Hello there!

Thank you for contacting #SpaceHost. To be assist with your requests, what is your domain name, please?

@boss @reiver

#SpaceHost uses Nginx instead of Apache, and the .htaccess file is specific to Apache.

Trying out a self-hosted #Akkomane instance using #SpaceHost and think I’ve found the first missing feature coming from #Mastodon: I’m not able to hide posts from accounts I put into lists from my home feed.

I use this quite a bit for creating news lists and those accounts can be pretty chatty so I don’t want it all over my home feed. Mastodon is able to do this, so I assume this is a limitation of Akkoma.

I may need a little bit of #Fedihelp.

I’m considering migrating backwards from Firefish to Mastodon. The “why” doesn’t matter. It’s something I’m contemplating for reasons.

I’m currently using #SpaceHost to run my single user Firefish instance, and my plan is to use them (or another) to host my single user Mastodon instance.

Same domain, btw.

I can’t find any info on this reverse migration. But it’s gotta be possible, right?

Self-hosting route requires specific technical expertise. Moreover, it is cost-intensive when hardware investments and extensive maintenance efforts come into play.

Here at #SpaceHost, we offer fully managed hosting at the moment, which encompasses convenience, expert support, steadfast reliability, robust security measures, meticulous management of backups, and substantial time and effort savings. All you need do is to moderate your server.

Hello there!

At #SpaceHost, we provide a comprehensive solution which is fully managed hosting.

Which Fediverse software do you reckon we'll support next?

Hey everyone, I wanted to give you a heads up that I've recently migrated my account from firefish.social to firefish.city. I thought I'd share a bit of background on why I made this move.

So, just to fill you in, firefish.social was actually the continuation of calckey.social, which I purchased last year. The reason behind this was that I was getting a bit frustrated with the number of people joining my original Calckey server, vancity.social, simply to try Calckey (now known as Firefish). You see, vancity.social was meant to be a community for Vancouver residents on the Fediverse. However, with so many non-residents creating accounts, I had concerns that it would lose its intended purpose.

To address this, I decided to buy the calckey.social domain so that there could be a general server for Calckey. This way, vancity.social could serve Vancouver residents, while calckey.social would be a place for those interested in trying out Calckey.

I shared this plan with the Calckey project and they were actually facing similar issues with other servers. They reached out to me and asked if we could collaborate on running calckey.social, and I happily agreed.

Well, to my surprise, calckey.social became a lot more successful than I ever anticipated. And its successor, firefish.social, continued that momentum. It's now the biggest Firefish server out there.

But now, I feel like firefish.social has outgrown me. It has different goals and needs, which is totally natural as things evolve. So, just like a proud parent, I'm saying goodbye to what feels like my child, with hopes that it will flourish and grow further in the future.

As for me, I'm moving on to a fresh new Firefish server. Similar to my personal server, atomicpoet.org, this new one will remain small and won't have open registrations.

There are a couple of reasons behind my choice to move to a new Firefish server. Firstly, I truly believe that the beauty of the Fediverse lies in the creation of new servers and the interconnectivity between them. It thrives when there are countless servers, each with their own unique communities.

Secondly, I simply enjoy the atmosphere of a small server. I've been operating atomicpoet.org, through #SpaceHost, for almost a year now and I find the cozy feel of a smaller Fediverse server quite appealing. Of course, this is purely a personal preference.

Lastly, I want to mention that I will continue supporting the Firefish project by making my monthly donations of $150. I hope that the development team keeps adding amazing new features to enhance the Firefish experience.

Thanks for taking the time to read this update, and if you have any questions or thoughts, feel free to reach out.

Hello there!

It's great to hear that you are on Mastodon! However, our email announced the launch of Mastodon server hosting on #SpaceHost.

Being a fully managed host server, #SpaceHost will provide comprehensive hosting services, taking care of all aspects of server management, such as server setup, maintenance, security, updates, backups, and troubleshooting.

If you have any specific questions related to fully managed hosting services, please feel free to ask.

The most common help question #SpaceHost receives is —

Setting up DNS

We had a suspicion this might be difficult for some people. And even have work
on our TODO list.

...

In addition to @spacehost_help being around to answer questions —

The first thing we are going to do to try to help is — write some How-To articles on setting up DNS on the most popular domain registrars.

After that, we are going to try to figure out a way for #SpaceHost to configure the DNS for you.

#SpaceHost should be releasing #Mastodon support Tuesday morning.
