#MastoAdmin
I'm running the latest code of the glitch-social Mastodon fork but don't seem to have the ability to quote-toot yet. Is there a config setting I need to enable?

Seit der Version 4.5.0 von #Mastodon braucht mein Server deutlich mehr Traffic. Größenordnung etwa doppelt so viel. Haben andere #Mastoadmin das auch beobachtet?

phpc.social is now running Mastodon v4.4.4. Had to do a `yarn install` to get assets to compile, but other than that an uneventful upgrade ~5.3 hours after the release.
#mastoadmin

currently updating to 4.5.1….
#mastodon #mastoadmin #selfhost

Heads up: Our instance datasci.social will receive new hardware tonight and a rollout to Mastodon v.4.5.1, so there might be minor interruptions tonight. #mastoadmin

phpc.social skipped Mastodon v4.4.6 (because I've been busy, and v4.4.7 landed shortly thereafter), and is now on v4.4.7.

phpc.social is now running on Mastodon 4.5.1, released around an hour and a half ago.

That was slightly more drama updating to Mastodon v4.5.0 than I wanted.
The OS restarted while the database migration was in progress so I had to restore the database from backups.
Except this took some time because of the size of the database and the fact that the backup software I have for the #PostgreSQL server needs to rewrite the entire database to restore older versions.

TIme to start the process of updating to Mastodon v4.5! Now that I've lightened the load on little #footiMac this should be a much quicker process than the past few updates!
Happy Updating!

there's a specific fedi instance ending in .estate (you've probably seen it if you're a #mastoadmin or #fediadmin) that's been a hub for all sorts of problematic stuff. I have just sent an abuse report to:
- the domain registrar
- the nameserver operator, and

#MastoAdmin I just upgraded #postgresql from v17 to v18 without any problems !

Lawfedi is now running Mastodon v4.5.0-rc.2

So.... anyone off the top of your head know the feasibility of migrating a Mastodon instance to a new domain name?
Is it generally better etiquette to run the 3-month decom rule and spin up a new clean instance, or do a DNS redirect?

I upgraded my mastodon docker installation from 4.4.6 to 4.5.0-beta.1. Now I'm on 4.4.7 🤔
#mastoadmin

phpc.social is now running Mastodon 4.5.0, released a little over three days ago. Thanks for your patience on this upgrade, which went a fair bit smoother thn the last non-patch-release bump. Have fun quoting folks! #mastoadmin

#MastoAdmin PSA: I’ve been noticing many posts like this one below going around Fedi lately, and I suspect it may be a type of scam trying to promote that “global voice” account. https://social.boger.dev/@J/1151158024

Hey Mastodon! Do you love community? This video on community kicks ass.

ElasticSearch is back up at phpc.social, now with 1024MB of JVM heap space as lack of heap space was the issue. Full text search is re-indexing now in the background and will likely take all day to finish.
#MastoAdmin

phpc.social is now on Mastodon v4.4.5, released a little over an hour and a half ago.
We're aware of full text search issues due to ElasticSearch being cranky and will post another update when that's fixed.
#mastoAdmin

Forgot to mention this earlier when I performed the upgrade but phpc.social is now on Mastodon v4.4.8. #mastoAdmin
