Finally updated my instance for the first time in...a while. Does anyone have a good #prometheus exporter config for #opentelemetry? I was relying on #statsd before.

Love the lack of propper media cache tooling on mastodon.
No way to clear whatever just pushed over 4GB of media across the fediverse

Dear #mastoadmins, I'd like to improve the current setup using #caddy and #podman #compose. Is anyone using #podman #quadlet with #systemd? Also I understand that having the connection between caddy reverse proxy and mastodon via sockets is very cool and I'd like to give this a try as well […]

what's wrong with mastodon.sdf.org? And who is TomCox? I suspect TomCox is flooding every instance (at least gts instances) with their requests

Unfortunately you must enable this yourself by adding `FETCH_REPLIES_ENABLED=true` to your .env.example file.
