A step-by-step visual tutorial for newbies about installing and setting up the federated microblogging service GoToSocial
irmadlad@lemmy.world 2 months ago I don’t think I’m going to be spinning up a GoToSocial anytime soon, OP. But some good info none the less. Thank you for sharing.
mesamunefire@piefed.social@piefed.social 2 months ago Its perfectly fine not to. If you like the old twitter like interface and folling “people” rather than “topics” (like lemmy/piefed does), then you would like GTS. If the answer is no, keep using your fediverse that you like.
But yeah its relatively unique instructions specifically for Yunohost is what makes this article a good one.
Hope you have an awesome day!

I certainly hope you do as well.
YuNoHost’s implementation of GoToSocial has a “not totally free” license: github.com/YunoHost-Apps/…/LICENSE
GoToSocial itself is AGPL 3.0 only, so I don’t know what’s up with YuNoHost there.
Cloudflare check. Yak.
Thank you for bringing this up! This is Elena, the author of the blog blog.elenarossini.com.
My Ghost blog is being hosted by Magic Pages… when I signed up last year they had a fully European stack (Bunny CDN) - something that is incredibly important to me.
Recently they moved from BunnyCDN to Cloudflare to keep costs down (prices had skyrocketed). I have no saying in this, but I understand Jannis and his team.
Magic Pages takes care of all the software updates and offers amazing support (plus it would cost me 2x to self-host it… I made the calculations).
And for the record, my personal website - which I self-host - uses BunnyCDN: elenarossini.com
Thank you for your reply. But if you can self-host your personal website, why don’t you self-host Ghost?
irmadlad@lemmy.world 2 months ago Didn’t down vote ya, but the very forum you posted to utilizes Cloudflare. It doesn’t seem to be that nauseating.
dsilverz@catodon.rocks 2 months ago the very forum you posted to utilizes CloudflareThe difference (and the bright side of the Fediverse) is that Fediverse is decentralized so, while some instances can have Cloudflare or similar algorithms (e.g. Anubis) in place, other instances without said algorithms can still interact without having to go through said algorithms. The OC's instance does neither use Cloudflare nor Anubis (lemmy.ml used to use Anubis, but the admins seem to have turned it off).
mesamunefire@piefed.social@piefed.social 2 months ago Does lemmy.world use cloudflare?
Also im confused, is there a reason people dont like cloudflare? Other than eating up caching for the entire internet of course?

Just saying: If you need a step for step tutorial to make something available worldwide, you shouldn’t.
There is a reason why an apprenticeship for sysAdmin (not even going into software engeneering) is 3 years of school and work full time.
Also, as someone who has actually gone into this kinda deep, it is simply not feasable to actively maintain your system for CVEs, hardware and software, and still work AND have a social life.
