Ok, might not be leaving

So I might be re-focusing here, Wafrn is getting on my nerves. Its not that I don't like it, @gabboman the wafrn dev has done a great job, but I don't like being forced to be linked to Bluesky. Since I disconnected from it I get error message when trying to like, re-share or comment (I think its all of them) on random posts, not just Bluesky or Wafrn, but randomly anything, mastodon.social posts sometimes will throw an error for example.

And then there's the problem with links to accounts, there's two, one in the profile and another at the bottom of the timeline to go to the user's actual page rather than filtered through my instance. Its a minor problem, but especially on .social domains the bottom one substitutes a number for the user and doesn't work.

Sure, there's features it lacks that I'd like, and if'n someone came along and made something akin to Mastodon/Pleroma/Wafrn/et al with those would be awesome, but I can live with what it has.

I am giving GoToSocial a shot, if'n I can get time to really play with it, but at first glance I can't say I'm impressed by it, there's no obvious additions or improvements to it over the other choices, and the lack of a front end means that I'm using basically the same interface as Mastodon, so it doesn't look nor feel any different.

Just my two cents on GoToSocial. I really loved it when I used to be heavily active on fedi, but its promises of being "lightweight" are somewhat… incorrect. While that's true, it eventually chews through I/O like its no-one's business. Suppose it you keep to a small circle it probably won't be that bad, but letting it run wild federating with a huge amount of servers really chokes it.

Sqlite has its limits! Try using Postgres

Ours was connected to Postgres. I must point out our GTS server was federating with an insane amount of servers (like, getting way past 10k+). While that probably wasn't within its usecase, it was entirely the reason I stopped self-hosting fedi in the end: I'd already obliterated our self-hosted Mastodon instance, and I just could not be bothered with doing yet-another-migration-and-starting-afresh-again.

@Ducky 🦆🇼 @gabboman the wafrn dev Yeah, that was its one claim to fame that I could see, and if'n you're just doing a one user, there's lots of alternatives, though my pet peeve with those is mostly that they're all identical in features with the only difference being what programming language they're in.
