Today I've opened pixelfed.netzgemeinde.eu for registrations. Pixelfed is a federated free plattform for sharing fotos, see https://mark.nowiasz.de/pixelfed-en.html . Have fun

I am already on a different instance but it is good see them more and more around.

@HansWolters That's the idea of federation

Doesn't make much sense in everyone being on one monster instance...

... says the guy running the monster hub

.

No criticism intended. Thanks for running said hub, it's a good place to refer new people to

@Tanja Well, I can't help it if the other hub admins aren't running such an efficient hub as mine

OK, this is a little bit unfair, I'm doing this for a living, however I have written a guide how to supercharge Hubzilla

Coole Sache, vielen Dank.
Mal schauen, was man da so findet und sieht und vor allem machen kann...

(To be honest, I would appreciate it if there would be more (large or small) open hubs... the idea of federation is decentralization, not a couple of large hubs. On the other hand it takes some admin skills to have a efficien hub running.. although it's a breeze and a walk in the park compared to running s synapse homeserver)

Guide? Where please?

I am running my own hub too but only approve certain people since it is running on a raspberry with only 2 GB of memory. It seems to run fine but with some 100 contacts it might go wild every now and then

@HansWolters A raspberry is little bit underpowered 🙂

My hub currently runs on 6 Xeon cores, 32 GB RAM and 600 GB SSD, the hub's database is about 143 GB.

Anyway, here's my guide: https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/articles/buckaroo/ef2110301dc5c6e5

It's a little bit outdated, the patch mentioned is part of Hubzilla now

Thanks, I will have a closer look.

True, underpowered, it is a hobby for me, not a heavy unix machine that should host numbers of vm's

https://wolke7.digitalesparadies.de/ runs on a Raspi4. Ok for few people that have not many contacts.

Enabled file storage for the sessions now. Let's wait and see

@Einer von Vielen that is how I meant to run it too but people seem to connect to me a bit more. Currenlty just over 100 contacts and that is fine.

I might switch to one with more memory b.t.w., if this one (2GB) runs 'fine' I can take it a bit further

Meanwhile the load is dropping but that might be due the time and day
