Recently, I set up #gancio using #docker for my local community. So far, it works perfectly…. But: I have to use a mail proxy for sending emails, that does not require any authentication. Gancio however seems to support smtp only with authentication, requiring the mail proxy to support it. I can’t get it to work using sendmail either…
Does anyone have any tips on how to solve this problem? Did I miss a setting in Gancio?
Thank you very much in advance for your time!

Is there any sort of protocol on how to gracefully terminate a fediverse instance or do I just shut it down and go "we're offline now lol" and ¯\_(ツ)_/¯?
I'm asking because I set up a Pixelfed instance for my gf a while back and the software seems pretty awful and so we haven't really used it and we decided it's better to drop it than to sink money and time and effort into the hosting.

#fediadmin do yall know of a good way of debugging why a GTS instance (fedi.cuties.zip) would be “invisible” to a Mastodon instance? the GTS instance sees the masto instance(s) i have tested, but not the other way around. meanwhile, akkoma, iceshrimp and many others have no problems whatsoever. it may be related to the instance not being reachable on v4 originally, but that should be resolved now. both masto instances report a 404 when queried very explicitly for a user on the GTS instance.

My friend rsync and I moved my little #snac to a different #hetzner Cloudserver with no downtime. The secret is: Prepare the move by setting the TTL for the DNS record to a few minutes a few days before the move. #snacyadmin #fediadmin

Für fedisocial.de habe ich ja die Idee, dass man sich z.B. per Mastodon registriert (mit Bestaetigung) und dann n8n daher geht und die zum Approval stehende Registrierung nutzt, um den User im LDAP-Backend einzurichten.
Das wuerde aber bedeuten, dass sich alle ueber Mastodon registrieren muessten, um einen Account im LDAP zu haben, auch wenn sie gar kein Mastodon nutzen wollen.
Hat sonst noch jemand eine Idee? Gibt es vielleicht ein Open Source Tool, was Registrierungen macht und den Account dann im LDAP provisionieren kann, z.B. per Script?

And now the question is: are the services still federating? Given it was basically a whole day offline (not really, but) some other services I'm subscribed to might have deleted my connection...
Only one way to find out: shout into the void and hope for the best.

RE: https://mastodon.iftas.org/@iftas/116200438457413508
It took only four days for @iftas original advice of "block hf.space entirely" to prove itself!
I was expecting at least a few weeks.

The problem is the default for mastodon and others is flawed and thus dysfunctional for many instances.
I'm personally reaching out to such admins and users. Often it is neglected.
@technik posted a nice guide

#fediadmin please take it seriously.

hey, I saw genAI scam bots federating via ActivityPub using hf.space subdomains, so be careful

Fediverse admins with public servers,
If you want extra advice and info for screening new members wanting to join your server, there's a list of resources compiled by @iftas at:
🌱 https://about.iftas.org/library/url-domain-and-ip-reputation-resources
The resources cover IP addresses, email providers and web addresses. The web address section could also be used for moderating links on platforms that support this.
(Thank you to @Crazypedia for raising this topic and @iftas for providing the resources 🙏 )

Hey @FediTips@social.growyourown.services, I've been thinking lately about drawing up some documentation for folk to use on the Fediverse. @xaetacore and I have noticed lately that there is a rather toxic culture surrounding #fediblock and have wanted to write some guides to help the users on instances curate their own experience on the Fediverse rather than relying solely on the moderation of their instance to do so.
We hope to supplement and improve existing moderation efforts rather than replace them entirely. It is our hope that by prompting a shift in the responsibility of curating content from instances to their users. Instance operators and their moderation won't feel compelled to act as an arbiter of philosophy by selecting which content may and may not be seen beyond the scope of generally agreed upon illegal or egregious content.
Instead, offering more user agency by providing the tooling, framework and guidance through which they can curtail undesirable content without sorting to suspending entire instances at the expense of the users on there that have done nothing wrong.
Would you be interested in promoting or boosting such efforts?
