GoToSocialWhat's that coming over the hill, is it a monster? Is it a monster?Yes actually, it's version 0.19.0 of <a href="https://gts.superseriousbusiness.org/tags/gotosocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoToSocial</a>, aka Seditious Sloth 😈! It's busted out of the release candidacy process and it's ready to kick some ass.You can get the release from here:<a href="https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.19.0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.19.0</a>Or use either the <code>latest</code> or <code>0.19.0</code> Docker tag.The update contains several database migrations, so please read the migration notes carefully for instructions on how to upgrade to this version!Release highlights<ul><li>OAuth token scope enforcement: Token scopes (<code>read</code>, <code>write</code> etc) now actually do stuff! So we removed the big "scopes don't do stuff!" warning in the docs. The enforced scopes match the Mastodon API token scopes, so there shouldn't be any surprises for bot owners / app developers. See <a href="https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/api/swagger/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/api/swagger/</a> for more info.</li><li>Token review / invalidation: You can now review and invalidate tokens issued for your account in the settings panel, to help keep your account secure. Docs: <a href="https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/user_guide/settings/#access-tokens" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/user_guide/settings/#access-tokens</a></li><li>Create and manage applications in the settings panel: Handy for people who want to run bots and applications with GoToSocial!

Security! Docs: <a href="https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/user_guide/settings/#two-factor-authentication" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/user_guide/settings/#two-factor-authentication</a></li><li>Lots of web view tweaks including nicer media rendering on chrome, proper blurhash support, much better support for keyboard-based page navigation, wider font support for different scripts, tidier status info bar, and more.</li><li>OAuth bugfixes should allow more flexibility and compatibility when logging in with or authorizing third-party applications.</li><li><a href="https://bandwagon.fm/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">bandwagon.fm compatibility fixes</a>: you can now follow Bandwagon.fm artists from your GoToSocial account and receive posts / announcements from them.</li><li>Edit domain permissions: you can now edit the obfuscate and public and private comment fields in domain permissions (blocks/allows) instead of having to remove and recreate the permission to update the comments.</li></ul>

unattributedJust a quick post testing out the <a href="https://gotosocial.social/tags/hai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hai</a>! <a href="https://gotosocial.social/tags/client" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#client</a> with <a href="https://gotosocial.social/tags/gotosocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GotoSocial</a>. Seems to be working nicely, overall.

AJ SadauskasSomething interesting I just discovered about <a href="https://gts.superseriousbusiness.org/@gotosocial" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@gotosocial</a> and <a href="https://flipboard.social/@Flipboard" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Flipboard</a>, as well as @nextcloud@mastodon.xyz. It seems that while Flipboard accounts accounts are visible from GtS, the Flipboard app's Mastodon beta feature doesn't allow me to login through connected accounts. I'm curious: Is that because of a setting in GtS? A limitation in how GtS handles Mastodon clients? Or Flipboard's implementation of Mastodon? On a separate note, there is a Nextcloud plugin that adds Mastodon support (mostly it's just recent posts on your dashboard, plus a link to Mastodon in the apps menu). And that does work with GtS. <a href="https://gts.sadauskas.id.au/tags/nextcloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NextCloud</a> <a href="https://gts.sadauskas.id.au/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> <a href="https://gts.sadauskas.id.au/tags/gotosocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoToSocial</a> <a href="https://gts.sadauskas.id.au/tags/flipboard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Flipboard</a>

Jeff SikesI've successfuly moved my Pixelfed content over to a new account thanks to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Slurp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Slurp</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GoToSocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoToSocial</a>. But, I can't migrate my account followers because of this Pixelfed bug. Specifically, I am getting `Invalid account lookup response` returned from Pixelfed after submitting the migration request. It's only a slight annoyance as I only had a few followers. But it's stuff like this that makes me twitch when someone says "you can just move your account".<a href="https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/4858" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/4858</a>

JoolsQuite chuffed with myself. I’ve set up a Virtual Private Server and managed to install GoToSocial, Nextcloud and Collabora Online. I feel like a real techie!! 🧑🏻‍💻 Did it for no other reason than I wanted to try something new. The VPS cost me less than a fiver (I just did a month so I could try it out). I’ve been using Nextcloud for a while, now I have my own instance.Why?Just because. I might use GoToSocial for my journal. But again, I’ll test the waters and see where that goes. I might even use it to document my self-hosting ‘journey’. <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/vps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vps</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/NextCloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NextCloud</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/GoToSocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoToSocial</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#selfhosting</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/selfhosted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#selfhosted</a>

Elena Rossini ⁂✨ The magic of 22 ✨December 22, 2024: I installed <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GoToSocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoToSocial</a> on my Debian VPS thanks to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/YunoHost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YunoHost</a> → <a href="https://aseachange.com/@elena" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@elena</a> February 22, 2025: I installed <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ghost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ghost</a> on my Ubuntu VPS using command lines (so many sudo commands!) April 22, 2025: I upgraded my Debian VPS and installed <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PeerTube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PeerTube</a>! Very excited about this new chapter in my <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#selfhosting</a> adventures... and I need to find a worthy challenge for June 22 🤗<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MySoCalledSudoLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MySoCalledSudoLife</a>

Elena Rossini on GoToSocial ⁂🏕️ my adventures in <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#selfhosting</a> - day 126 (good luck charm edition) 🍀Good morning Fedi friends!Yesterday I flew back to Paris and I’m spending the week at my in-laws' with my extended family… my little one still has one more week of school holidays. Working is a little difficult with so many people around (especially children) but I have a lofty goal for today: upgrading my VPS and installing <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/peertube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PeerTube</a>.The 22nd of the month has been my good luck charm in my self-hosting adventures. I installed <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/gotosocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoToSocial</a> (this account) via <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/yunohost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YunoHost</a> on December 22nd, 2024. I successfully installed <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/ghost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ghost</a> on my Ubuntu VPS with command lines on February 22, 2025. Because of that, I will be saving 30€/month…So in the spirit of <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOSS</a> exploration, I find it fitting to upgrade my VPS today on April 22… and - my oh my! - install PeerTube via YunoHost… so that I can self-host my upcoming videos about the Fediverse.The children are playing in the garden and I have about 30 minutes to do all that. Wish me luck!<a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/mysocalledsudolife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MySoCalledSudoLife</a>

tobi is writing bugs :terminal_cursor:if you run a <a href="https://gts.superseriousbusiness.org/tags/gotosocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoToSocial</a> instance that welcomes new sign ups, consider asking <a href="https://from.thefedi.wiki/@hello" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@hello</a> to add your GtS instance to the list here: <a href="https://thefedi.wiki/gotosocial/user/gotosocial-servers" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://thefedi.wiki/gotosocial/user/gotosocial-servers</a>

Robert KingettHey <a href="https://social.chinwag.org/@FediThing" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@FediThing</a> were you looking for this? A list of open <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/GoToSocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoToSocial</a> instances? Someone was a year ago ish and I finally found it after digging! <a href="https://thefedi.wiki/gotosocial/user/gotosocial-servers" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://thefedi.wiki/gotosocial/user/gotosocial-servers</a>

AJ SadauskasHuge thanks to everyone who forwarded that message the other day! 💖✨ My small, single-user <a href="https://gts.superseriousbusiness.org/@gotosocial" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@gotosocial</a> server now federates with 8,367 other servers across the Fediverse, which is just remarkable! <a href="https://gts.sadauskas.id.au/tags/gotosocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoToSocial</a> <a href="https://gts.sadauskas.id.au/tags/selfhoster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#selfhoster</a>

Robert KingettOut of curiosity, does anyone know if <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/GoToSocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoToSocial</a> fetches all replies to <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/ActivityPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActivityPub</a> posts in a conversation/tree/whatever it's called? I keep thinking of the constant issue where Mastodon has the reply guy problem, partially, because replies are constantly missing and not fetched, and since I'm getting the hang of webhooks and API's I figured I could move to GTS at some point and have my little auto postings work there. Buffer doesn't work with it directly but that's not a huge loss. <a href="https://gts.superseriousbusiness.org/@dumpsterqueer" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@dumpsterqueer</a>

Brooks<a href="https://gts.sadauskas.id.au/@aj" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@aj</a> I could use a Boost here as well. I'm also <a href="https://social.brookslawson.com/tags/selfhosted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#selfhosted</a> on <a href="https://social.brookslawson.com/tags/gotosocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gotosocial</a>.

Jimmy SjölundIn the time of moving to federated services I'm curious about setting up my own <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/hubzilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hubzilla</a> or <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gotosocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gotosocial</a>, having your own instance seems like a good idea these days. However, centralised services have (usually) more and better equipped people to take care of security than myself. So, how to weigh those against each other before sharing photos and personal thoughts to the world?

Todd Alström<a href="https://gts.sadauskas.id.au/@aj" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@aj</a> How are you liking <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GoToSocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoToSocial</a> vs. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a>?

AJ SadauskasI've got a quick favour to ask. If you're reading this post on Mastodon (or the Fediverse), please click boost. How come? I recently moved across to my own self-hosted single-user server (using GoToSocial.org). For a bunch of reasons, including visibility across the Fedi, it would really help out. <a href="https://gts.sadauskas.id.au/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> <a href="https://gts.sadauskas.id.au/tags/fedihelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediHelp</a> <a href="https://gts.sadauskas.id.au/tags/gotosocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gotosocial</a> <a href="https://gts.sadauskas.id.au/tags/mastohelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastohelp</a>

Jon<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@zak" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@zak</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/@Em0nM4stodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Em0nM4stodon</a> There are some downsides to a single user instance, but <a href="https://gts.lylapol.com/tags/gotosocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoToSocial</a> is pretty easy to spin up compared to Mastodon. I've been enjoying having full control over my instance.

90s Craig 🎢Does anyone have any experience self hosting GoToSocial? Any issues federating with mastodon?I'm happy with my current mastodon provider, but resource wise it seems really inefficient for my single user instance. <a href="https://pb.craignt.com/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#selfhosting</a> <a href="https://pb.craignt.com/tags/gotosocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gotosocial</a> <a href="https://pb.craignt.com/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastodon</a>

tobi is writing bugs :terminal_cursor:OK my dicking about with <a href="https://gts.superseriousbusiness.org/tags/gotosocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoToSocial</a> status stats stuff (try saying that quickly) has been reasonably fruitful:<a href="https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/pull/4021" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/pull/4021</a>It looks OK! It doesn't wrap as much on small screens! It doesn't put "engagement" numbers right at the fore anymore, which is good! I learned some stuff about CSS I didn't know!
