UI. And talking about the issues with the creator of lemmy was a little bit a pain, too.

After this, I've started a classical forum (flarum), because it looked like the fediverse is doing weird things, like polluting the database with garbage.

> Doesnt need to be Mastodon - could be Friendica or Gotosocial

I don't get the concept of gotosocial? It's like having a Mastodon instance with yourself. How do people find you?

I guess it's not made for creators, but for nerdy consumers, right?

> Lots of ways to simplify the process - I use Yunohost gives me Email, >Nextcloud and ActivityPub for friends and family

That's for sure, but there is still the problem that it must be maintained and if you already have a community, it would be really easy, but without a community or even people who know what this is, you have to do it all by your own. This could be stressful and depressing (imho).

> Ideally Id eventually like to see something like this packaged into a router like > OpenWrt One

gotosocial looks like it could work, but not for the whole family :D

Now I can't help them when it comes to #gotosocial - So perhaps others can chip in.

My thoughts were that with separate subdomains (or domains ) in Yunohost you can separate out instances for Family/Friends and the group they belong to but

I'm also aware that some #ActivityPub servers can run multiple separte instances for different groups while optimising federation - I think #takake did that - but again I don't know much about that approach -

When it comes to the questiona bout being maintained. THat is a question a group I belong to has been considering since they worry about having to maintain infrastructure for a Sports Club and don't want to get bogged down in keeping the lights on - Here I guess I think using templates where possible (which I think Yunohost is kind of ) and professional support for #Opensource solutions might come in handy . (people like #autonomic I guess - or just having enough people in your group to provide the support..

GoToSocial is just another Fediverse software that works with multiple users like any other. The difference is really only that it is tuned more towards smaller instances and as a result is easier to set up and maintain. It also assumes most people will be using a mobile app with it anyways and thus the built in webclient is very bare bones. It does work fine with external webclients like Phanpy though.

If you spin up a Lemmy instance and subscribe to a community, all new posts and comments inside that community will be mirrored to your instance. As I'm subscribed to around 100 different communities, that was a LOT of traffic without me doing anything. That's why I've given up on self-hosting Lemmy just for myself and went back to using lemmy.ml.

However, I do self-host a GoToSocial server just for myself. It's probably not necessary as mastodon.social isn't going anywhere anytime soon, but if you're on a smaller instance, it might be worth it. Also, you get to show off your own domain name. And, while other instances may block yours, your content stays online as long as YOU want it to. There's no way for an external moderator to delete posts on your own server.

People can find you via Boosts from others or by searching for your @username@domain.com.

Maintaining my GoToSocial so far consisted of simply getting WatchTower to update the Docker container. Migration of data to a new version happens automatically. (Well, there was one accident where some pre-release version got released under the latest tag and I had to use the development branch for a few days .... but that was an accident from the GtS-team and shouldn't happen again.)

And that's my biggest issue w/ Lemmy. It seems to scale okay, provided you have enough users to make all that traffic worthwhile. However, I'm unlikely to actually self-host since I really don't want a copy of literally everything I sub to. Ideally, I could host my own authentication server and only the communities I host (which would probably be 0), and I'd just fetch whatever I needed from wherever it's hosted.

The reason to host your own instances is altruism. You help out the community with decentralisation and also absorb some of the bandwidth and storage costs from other instances. This is necessary for the Fediverse to survive.

Many admins say it is a lot of work and they put a lot of effort, money and energy in it. Some even close their instance after few years, because it is just too much.

I would say you should limit the number of active accounts. Probably to a few hundred at most in the beginning. Close registration when things start to become too much. Re-evaluate periodically and re-open as necessary/desired. There's no reason you have to allow thousands of people on your instance.

Ia really think the idea of having a 'common bond' is a good idea to stick to. Whether thats 'my family ' or ' members of my sailing club' or ' people i went to school with' Anything beyond that you want some legal structures between you and the users to provide a level of protection

If you don't plan on supporting this for at least a few years I would say no.

If you don't expect to have a decent local userbase I would say no (local in the sense of a common interest, e.g. it might be useful to host an instance for all members of even a small company if you expect a decent amount of posts).

If it's just you and your family (let's be honest: it's just you) I would say no.

The fediverse can federate, but if everyone is using their own server it's just a fancy peer to peer network.

I'm going to say that if you are doing it for wider family that might still be worth it (given that you can get a private stream and your network feed might be more relevant for other family members - But then it is a case of bringing your family along with you.. If you are doing other stuff for them (email, file sharing , device management - Then maybe an ActivityPub server becomes a bit of an addon

IMO no.

Small instances can have issues with federation and now showing all replies/content.

There's also the aspect that you'll need to moderate content stored on your server, if someone posts something illegal and your server caches it, you're responsible for cleaning it up.

Just join some smaller instance not hosted in the US. That’s what I did, and it prevents centralization. I am super happy with my choice as the bigger instances may be getting defederated while the smaller ones kinda fly under the radar and the chances of getting caught in a collective responsibility for stuff that other users from your instance posted are smaller

Is it better for them to build an open source app and host their meetings on Zoom, a platform familiar to the audience they're hoping to bring, or for them to just not, and for local cooperative banks to all build their own in-house proprietary banking apps with no open source option existing?

I'd really like it if we stopped letting perfect be the enemy of good. My credit union uses an app that's just a webview wrapper for their website. I haven't taken a look at the project but a native app built as an open source community project would be fucking awesome, regardless of whether they host video meetings with zoom or jitsi.

They want their project to succeed. A free software project that dies doesn't actually provide anyone with freedoms; hosting with the more well known and familiar video hosting software when they have no existing audience is the right choice.

@Cris_Color@lemmy.world

@abeorch@friendica.ginestes.es @pastermil@sh.itjust.works

Many years ago I worked on a project with some FSF staff who refused to use non-FOSS solutions to coordinate or conduct meetings. While the developers involved where all prolific contributors to open source projects used by millions of people, they were all willing to compromise on some of the tools we use to develop and communicate for "the greater good". The FSF staff weren't willing to make those compromises. At the time I was frustrated by this. As Slack ownership changed, costs increased and policies around what they could do with "our" data evolved, I now have a lot more respect for the FSF staff who are "holding the line".

I assume it's probably a colossal process to uproot and move infrastructure, but personally I see that eventual hassle as being better than the project never getting enough momentum in the first place.

I think once you actually have a project and audience you can make all the most ideal choices but they do come with costs that really matter when you're just starting things

From that one time I saw the most perfect window scene and felt obligated to capture it.

I was inside the capital building of Antigua #Guatemala and as I walked up the stairs I looked out the stairwell window to see this gorgeously framed flower pot. Someone had to have put it there on purpose! I particularly enjoy the effectively black canvas created by the dark interior behind.

#WindowFriday #feinsterfreitag #fineartphotography #artphotography #photography #fujifilm #FensterFreitag

A flower pot full of red rose like flowers sits perfectly centered within a window. The interior is perfectly black, while the window trim is a bright yellow with decorative tooling. The building is a classical mid century Spanish architecture so the walls are a white spacco. The tiled roof can be seen above with a sliver of blue sky showing.

'Wellington, you’re so weird': Huge crowd gathers to watch a man fold a fitted sheet

Comedian Dan Boerman arrived in Wellington jetlagged and delirious, but he had a plan. On Monday afternoon, in front of a raucous crowd on Cuba Street, he would perform his ability to fold a fitted sheet to all.
“I’m ballparking about 700 people showed up, and from the videos, there were people standing on bins to try and see. It was like a Fred Again concert.”
“Loads of people were saying to me afterwards, ‘This is so silly, this is what we needed in Wellington’ and it was kind of profound in a sense. I was just being silly and putting together something nonsense but people felt real good coming together and chanting on a stranger: ‘Fold that sheet!’

There is an approved tag, 4wd_only, that fits very well. But as with all tags, it's up to the engines to recognise and honor it.

A way to fine tune it would be using the acess restrictions. Maybe vehicle=no, ohv=yes? But I'm not sure whether routing engines are so vehicle aware.

Usually config directories and file are found in /etc. I guess there's a /etc/imapsync/imapsync.conf
If there isn't then the conf-file(s) should be somewhere in the /home directory.

Try the man page if one exists. That one should explain everything: man imapsync

Yeah no man page and /etc/imapsync doesn't exist - I've also had a look at the documentation on the site (imapsync.lamiral.info/ but the documentation feels a bit free form - I mean Hey its free software I don't expect anything - I have managed to get it running using the example config I found on the site and just creating a folder in a subdirectory of my ~/ and seem to be making some progress with some dry runs. I'm actually hoping to move emails into my email account running on #yunohost.

Imapsync is a (PERL?) script you download, and then run it passing parameters.

If you need OAuth, and it seems so since you want to sync a Google account, you have to download some more files that help you obtain an access token for Gmail.

But as far as I remember, there are no config files needed to run it.
Infact I am cron running it every 5 minutes to one way sync an IMAP account to Office365 (needs an OAuth token too, and a second script to refresh the token every hour)

Feel free to ask for more, but I cannot guarantee a timely response.

Thanks yeah. I think you are right. I have managed to have some success with extracting emails from #Gmail using #imapsync. I've done a couple of test runs but think that I have an issue with labels (basically I end up with emails in the All Mail folder but not in Sent or Inbox ) so I think I need to look at the options a bit.

Where should I / would you keep scripts that I create to run either one off or on a regular basis ? Should I create a folder in /etc/imapsync ? I have never really understood the folder structure of Linux despite trying to read up on it a few times.

#gmail #imapsync

You can remap IMAP source folder to destination folder. It's very likely that sent folder needs to be remapped between different hosts.
I suggest you to use the dry-run option and examine the log to see if the folders are correctly mapped.

More in detail, I created an user just to run imapsync as a good practice in Linux.
Then downloaded imapsync in a subfolder of the user home directory, created two very simple scripts, one with the imapsync command with all the parameters I needed and one for the token.
Lastly, using crontab -e, I added two entry one for each script.

You don't need to put imapsync into etc, it is not a binary and, as far as I know, there is no package that you can install with a package manager, it's just a script that you download and execute. Anyway, where you put that, its up to you.

Yeah I did some dry runs and the folders maoped but I think its something about the labels .. Ill dig further.

That info about running via cron is really useful.
