@silverpill I'm going to answer in a couple of messages. Firstly from my account on socialhome.network if I search for myself on Mitra or for you the user is not found. However if I search for a friend on Mastodon as soon as I enter the name I see his profile page with a '+' to follow.

@silverpill secondly, I can successfully search for and follow the socialhome user from my Mitra instances. However I don't see anything I publish on socialhome, even if it has an explicit mention.

Similarly if I mention my socialhome user in Mitra I don't see the post in socialhome.

Hmm .. Mitra doesn't seem to talk with Socialhome.

@silverpill @japananon Using the bleakfuture docker images it was completely painless.

I then had to modify my backup script where it called
podman exec -it pod1mitra mitra list-local-files

> But it should work everywhere if we make the public part top level and post subscriber-only content as a reply.

That would work nicely in most front-ends if the topnlevel post is a headline and preface. For subscribers it would give them enough to see whether it not they wanted to read the article and for non-subscibers it would act as a 'teaser'.

@silverpill @grishka This is true, but you would see the result of an algorithm applied to the subset of Fediverse posts that the relay applies to. If a relay were to subscribe to a large number of other relays and servers and effectively cover the Fediverse, would it end up as resource-hungry as Bluesky? I suspect the resource requirements for three AT protocol are because of the design decision to act like non-frderated systems, where if an algorithm boosts your post it is boosted for everyone with similar interests.

I can see the possibility of topic based relays in a federated environment. These relays would have to be able to say to other relays and instances "give me everything related to Chipmunks" or whatever, and collect a smaller stream of relevant posts from a larger number of sources. This might be more scalable.

@silverpill @mikedev I'm far from an expert, but could it be so that you can add multiple account aliases if consolidating several Fediverse accounts into one?

@silverpill I'll give that a go later, but from a practical point of view, if I ever run anything more than a personal instance, when backing up files id probably add all the files from the last few days as well as local ones (find . -mtime -7) to improve user experience.

@silverpill
If you delete a remote cached file should the system reload it from remote if you view the post? This doesn't appear to be happening. After reading the backup and restore process I deleted a file

rm volumes/web/media/9d93aad389b07cd86222c3c8d46b9bedd58fcaea66a6a4d6c6d738e6e01106a4.jpg

This image is still missing when I redisplay the post.
