@mycroft I have worked with different frameworks over the years and don't mind helping fellow Furs who want to take this next step. I have offered help in the past, but, for the most part, people were satisfied with FA and just sticking to social platforms to serve as their bodies of work.

In addition, there is another tendency to say "we *could* #rollyourown, but let's use a #library instead."

This shouldn't be a hard and fast thing though. A lot of the time you end up net negative because the work you did to 1. install the #dependency 2. #adapt your code to use it is more than it took just to roll your own, if it's a simple process.

You also are asking for situations like the 2016 #leftpad disaster:

A nice tool for transferring certain sensitive data. “Burn after reading” feature or timed expirations. https://github.com/PrivateBin/PrivateBin #foss #opensource #docker #rollyourown #selfhosted

I finally scored something good at a garage sale; a film bulk loader and a bunch of reloadable metal film canisters for $5! The freezer bag even says “Sweet Rolls.” #BelieveInFilm #BelieveInGarageSales #RollYourOwn

Server keeps on rolling... Cache keeps on growing...

This is after 3 days of uptime, with 3 active users.

One way to setup a personal Mastodon instance (Docker) with a lot of optional extras 👍 🐘

I decided to bite the bullet and transfer my account from the "big" server to my own tiny instance.

It looks like my small list of followers transferred across without problems, but I am still having the issue where some of my follows are showing up in a "waiting for approval" state.

This instance feels way snappier than the bigger one, but I guess this is to be expected since right now it has a grand total of 2 users.

Well, I rolled out my own Mastodon instance on my tiny Docker host. For now I will probably just use it to figure out what all of the buttons do.

One thing does have me perplexed, following people on certain instances seems to require approval when done so from my own instance, while following the same people from mastodon.social does not.

I'm guessing mastodon.social is somehow whitelisted with most other instances and my own brand new instance is not.
