@me@m.nevkontakte.com Thank you! Editing support is planned, but the feature is a bit tricky to implement. It will land at some point!
@dev@microblog.pub looking forward to it, typos are my worst enemy :) I'm also curious to learn what is tricky about them? Maybe you could point me at some post or article? I won't make any promises, but if I can wrap my head around it, I could attempt to help with the implementation.
@me @dev hm...
What do you think about this article https://fightwithtools.dev/posts/writing/why-you-should-find-a-mastodon-instance
After I migrated to a new instance with the Local feed relevant to me, the whole #mastadon began to look much more interesting.
A few notes about self-hosting a fediverse account. I was interested in hosting a single-user instance and it seems like there are more or less three options:
I went with microblog.pub, since it seemed to fit my needs pretty well and the maintainer was very responsive in the bug tracker (thanks @dev@microblog.pub!). After setting it up, it uses ~200MB of RAM, almost no CPU, and ~30MiB on disk, including the Git repo. Granted, this instance doesn't have much content to store yet. The whole setup process took me a couple of hours, including troubleshooting some chmod mishaps, not counting tweaking CSS to my taste.
The biggest tweak I've done so far is adding EasyMDE for writing. To do that, I had to add the following lines to
admin_new.html
template:...and fix CSP in profile.toml:
custom_content_security_policy = "default-src 'self'; style-src 'self' 'sha256-{HIGHLIGHT_CSS_HASH}' https://unpkg.com/easymde@2.18.0/ https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/; script-src 'self' https://unpkg.com/easymde@2.18.0/ 'sha256-x3hT41jvAyXptNPHtcnje3M0xIBPpT+PuS/HVkYn8ac='; img-src m.nevkontakte.com nevkontakte.com; frame-ancestors 'none'; base-uri 'self'; form-action 'self'; connect-src 'self' https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/codemirror.spell-checker/; font-src 'self' https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/;"
The only feature I am really missing so far is the ability to edit posts, surely ActivityPub supports that?
