What I’m missing on the fediverse are better migration features.
While you can migrate to another server, the missing feature is to also migrate posts/boosts/likes to the new server instead of just the profile and follows.
And theres no real way to change the software of a server under the same domain.
When I started this instance I tried Mastodon, which was not really working well in container environments back then and was too heavy for an instance for just a handfull of users,
so I switched to GoToSocial which had many problems at the time and the development was pretty inactive.
In the result I switched to Takahe which was pretty promising and actively developed back then (also the multi domain feature and multiple identities per account is pretty nice).
Now Takahe seems pretty dead, no commits since month and zero communication.
But since this instance has been active for over a year now, with some accounts and follows it’s not that easy to switch back over to GoToSocial without losing anything.
The only possible solution for this would be to set up a separate server on a separate domain, migrate the accounts to this server (and wait until the migration fully federated), then shutdown this server and set it up with another server and finally migrate from the separate server to the new instance on this domain.
This still looses all posts, but at least keeps the follows.
Sadly Takahe has not implemented outgoing migrations yet (just incoming) and I don’t know if GoToSocial supports migrations (the GitHub issue is still open, so I guess not).
9 years after supporting the Kickstarter campaign for Squad my rewards finally arrived (19 Days from Canada to germany via normal post package).
Ich habe mein Video zu den diesjährigen Parkleuchten im Grugapark Essen fertiggestellt und nun veröffentlicht:

@takahe Is there any way to change the media URL for S3 Backend?
Cloudflare R2 does not allow access to media files by the S3 Endpoint URL and requires a custom domain.
I can rewrite the media URL’s through nginx for the website, but media sent to another server via ActivityPub remains on the inaccessible URL, so I need a config property to tell Takahe to publish another URL to media files on S3.
ValvE changed the player api.
The API does not return the playtime per platform (windows, linux, mac) and last played anymore.
The last played timestamp is pretty important for our backend, so I had to shutdown the worker until I find a new solution.
We will be back soon, hopefully!
