For what seems like ages .... (about 6-8 weeks), I did not want to touch anything on my yunohost mastodon app, because the webinterface was broken, but the barebones settings were accessible. And I could still toot via my mobile app.
Finally, the interface is up and running again, but I fear a mastodon-move will be in the works, as I find the yunohost masto version very dodgy and not well maintained.
Any tips on how I can install my own server _and_ keep all data of this version in the new one?
@leonieke and update of the masto image is not working, constantly giving errors.
Could be a provider issue, but for me it happened at 2 different providers
@meneer @tetrislife I ran firefish (outside of yunohost), but the uncertainty of its development made me want to move to mastodon again.
@tetrislife Thanks for the tip. For now I want to run a well developed platform, so mastodon feels like the safest bet. @meneer
@leonieke
I don't know what well-developed means to you, but Hubzilla/Streams are older, more versatile, and more conservatively developed than the Mastodon juggernaut. They have their drawbacks, but are not resource hogs.
A more Mastodonistic but simpler-admin alternative might be #Pleroma ...
@meneer
@tetrislife @leonieke I had an instance of hubzilla, but the concept behind it is too far away from microblogging, it's a hybrid social server / internet platform.
The Yunohost community, all volunteers, is probably not mature enough to support a stable environment. I like it a lot, though. I'm considering running mastodon on some iron at home...
@tetrislife @leonieke it's not mastodon issue, more like an issue with the yunohost package or script.
My firefish is running smoothly on the same vps and can be updated without error.
