@frogzone @silverpill I'll also do some maintenance, I'm sure the i2pd needs updated on that server

Mitra has been updated!
v5.6.0 :mitra:
Groups in my fedi? It's more likely than you think!
Pleromos in shambles :cirnofortnite:

@ps @ufm @silverpill
is ufm seeing your posts?

:aru_0450:

@foolghool Thanks for letting me know, I never user bloat (or tor, i2p, just yggdrasil) I'll see what's breaking and let you know what's up

@foolghool bloat's back!
I don't know what happened, but the service was just down for 9 hours, I know I had some trouble with the update yesterday.

I tried the list thing too and got this error, same on the backend
2026-02-06T07:34:49 mitra_api::http [INFO] POST /api/v1/lists : Content type error

looked into it for a bit and bloat is sending generic form encoded data but Mitra expects JSON on that endpoint, not sure which side should get patched in the end though (@silverpill -- want an issue made for this?)

@visionaire Not sure, looking at the documentation:

https://codeberg.org/silverpill/mitra/src/branch/main/docs/relays.md

if the @tag-fediverse is a "relay actor" it might just inject posts into the https://wizard.casa/federated timeline? But it also says it would follow you back and that didn't happen when I tested it

What did you try and what did you expect?

@visionaire I see, have you tried it on another server? I just tried on a Pleroma alt and I'm not sure if it's working over there either. Maybe @silverpill knows more about how these actors work with Mitra?

@silverpill @dsdarkkogo showing my ignorance here, but I thought 'media proxy' was just when we don't reject media and instead download it locally so clients don't hit other server's media

Can you point me to what you mean? Sounds like the opposite of what I thought where we don't host the media and instead have clients "hotlink" media from other instances

I was thinking it could be useful to have a setting for media retention instead of post retention: keep the posts, but delete the media until they're loaded or something like that

@dsdarkkogo The biggest use of disk space here is proxying media on posts and that size depends on how many accounts your instance is following (or posts with media attachments federating to you really)

Since there are some accounts here that are really aggressive with follows, the media directory can become an issue, but I countered by being really aggressive with this setting:

Which can be annoying to users that like to browse hashtags since if nobody interacts with a post it'll be removed. Database size is also dependent on number of users, relationships etc, but since you asked here's the stats:

media dir: 43G
postgres db dump: 891M

but for a single user instance it should be MUCH much smaller!

Just remembered wizard casa has been around for just over 3 years now (birthday is in September) and updated the about page

@bmcd hi welcome :waving: from an admin perspective it's been much easier to run mitra over pleroma, for end users there probably isn't much difference. Most difference is in the front end, we have bloat https://bloat.wizard.casa/ here too

@bmcd I left it default at 5000, I've never tried pushing past it so idk what happens if you try

@silverpill awesome :acat_gangnam: I'll definitely experiment with it sometime and let you know if I run into anything :cat_cheers:

@silverpill FYI spun up some workers in screen instances and it seems to help a lot

@silverpill more workers would help a lot!

@silverpill Thanks, I looked up what the cc field was yesterday and that makes sense now. I was thinking of making a some kind of auto-filter script that monitors queue length, hits a threshold, looks at logs and filters problem instances. Maybe even have it poll the instance 5-10min if it's a 502 and remove the filter when it comes back up. Could also be possible to do something even better in mitra, if we hit a 502 move all activities that will hit that server in the queue to a secondary queue that does the slow poll until it's working and then moves everything back to the main queue? Just some thoughts, might be too much to maintain in the Mitra itself

@silverpill sure, I think it was mostly these:

I'm not sure how newsmast works and I should've just maybe filtered pubeurope.com? I see newsmast cc's other instances that throw up failures like threads.net, I'll remove the filter and see what happens

how did I not notice this all day, TL is 7 hours behind... let's see what's going on

looks like mstdn.kemono-friends.info cloudflared their activitypub endpoints, hope rejecting will work, queue seems to be going down
