I made an announcement in the Meta channel about Mastodon being back: https://forums.devanooga.com/threads/mastodon-is-back-yall.101/

but it's been a trudge to get fully up and running 100%.
So far known issues:
We still have approvals needed on the instance but let us know in Slack if you're waiting too long!
Devanooga's Mastodon Instance

but it's been a trudge to get fully up and running 100%.
- First I set up a Mastodon instance for Chattanooga Digital
- Well dang with this newer Portainer setup, Devanooga's will be easier to manage
- Port it over, clean it up more (LLMs have done an awful job of generating decent docker compose files)
- Set up an S3 bucket for Devanooga (yay)
- Move the database, upgrade it
- Move the storage from local to S3
- Why can't I interact with anything
- Turn off limited federation (oops)
- Whoops, accidentally popped the docker container to another node due to policies, move all the s3 stuff over
- https://social.devanooga.com/deck/@StrangeWill/115606080145265884
- Run full clean-ups on all media
So far known issues:
- If you have images/avatars/etc. from people from old dead servers, we can't get their avatars back, they're not in our cache
- Good luck on people you followed like 3 years ago
We still have approvals needed on the instance but let us know in Slack if you're waiting too long!
