Sorry about the availability of my pod this week folks! π₯ First was a storm and power issue to my server room. Sexond is a bug we need to figure out and fix π€

Good thing weβre decentralized π

it's all good mate. I wasn't even worried, I think because A. you've mentioned it's self hosted before and B. overall yeah we're decentralised. It's nice not having that anxiety one might get from a big silo when they have downtime, wondering if they've finally kicked the bucket and all your data is gone.
@eldersnake Thanks man! π€ Yeah I agree re decentralised, I like we have more pods today, even single-user ones like @xuu 's π As we're in a "rebranding" phase at the moment, that's our main focus, but over time I hope to see more pods, even more multi-user ones like my own so my own power/storm issues aren't as noticeable π€£ -- Although I do plan to buy a Rack-mounted USP for my server room before the next storm season next year.

@prologic i would like to host my own pod at some point. Not sure how the migration would go but with the simplicity of twtxt.txt I imagine if wouldn't be hard.
but yes, looking forward to the rebranding π
@eldersnake I've always had undocumented (_well Iv'e talked about it here a few times_) about a way to migrate from one pod to another easily. So you would spin up your pod, and go to your settings and hit a button/form that lets you "import" your feed from elsewhere. All you have to do is then go post to your old/original feed with a "code" you were given to prove you own it / can post to it and the your new pod/account wil go suck that down and merge it with your new one.

The only reason I haven't done it yet, is not enough folks have come setup an accountΒ on my pod, then wanted to migrate away to their own pod (yet) π€£

Folks like you and @eldersnake spinning up your own pods. It's a convenience thing, I _totally_ get why for example some folks just either don't mind using someone else's pod or can't be bothered or whatever. Whilst other folks care a lot more about the data being on their own server(s) / infra. It's all good, its designed this way, easily self-host(able), we'll provide hosted pods, or use a friend's pod.

@prologic @eldersnake I might spin up a pod at some point, I have a lot of work to do tho, I don't want to manage a pod now, I would like to buy a domain at some point, I would like maybe to manage a Romanian pod but for now it's convenient I agree.

And to be clear, it's okay π€ You're (_and anyone really_) are welcome to join and actively use my pod, that's why it's here π I guess we need to get through this rebranding first, then see how we can reposition ourselves, maybe do a little word-of-mouth marketing π€£

@prologic Aren't there some features like discoverability that don't work as well on single user pods? I ran my own mastodon instance and it felt pretty isolating.
@will The feature are still the same! Seems to work out okay for @xuu βΊοΈ

@xuu @prologic Cool I'm definitely going to try this in the futute.
