Bob Dendry (Join Our Server!)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<a href="https://masto.fediverse.games/tags/PeerTube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PeerTube</a> <a href="https://masto.fediverse.games/tags/FediAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediAdmin</a>

Grow Your Own Services 🌱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! 🙂 <a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/FediAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediAdmin</a> <a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/MastoAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MastoAdmin</a>

Grow Your Own Services 🌱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?<a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AskFedi</a> <a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/FediAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediAdmin</a> <a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/MastoAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MastoAdmin</a>

Grow Your Own Services 🌱To follow on from yesterday's post, servers naturally see more of the Fediverse as their members follow accounts on other servers. If this is happening too slowly for you, there are also ways to more quickly increase the amount of accounts and posts your server can see:➡️ <a href="https://fedi.tips/using-relays-to-quickly-expand-a-servers-view-of-the-fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fedi.tips/using-relays-to-quickly-expand-a-servers-view-of-the-fediverse</a>You can also see a complete list of scenarios which make servers notice accounts and posts here:➡️ <a href="https://fedi.tips/which-posts-and-accounts-can-i-see-from-my-server" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fedi.tips/which-posts-and-accounts-can-i-see-from-my-server</a><a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/MastoAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MastoAdmin</a> <a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/FediAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediAdmin</a>

✨Soff✨ Mawr :dragnwitch:An opinion once more widely shared is that the Fediverse is meant to be a place free of the trappings of clout. As a result, Shitposters are often looked down on by <a href="https://plush.city/tags/FediAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediAdmin</a> and <a href="https://plush.city/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> alike.Those holding these opinions may assume shitposters to be mere clout chasers, using our hard-built communities to mine for both pointless and cherished internet points.Conversely, I believe that Shitposters serve several important functions!

Grow Your Own Services 🌱Still seeing posts from server admins that say "boost this post to help my server federate". It's unclear where this idea comes from, as boosting posts does not do anything to help a server federate.Servers do not connect to entire other servers, they only connect to specific accounts on other servers.If you want your server to federate more, encourage your server's members to follow more people on other servers, and encourage people on other servers to follow your members.<a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/FediAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediAdmin</a>

Grow Your Own Services 🌱Are you a club, co-operative, institution, business or other organisation that wants to run a Mastodon server?If so, you might want to get to know the "roles" system in Mastodon's administrative tools. This is an extremely useful and flexible way of assigning titles and powers to staff on your server. It also includes an (optional) hierarchy which makes cases of disagreement easier to resolve.You can find out more info about it at:➡️ <a href="https://fedi.tips/how-can-organisations-or-groups-run-a-mastodon-server" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fedi.tips/how-can-organisations-or-groups-run-a-mastodon-server</a><a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/MastoAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MastoAdmin</a> <a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/FediAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediAdmin</a>

Mastodon.ieHey folks,Similar to the recent mastodon.social limiting, we've seen an uptick in spam bots from mastodon.world. As a result, we've limited the instance.This again means that you'll only be able to see posts from those accounts that you already follow.Thanks<a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/mastodaoine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastodaoine</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/fediadmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediadmin</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/fediadmins" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediadmins</a>

Grow Your Own Services 🌱If you're running a Fediverse server, you don't have to keep growing forever!Some of the most thoughtfully-run and well-moderated servers on the Fediverse close themselves to new members when they reach a sustainable size.The Fediverse is also much safer in the long run if its members are spread out on many servers.The Fediverse isn't a startup and there are no investors to worry about. The aim isn't to cash out or gain clout, but to build something humane and sustainable.<a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/FediAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediAdmin</a>

Eve 😘📚I received a "Nicole" spam from (at)nicole31(at)unipar.online I've reported the spam. However, unipar.online is on v3.4.0 of Mastodon. As best I can tell, it has no active users.I'm not necessarily calling for a <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Fediblock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediblock</a> because it's an old enough version of the software that I really can't be sure there are definitely no active users who are real. This is a heads up for <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Fediadmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediadmin</a> , though.

Grow Your Own Services 🌱The "fedi chick" spams continue because spammers are signing up on Mastodon instances with instant signups available. If you're running a Mastodon instance, please switch signups to approval mode instead.You can do this at Preferences > Administration > Server Settings > Registrations > Who can sign up, set it to "Approval required for signup" and "require a reason to join", then save changes.If people keep getting spams from your instance, it may end up defederated.<a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/FediAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediAdmin</a> <a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/MastoAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MastoAdmin</a>

Grow Your Own Services 🌱The Fediverse is still being hit by the "Fediverse Chick" spam, and it seems to be coming from servers that have instant sign-ups open.If you run a Fediverse server, please consider switching to approval-based sign-ups to prevent spammers flooding the Fedi.<a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/FediAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediAdmin</a> <a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/Spam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Spam</a>

Grow Your Own Services 🌱If you're frustrated about remote Fediverse profiles looking blank even though they're not blank, I've made a feature request about this on the Mastodon Github:<a href="https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/33978" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/33978</a>TL:DR - If a remote profile is blank or outdated, a user could click a button to load the 5 latest posts.The Masto devs have previously been concerned that backfilling would overwhelm servers, but 5 posts on request wouldn't seem to be too bad?Any thoughts appreciated 🙂 <a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/Backfilling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Backfilling</a> <a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/MastoAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MastoAdmin</a> <a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/FediAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediAdmin</a>

Grow Your Own Services 🌱If you're running a Fediverse server of any size (including single-user servers), these things will help your server federate: - Members of your server following people on other servers - Members of other servers following people on your server - Members of your server following and posting to groups - Relays (preferably hashtag-specific ones to conserve resources)Other people boosting your posts will NOT help your server federate, it just spreads your post further 🙂 <a href="https://social.growyourown.services/tags/FediAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediAdmin</a>
