ActivityPub and GNU Social users! There are dozens of us, Michael, dozens!
- Aeolun 4y agoIt’s not very surprising. I was looking around for an easy way to set up anythi g using ActivityPub using a single docker instance, and all the big players are ‘check out from source and run directly on your server’. No thanks.
- d1sxeyes 4y agoTFA seems to link to a Docker image? I think there are probably two main groups interested in ActivityPub. The 80% will want to just register on someone else's instance. The rest are nerds who will set up their instances for fun, and will not be massively hindered by the lack of simple set-up options. I would guess that users like you ('curious, but not invested') would likely not gravitate to ActivityPub anyway, and almost certainly not to hosting your own instance.
- gargron 4y agoHalf a million MAU.
- preseinger 4y ago500k users rounds to dozens, AFAIU ;) But, source?
- gargron 4y agoI cannot relate to this way of thinking. That's about the entire city of Manchester. Do dozens of people live in Manchester? 500K is vastly more than any average person can ever hope to have as followers on Twitter; it's not a ceiling anyone debating joining Mastodon can reasonably run into unless they are a celebrity -- and those have the power to pull in anyone from anywhere.
