I tried all the likely variations billstclair/feed, billstclair.atom, billstclair/rss. None works. I tried the same thing on impeccable.social, my personal Pleroma site. Nope.
@alex, do you have enough interest in this that I should create a GitLab issue?
If not, I could certainly make a PWA that would convert the JSON from a public feed (which user feeds are on most instances) to RSS.
@alex It appears that Elon interpreted that symbol as inciting violence, and suspended Ye’s account for 12 hours. Truth Social screen shots from Mammudeck, since it shows times (EST for me).
@alex@Moon Truth Social is already on the client side of the Fediverse. I read them with #Mammudeck (mostly for Catturd and Ted Nugent). But I don't think they federate with anybody, to keep heads from exploding there.
@davew@davew Mastodon is written in Ruby on Rails. It doesn't scale, except through expansion of hardware capability. Pleroma is written in Elixir, which runs on the Erlang virtual machine/library. Erlang/OTP was designed to run the Swiss cell phone network. Properly used, it scales. HUGE. I can't speak for whether the Pleroma authors used it properly, nor for how well ActivityPub scales. I haven't investigated either.
My personal Pleroma server runs fine on a $5/month Digital Ocean VM. I've read that an old 32-bit Raspberry Pi is sufficient to run a 100-user Pleroma instance.
I plan to upgrade impeccable.social to use Soapbox/Rebased, a Pleroma fork. @alex is hard at work, adding new features.
The "show header" command on the account dialog, which pops up whenever you click on a nick or profile photo in Mammudeck.com, now pops up locally, hovering over the account dialog, instead of creating a new tab.
Following or Unfollowing someone from the "followers" or "following" correctly updates the counts, and, if you unfollow someone from your own "following" list, that row disappears.
There's also now a "Show Ids" checkbox on the Settings dialog, which causes statuses, notifications, and accounts (in the account dialog) to display their internal IDs, with a link that loads that entity in the Mastodon API Explorer page. Not useful for most people most of the time, but I had a bear finding IDs when I had some debugging to do, and that will help immensely next time.`
And I rounded the button corners.
You still see only the first fetch of statuses, follower, or following in the account dialog. If somebody really needs this, and asks nicely, you might convince me to add it, for follows and following. If you want to see more statuses, create a column.
@textfiles@alex I've been noticing doubled user@server nicks at the top of messages here. I don't think #Mammudeck is adding them, at least I've never noticed it before now, and I'm not typing them. Soapbox/Rebased bug? If you don't know about it, I'll investigate further and add an issue to the repository.
@alex Looks like it's an interaction between Soapbox/Rebased and Mammudeck. Attached is how that message looks on gleasonator.com. My problem. Not yours. I think.
@brave@alex@brave Mammudeck wouldn't exist if it weren't written in Elm. Or it would have taken 3 hackers to make the progress I have alone since July 4 2019. Elm rocks!!
I'm trying out Gleasonator for a little while. I followed everyone that @alex follows, so I'll see something in my home feed. Here's what my screen look like, running Mammudeck.com, saved as a @brave application, pointing at gleasonator.com. ?

I found the Pleroma instructions for database backup and system upgrade. It looks like I can handle it. My idea is to make a new Digital Ocean droplet, with Ubuntu 20.04 (I always stay at least two years behind the most recent Ubuntu Long Term Release, but if you know a reason to use 22.04 instead, I'll do that).
Next I'll install the next version of Pleroma (2.0), from scratch, then copy the database from my live server, migrate it, and test that it works. If it does, I'll turn off the Pleroma server on impeccable.social, copy the database over one more time, migrate it, and test the update.
After that, I'll go through the Pleroma upgrade process until I get to the latest version.
Finally, I add Rebased as a git remote, pull it, and run migrations once again. Then I can point DNS for impeccable.social at the new server, use it for a week to make sure all is well, and delete the old droplet.
I may start this as early as tomorrow. Will let you know how it goes.
@alex It's time to upgrade my Pleroma 1.0.6 server to Rebased. The install page at https://soapbox.pub/install/ has good instructions for installing Rebased, and I did it successfully once. What's missing is instructions for updating my database, so that Rebased will work with it. How do I do that?
I'm a retired lisp weenie, currently working on #mammudeck, in #elm. When I'm not surfing The Fediverse or Twitter, or writing code, I play the trombone, sing in the local chorus, ride an e-bike all over Knoxville, and wear a Utilikilts kilt every day. I usually surf the Fediverse through my own private instance as @billstclair@impeccable.social.
