Anyone here use #WriteFreely? I've just set up a self-hosted WriteFreely blog as a first experiment with self-hosting instances and using @yunohost (huge thanks to @_elena for your tips! 🥰)At least from initial setup, it looks like only the first line of the post and a link is pulling across to Mastodon.Is there any way to make the full post text visible on Mastodon?I can see who's following the blog, but not any comments. Any way to turn on notifications for this?Also, is there any way to follow an account from WriteFreely? (I'm interested, because it would in theory allow me to follow BridgyFed, and make the posts visible on BlueSky.)Are these limitations of the platform? Or is there a setting somewhere I missed?#Fediverse #SelfHosting #FediHelp

The enshittification of Spotify continues. You signed up to pay $10 a month to hear your favourite artists.After taking your money, they began slowly substituting real artists with muzak. https://www.honest-broker.com/p/the-ugly-truth-about-spotify-is-finally?r=1licy&utm_medium=ios&triedRedirect=true#music #Spotify #enshittification

The past few days, I've been toying with the idea of setting up a single-user Mastodon instance.I'm currently looking at Masto.host as a hosting provider. The prices seem reasonable?First, for those who have rolled their own instance: How has the experience been? Any advice you'd share with a self-hosting newbie? Any pitfalls or downsides?Have you gone with a specialist managed prover like Masto.host? Are there any major advantages or disadvantages over a vanilla cPanel web hosting provider that supports Mastodon?Another option I'm toying with is using a single instance of Friendica as my Fedi home, and consolidating everything there, including photos.Are there any managed hosting providers that support Friendica? #Fediverse #FediHelp #Mastodon
