Nope, never started working. I asked kaniini; she suggested extending a particular timeout config value. No values for this worked. I heard this a lot from other people, though I'll acknowledge I shut down my instance a while ago so ma

Most people aren't getting paid for running their instances, and are doing it for the kind of goodwill that is only amplified by enabling features.

Pleroma is mostly great except that you click follow and.... it doesn't work. The devs are mysteriously dismissive of this issue despite it being reported very, very consistently. I switched to running a ~single user Mastodon instance

When I had a major health need about a decade ago, I went from MD to MD with no success for months. Eventually my family was desperate enough to pay out of pocket to see a NP with good recommendations. She listened, investigated options, an

The amount of data you have to store for even the network's current larval state does not to me suggest that †he current version is real practical to scale.
