RE: mastodon.social/@Mastodon/1167…

I will start installing Mastodon v4.6.0 on Masto.host.

There will be about 30 seconds of downtime during the upgrade.

Changelog: github.com/mastodon/mastodon/r…

in reply to Masto.host

Upgrade installed!

Everyone running on Masto.host is now on Mastodon v4.6.0.

Any issues or questions, please let me know.

Thanks 🐘

@adachika192 Mastodon v4.6.0 changed significantly and the custom CSS needs to be made compatible. You can make the changes required or look for a new CSS that works on this version.

@adachika192 yes, sorry about that. Hope you find a solution or maybe just temporarily revert to not using Custom CSS until you can fix the issues.

Thank you for the rapid rollout! 👏

About the newsletter feature, can we switch that on or do we need to pay an extra fee first? I don't want to overwhelm your resources 🙂

in reply to Grow Your Own Services 🌱

@homegrown No problem :)

Regarding the newsletter feature, for now, there will be no charge. I will let people use it and see how it goes. If it gets too crazy in terms of the number of emails sent, then I might need to create an add-on for that. But for now, I don't mind if there is a medium increase in the SMTP volume included in the plans.

I'm sometimes a tad astounded at how quickly you get on top of updates. :targrus_salute:
in reply to Targrus

@targrus Ah! Thank you so much. I try to be fast, and lately the upgrades have been running smoothly 🤞
in reply to Masto.host

This is a big, awesome update. Wow.

I'd love to come back to your service (especially with the new newsletter feature), but it seems that sportsbots.xyz is blocked? I couldn't get updates from any of the bots after I changed domains. So sadly, I left.

Hopefully, we can work this out. I miss having my own server.

@janerationx Yes, it's a pretty great update! :)

I don't have any block for any instances or IPs. So, I don't think there should be a problem with my infrastructure. Looking at some sportsbots.xyz account on Mastodon.social (not on Masto.host), I also don't see recent posts. Not sure if the problem is some incompatibility or a problem with sportsbots.xyz, but from my end, I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work if everything else is federating correctly.

in reply to Masto.host

I'm on the mas.to server and the bots work fine here. When I had my janerationx.social server with you, they worked. When I switched domains to janerationx.me, I stopped getting posts. Couldn't figure out why.

Thanks for responding.

in reply to J 🏴‍☠️

@janerationx Yes, strange. If ever you get another instance on Masto.host and it doesn't work, let me know and we can look deeper into it but can't promise it will work.

But even now, if you want to send me a link to a recent post from one of the bots, ideally a bot that posts frequently, I can do some testing on my end.

in reply to Masto.host

Thank you!
This might be a @Mastodon issue and not a Mastohost issue (or a me issue?), but I'm not allowed to add accounts from other servers to collections. I've tried it on mastodon.social too, and I'm not able to add accounts from my server to collections there either.
The accounts I'm testing have opted in to discovery.

in reply to Arne D. S. Haldorsen

@ahaldorsen What happens when you try to add the account(s)? I just tried on my personal instance to add your account to a test collection, and it showed up, and I was able to add it to the list.
in reply to Masto.host

It seems to work for me too now, without having changed anything. Maybe the Collections compatibility status (server version?) takes some time to federate or something?

A thing I noticed: first time, when I'm searching for the start of an account (for example @ahaldorsen) I'm not allowed to add it. But it works after writing the server (for example @ahaldorsen).

in reply to Arne D. S. Haldorsen

@ahaldorsen OK, glad it's working. Don't get why it didn't before. But probably hard to determine now, since it cleared.

Regarding the other issue, likely some weird issue. Maybe it's a code case to look for and report on github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i… if you want to dive into that.
