@spacehost_help No worries, as I noted, it did come back this time, but it might be a sign that we need to see if'n I'm pushing the limits

@spacehost_help Looks like my instance (blog.taursnd.haus) went down again, did we run out of space or something again? Is there an in between plan? I'm thinking the bottom tier isn't big enough, but the next step seems a bit too big and definitely too expensive.

@spacehost_help Came back up again on it's own, but considering that I've had a few minor hiccups, I suppose it's a good time to review and see if'n I need to make adjustments.

@spacehost_help Thank you. I do have another relay, https://mastodon-relay.thedoodleproject.net/actor to add. I'll be watching the performance, at least in as much as I can, for any issues, though I've been running the first two here which is a basic $20 level hosted Mastodon instance without issue, so problems aren't likely.

@spacehost_help Make that two: https://relay.tiggi.es/actor

@spacehost_help OK, only one relay for now, https://relay.asonix.dog/actor

@spacehost_help it'll need reverting, I tried that already including trying my phone browser

@spacehost_help Yeah, I did finally manage to dig it out of the Friendica manual, that thing is not user friendly, and the search function is terrible. Any how, thanks, I'll let you know on the relays soon, thanks.

@spacehost_help Umm, need a little help (and I'm an idiot). Decided to try one of the new themes using the admin account, and now all I get is a blank screen. I think I'd better create a spare account for testing, that way if this happens again I can just delete it.

@spacehost_help It's a little hard to explain relays, but this page covers it well: https://fedi.tips/using-relays-to-quickly-expand-a-servers-view-of-the-fediverse/ Short version, it helps new instances Federate faster. The ones I use here are all invite only so I'd have to get permission to use them over there, but once I do, https://wiki.friendi.ca/docs/initicalconfiguration explains how to set them up.
For themes while I am thinking of making one of my own, there is this repository of them: https://github.com/tonybaldwin/friendica-themes-extra if'n you just want to make more choices available

@spacehost_help Oh, I just realized that my original three questions never got answered what with sorting out the server issue, and I get to have a fourth, is there anything you can do about RSS issues? I'm getting an error when I try to add Tumblr RSS feeds saying the type couldn't be identified.

@spacehost_help Umm... I broke it again, so I can't check. Yeah, might need an upgrade if'n this'll keep up.

@spacehost_help I think it's related to the RSS feature, I'd added an RSS feed not more ten minutes before it went down this time.

@spacehost_help That might've been because I transferred over my friends list though I made a mistake so I think it has a few extra friends on there. it should settle down once it catches up, I know with Friendica that tends to be an issue, I think it's trying to sync everything ever from them. That and I was doing customization, adding a user, turning on plug ins (if there's a way to tell if'n one of those is causing a problem, let me know in case one's behaving badly).

@spacehost_help blog.taursnd.haus which we"re getting a 502 error on

@spacehost_help Hello, I just set up a Friendica with you, and have three questions:
1•Can I have some relays set up on my instance? I did that with this instance as a fast way to get a good connection to the Fediverse
2•Can I get more themes on my instance, particularly I'm considering designing my own, although there is a collection available.
3• Will the version of Friendica be updated? Looks like a rather old version currently.

••Thanks

Need some admin help here, I get the attached image when going to /moderation/federation to manage my block list. Obviously something's broken, but my host has no idea how to fix this, so does anyone out there know?
