  • Any public Pixelfed instance that allows Instagram import?

    Jump

  • @Kkk2237pl Can I suggest that success here is modifying and building on existing tools that work with other existing tools and making them work better.

    For example - I found git.sr.ht/cloutier/dotmakeup #dotmakeup by @vincent - which can pull instagram and twitter posts and syndicate them. #Friendica has add on that post to Twitter - so my thinking is that adding #dotmakup tools into Friendica would help allow users to migrate to Friendica while maintaining connections via Twitter and Instagram

    Dropping back a bit Friendica works really well on #Yunohost - making #Yunohost easier to run on a homerouter as a drop in replacement for ISP supplied routers would mean that it would be easier for people to buy a bit of kit, take it home , turn it on , have their own ActivityPub server running fairly quickly and be linked into those existing communities (both ActivityPub and commercial)

  • @Kkk2237pl Can I suggest that you start with something simple where as much as possible is templated - im like a broken record on this but i use #yunohost simply because heaps of people are using the same config.

  • @Kkk2237pl Im no expert so you know take everything with a grain of salt but for me i flash all my routers with #openwrt including #tplink stuff... Butnthat gives me everything i need.

    You probably do.everything with stock firmware though

  • @Kkk2237pl What are you using for a router? A good uptodate version of something like ooenwrt, a separate subnet running on a different vnet and firewall zone.

    Why the vps?

  • @kiol Ah .. critically here I'm not talking about Oracle free accounts - its just VMs with Oracle - but they are low cost - really though it doesn't matter what provider you are using - they key is to have more instances (to provide backup and redudancy for each individual resource) - that could include onpremise low cost instances

  • @geoma I'm really interested in what you are doing. Are you aware of coopcloud.tech ? this is designed to make deloyment of apps across multiple servers. My thought was that perhaps you could go wider but deeper and offer to setup a series of Yunhost instances - and then federating them (Nextcloud, ActivityPub etc) for each organisation?

    You could then use more basic tech at each location / for each organisation and get the benefit of them providing backup to each other.

    Id actually been looking at doing this for sailingclubs - They need Web/Customer Relationship -Membership Management as well social media integration.

    If you are engaging with people who are currently on Insta etc. you may also need to look at something like #Postiz postiz.com/ - to message out to FB , Insta etc and include links back to ActivityPub/Websites to encourage people to migrate.

  • @geoma @kiol That sounds like something that would be possible with #PAYG #Oraclecloud account - Most of the resources would come from allways free tier so you'd basically only end up paying for test intances and bits and pieces.

  • @geoma @Tealk You are running #yunohost like I am? What server reaourcew do you have? Running both Friendica and Pixelfed is an option but without knowing more about your situation...

  • @geoma Hey .. we talked on #Reddit - welcome. ¿Hablas español tambien? Great So I guess the idea would be to get some kind of requirements together.

    What system resources do you have?How important is it that your posts are IG like (that would as people say suggest pixelfed as the default option I am guesssing).

    What do you mean by Mastodon feeling 'kind of heavy'? Do you mean complicated or CPU, memory, storage heavy? - Regardless of what application you are considering the second point is more about who you want to be using the instance. I would strongly recommend that you limit it to friends and family - and for that (regardless of what software you are using) - the requirements aren't huge.

    I'm also going to mention @FediTips - who might be able make some suggestions but yeah .. more info please?

  • @geoma @Tealk I run #Friendica and #pixelfed on an instance of #Yunohost. Just for me, my friends and family. (Gosh I wasn't sure about the use of the reflexive first person pronoun there). But I guess that it really does depended on what the system requirements are and - taking into account the, engaging with people who are migrating from IG, requirement to. Are thoes people mainly using pixelfed?

  • @Shimitar @yunohost - / #yunohost has email hosting with dovecot and #spamhaus configured in it. There were some issues with spamhaus when running version 11 on vps but i read v12 fixed them.

  • @JubilantJaguar Yeah ... I get that a RSS feed might be useful (being Friendica I can consume that) but then I guess if I commented on a story is it better that it could be linked back - I suspect that these issues might just because of the evolving federation capabilites of Flipboard (I could be wrong) - But yeah maybe in the meantime I might find some RSS from @AssociatedPress

  • @palordrolap @brachiosaurus There are a few differences. Governments dont generally make announcements on a particular TV station but usually provide an open access press conference.

    Gov.uk is the 17th most visited site in UK in Dec 25- semrush.com/trending-websites/… - plenty of people visit that and its not even all of gov sites.
