What's mastodon?
A good way to find an instance that works for you is the site: Mastodon instances https://instances.social/
-
Suggesting Mastodon for the academic community.
Firstly, you can start by searching for instances of interest here.
-
Mastodon has reached 13M accounts
The latter. Source is at https://github.com/gallizoltan/usercount which states:

For members of "science twitter" who are opposed to Twitter's recently deployed content-wall - what are some alternative platforms that help academics openly share and discuss scientific research?
For those on the fence, but know more about how instances work, this resource may help you pick a relevant one. There is also this Github resource that enlists all academia-based instances.

Any Indigenous Mastodon Servers To Join?
I used this site for finding specialized Mastodon servers. I used a variety of search string and did not find any Mastodon servers specialized to Indigenous People's concerns.

Migration Guide / Plan
Find and join communities in Reddit alternatives. Here's a list of Mastodon communities, and here's an online tool to find and parse through the different Mastodon communities. This is a list of popular Lemmy servers. However, do keep an eye out as some existing subreddit's moderators may create new communities on these sites.

Bookwyrm β the federated social network for reading books
Itβs got a very ideologically-driven focus, including an anti-capital source license:
https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/blob/main/LICENS...
I think the focus on federation is to encourage small, decentralized and communally operated sites that play well with the broader fediverse. I can see that working well for a lot of book communities!
Also, spent a bit of time a few weeks ago and it already seemed to have the nicest UX of the open social book services, at least that I could see (would love recs - mostly interested in a personal tracker).

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Crypto' and more issues

Setting up a server for a github clone?
So my class is a two semester thing where we are assisting a sponsor in creating a prototype of a item or feature, this is our sponser that we are adding a feature to btw. We have our own fork of it and I made my own copy on my computer (using git clone URL) as this will be a learning experience. I don't have the server set up for me to do debugging/runs and I am not sure how to set up the server to do test runs.

Jelu : self hosted book tracker update
I contacted the bookwyrm dev a while ago to ask an API, we'll see where it leads us (https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/issues/785)

Mastodon β A Federated Twitter Alternative
Beware that Bookwyrm is distributed under the "Anticapitalist software license" [1] so you must be very veyr very careful before using it. It may be actually impossible to legally deploy it for a lot of people.

Jelu : book tracker/database (selhosted goodreads alternative)
Yes, the most obvious choice would be BookWyrm. I thought it would be nice to automatically publish read events or things like this on BookWyrm, but the API does not seem to be very stable or even clear : I found this link https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/issues/785 Apparently BookWyrm has to tweak the ActivityPub format to fit book model, so I'll wait for this to be clearer. Thanks for your interest anyway.

There's a new welcome page for Bookwyrm, the GoodReads alternative on the Fediverse
I believe they're referring to the fact the license (Anti-Capitalist Software License) is not considered to be open source
