    An API to index statuses on Mastodon acting as a relay

  • A good compromise I’ve found is using something like “FakeRelay”[0] with “GetMoarFediverse”[1] to pull in specific tags from specific larger servers. This acts as a way to get more interested content in your search and other mastodon tabs while benefiting from the moderation efforts of larger servers. Always good to ask the admins of those servers before you do incase they are already at capacity and don’t want the extra load, and contribute to their patreon if they have one.

  • gotosocial

    Fast, fun, small ActivityPub server.

  • The main one is how they handle keys[1] which broke federation with Pleroma for a while. There's also some weirdness with their HTTP signing which breaks Honk follow requests but I'm still tracking that down.
