good news! i managed to get my own #selfHosted #mastodon instance set up, and it appears to be working perfectly, which means that the obvious next step is to...

... smash it with a hammer and start from scratch again, to make sure i actually do know how to set an instance up (and didn't just get lucky the first time)! :apartyblobcat:

i should probably write down what i'm doing this time, too. would that be helpful for anyone else? :blobcatbreadpeek:

Hey all! I know that there's many people affected by the #MastodonDotLol shutdown, and I just want to let people know (especially on .social & .online) that you can easily generate invite links for your friends if they're seeking to flee to an instance with somewhat guaranteed longevity (due to its ties with the larger mastodon project).

Okay, I am now over at https://lgbtqia.space/@TheRatCantRead and in the process of importing my follows list! See you all on the other side, my comrades and friends, and I hope my migration process works okay *crosses fingers and prays to the goddess* #Migration #MastodonMigration #MastodonDotLol

Giving myself a deadline to fully migrate elsewhere in the next week or so (hopefully lgbtqia.space will take me!). Still trying to figure out the redirect versus move process for changing instances, but at least the process for importing follows seems straightforward (I hope!) #MastodonDotLol #Migration #MastodonMigration

Fucking typical, first time in my life I had a seat at the cool kids' table...

Hi 👋 #mastodondotlol, my name is Stu and I am a huge fan of technology and Music.

I love open source software and using Linux. I love seeing social sites being used on decentralized platforms.

I am currently loving a new series on #Hulu called #AlaskaDaily

We agree and boosted (but, then we remembered that '#MastodonDotLol' is cloudFlare and had to unboost sorry)

A writer once said that after #WWII many of the great artists had gone. Died. We keep this in mind as the Pope this week says WW3 has started.
