@design_RG We already bring in glitch-social peacemeal, so always happy to add in new features from them too. I think our local-only stuff comes from them for example
@freemo Could we consider a full switch into a Glitch-Social instance?
It would be easier for you to work it out, while a Pleroma move would take longer, need more experimentation, etc.
As a short term solution, with the Pleroma project remaining a goal post -- as it reduces system resources and hosting costs considerably.
Please consider !!
Koyu's migration seem to have gone perfectly. (17 GB database converted fine) I know you have extras added, but patching GS should be tons easier than a whole new platform.
Thank you !
@design_RG Also if we migrate to glitch-social then the migration script that goes from mastodon vanilla to pleorma may not work too. So it may make it impossible to make that move later if we decide to.
@freemo Is that Alex Gleason's script? I saw him mentioning it, and that it was for v.2.8.5 or so; it might break with newer versions too, no?
@design_RG maybe, id need to ask or look into it. My hope is it is for v2.8.5 and newer but maybe not..
Either way we need to be careful is the point.
@freemo The current release of Glitch Soc is 3.1.4 -- same version number as Eugen's.
Feel free to do what makes sense for you -- the Front End is the important bit for me, where they added polish, extras, elegant controls.
And MarkDown and HTML tag enhanced text formatting at the user's discretion.
I suggested a wholesale install of GS, patched with your additions, as a lesser labour intensive idea, compared to full Pleroma redevelopment.
@design_RG we can adopt any features of glitch social you like, but a full conversion of the code base we need to move cautiously is all.
@design_RG yup im actively working on it, anytime now , just working out some bugs i have in the test instance
@freemo Wonderful!
We should have an announcement of the important relocation of ALL Qoto data processing and storage to EU locations.
Want to do it, or I can, just give me some basic info to work with.
@design_RG We should give you access to the QOTO account, as that is really where official announcements should come from.
@freemo That sounds good.
@design_RG Well the issue is that glich social forked off of an older version of mastodon where we would loose some vanilla mastodon features to gain glitch social features.
Is there an advantage to that orather than just pulling int he glitch social features and getting the best of both worlds?
