Fediverse Statistik

Spannend, was ist denn in den letzten Wochen im #Fediverse passiert? Ich habe mal wieder in die Föderations Statistik meiner kleinen Instanz geschaut und bin etwas überrascht über die Anzahl der monatlich aktiven Nutzer die meine Instanz kennt. Fast fünf Millionen, so viel waren ja lange nicht mehr monatlich im Fediverse aktiv. Und 21 Millionen Nutzer insgesamt. Das könnte auch erklären, warum meine Instanz in letzter Zeit so zäh läuft und leicht überlastet wirkt. Sieht die Statistik bei anderen #Admins und #Instanzbetreibern ähnlich aus oder ist da irgendeine Spam-Instanz aktiv und verfälscht die Statistik?

Derzeit kennt dieser Knoten 23.782 andere Knoten (mit 4.677.762 aktiven Nutzern im letzten Monat, 2,575,556 aktiven Nutzern im letzten halben Jahr, 21.745.161 registrierten Nutzern insgesamt) von den folgenden Plattformen:

Yo chooms, I've created some cyber-alien-tastic emotes again.

If you annoy your instance admin or your mods, they'll probably upload them to your instance!

A lot of Fediverse software has a HEALTH-CHECK URL.

But not all Fediverse does.

It would be better if ALL Fediverse software had a HEALTH-CHECK URL.

...

A HEALTH-CHECK URL is a special URL that tell others if the system is running properly.

It would return "200 OK" if everything is fine. And return "500 Internal Server Error" if there is a problem

...

A HEALTH-CHECK URL is important to those who actual run and administrate Fediverse servers

Fediverse Admins, I need your input!

What fundraising/support platforms are you using to help support your instance financially? Are they meeting your expectations? Have you used a provider in the past and been removed from the platform or left because you weren't happy with their service?

I've done a bit of research and put together a comparison of a few different providers.

Hey #FediAdmin!
I have a #Friendica instance that I would like to get rid of, and on the same domain, I would like to host another #Fediverse software.
Will that cause conflicts?

Here's a guide for Mastodon admins on how to moderate your server's trending posts, hashtags, news stories and recommended follows:

https://fedi.tips/how-do-admins-moderate-trends-on-their-mastodon-server

It's highly recommended that you moderate trends in advance by screening them, because this prevents trolls from giving visibility to hate posts. If you allow trends to appear automatically and moderate them afterwards, the damage may be done already by the time you get round to blocking something.

Alpacas seen on a walk today reminded me of one of my favourite mastodon admins @jerry !

As the admin of a 5 person hosted server, it often feels like we are left out of wider conversations. We don't see all comments from all users on posts of people we follow. Is there anything I can do as an admin to make sure we see as much content as possible? #Mastodon #Mastoadmin #Fediadmin #Admin

Moin ihr Lieben,

ich war mal wieder im Backend von video-cave-v2.de und habe das wichtige Peertube Security Update 7.1.1 installiert.
Zusätzlich wurden mit dem Peertube Security Update ein paar Bugs beseitigt.

Changelog findet ihr hier:

PS: Vielen Dank an @angry, durch den ich auf das wichtige Securityupdate aufmerksam geworden bin

The number one cause of Fediverse servers crashing seems to be the storage drives filling up with cached Fediverse user data — posts, profiles, avatar images, header images, etc.

But, Misskey and the Misskey forks (ex: Firefish, Sharkey, etc) also have an additional challenge that fills up their storage drives —

PeerTube admins and self-hosters,

There is an official PeerTube forum where you can post technical questions, problems and discussions about running your own PeerTube at:

https://framacolibri.org/c/peertube/38

It can also be used by ordinary users asking questions, but it tends to be more at the technical self-hosting end of things.

It's on Framacolibri which is the PeerTube developers' own Discourse instance.

I was having trouble getting a Peertube Runner image that did *exactly* what I wanted it to do, so I decided to create my own. Feel free to use, not documented as of yet (try and get that done tonight).

https://github.com/fediverse-games/peertube-runner

Would be great to be able (without modifying the source code and rebuilding) to get hardware decode/encode working on Peertube Remote Runners.

Well aware of the fact hardware encoding quality isn't as good as software encoding, but being able to utilise the GPU would really increase the scale and capability of the remote runners.

Yes, I should probably just make the changes myself and do a pull request, but JS/TS is absolutely not a strong language for me

If you run a public server with special features such as extended post lengths, additional poll options, rich text etc, you might want to mention these in your server's description.

A lot of new people join big stock Mastodon servers and aren't sure about the differences between servers. Something very concrete like longer posts is a really good way of getting them thinking about moving.

It's not the only reason to move, but it's a good way to get their attention!

Hey Fediverse admins, need to ask some help!

Do you know any forums or groups specifically for Fediverse admins to ask each other technical questions?
