sb arms & legs<p>I've had troubles upgrading my <a href="https://metroholografix.ca/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mastodon</span></a> instance in the past.

erictapen<p>Users of the NixOS module for Mastodon, I want to change the options interface to make it more similar to the official way of configuring Mastodon: <a href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/424594" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/</span><span class="invisible">424594</span></a></p><p>What do you think?</p><p><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/NixOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NixOS</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/mastoAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mastoAdmin</span></a></p>

Michael<p>The one downside of the Mastodon update: I can't scroll Mastodon waiting for the Mastodon update to finish. 😁 </p><p>Also: Mastodon now has a Prometheus metrics exporter.

Jonathan Mergy<p>well 4.4.1 upgrade try was no fun. I will try again at some point. <a href="https://self.social/tags/mastoadmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mastoadmin</span></a></p>

Spammers have been programmatically creating accounts on Mastodon instances for years. Sometimes they post once and never again, sometimes they post on a schedule. Sometimes they never post, like a waiting botnet.

As Mastodon's anti-spam solutions are effectively nonexistent, most instances in our network require manual approval of new accounts. Up until recently, it was easy to spot a spammer; their join reasons were generic.

ChatGPT spammers have now arrived.

Vandaag hebben we mastodon.nl helemaal ge-upgrade!

We draaien nu op een Proxmox gebaseerde virtualisatie-stack met allemaal nieuwe virtuele machines en de laatste nieuwe versie van #mastodon 4.4.1

Vanaf nu gaan we proberen om heel erg bij te blijven. 😍

In testing a postgres upgrade (13->15) for our mastodon-servcer, I run into a fatal error 'Your installation contains user-defined objects that refer tointernal polymorphic functions with arguments of type "anyarray" or "anyelement". Haven't been able to find a fix for this online, and there seems to be no logfile to pinpoint the cause. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? #techquestion #mastoadmin #postgres

Hmm. I added the translation option to my Mastodon instance (with DeepL) but the "Translate" button does not appear in the Mastodon Web UI. Also tried wrapping the API key in single-quotes and added DEEPL_PLAN=free. Someone experience with this?

Update: it is working now! #MastoAdmin
