About us

๐Ÿค— Thanks for joining our little instance here, located in Oregon. The idea is to have a fast, stable instance and allow users to subscribe to whatever content they want from here.

๐Ÿ˜Ž We dont block any other instances. We will keep it that way unless it becomes a moderation problem.

๐Ÿค  We will be around for a very long time, so you dont have to worry about us shutting down the instance anytime soon. We like performance and stability in our servers, and will upgrade the instance when its needed.

๐Ÿฅน Make sure to join a lot of remote communities to get a good feed going. How to do that is explained here.

You should start using one of these ASAP since the web browser user interface is quite ugly, even with themes.

deploying the fediverse instance-instance communication(or just to peer) on top of an overlay-network like yggdrasil, using their addresses as domain names, may be a quick fix without having to change the paradigm (while remaining compatible with the normal way)

so that the accounts are associated with that address(instead of a domain)
plus, once inside such a system, there would never be a need for any other migration

Yggdrasil as a VPN alternative (yggdrasil-network.github.io)

I've been accessing my servers over Yggdrasil for the last few years and I never see it mentioned in self hosting communities, so here you go !

Yggdrasil works over IPv6 and brings encryption at the network interface level (similarly to a VPN). The cool thing is that your IP address is derived from your private key, so when you try to connect to a specific IP, your packets are encrypted so that ONLY the destination server can decrypt it (thus preventing MITM attacks). And as everything is encrypted at the NIC level, you can safely use plain text protocols ;)

How cool is that ?
