what's up #neuromatchstodon we just figured out how to do #wrapstodon so... happy march. stodon.

Dear #Neuromatchstodon, we turned the 'trends' feature on because, well, there wasn't much of a reason to have it off. You can see that in the "explore" tab on the right, and trending hashtags should be displayed on your home and other feeds.

Some details on the implementation of Trends are available here: https://wiki.neuromatch.social/Trending

it's limited at the moment to manually approved hashtags, posts, and authors at the moment, but we'll likely turn that off soon after taking a look for a few days what would be on there. If you'd like to help out approving things or generally help with instance moderation, you are always welcome to join the social working group, see the discord invite in your announcements and https://wiki.neuromatch.social/Onboarding

hello all you lovely beeps and boops out there in #neuromatchstodonland

full-text elastic #search has been enabled. search might behave a little strangely for the next several hours as the index is built - currently the ETA is 4h21m, though this has been fluctuating in a mostly upwards direction.

plz see these notes on what posts are indexed and visible to you: https://wiki.neuromatch.social/Search
these notes were written before 4.2, and we haven't had time to update them yet, but all members are welcome to edit the wiki :)

search indexing is opt-in for both our instance and others. to have your posts included in public indexing, go to https://neuromatch.social/settings/privacy and enable "Include public posts in search results"

you are able to search your own posts even if you have not opted into public indexing.

plz see the ElasticSearch page for more information :)

if the webzone goes down or becomes sluggish, plz give a shout in the discord (invite link in your announcements) or tag @jonny@social.coop

in cooperation <3 @jonny@neuromatch.social and @lina@neuromatch.social

Dear #neuromatchstodon we are upgrading to 4.2-RC2 since it's a bit harder to cherrypick backports to just get the security patches without upgrading on glitch.

Waiting for a backup to finish and taking a break for a moment, but the pull request is here in case anyone is around and wants to take a look before we do. It's 747 commits from upstream so sort of a lot to evaluate, but for transparency's sake: https://github.com/NeuromatchAcademy/mastodon/pull/27

We are also writing the upgrading docs at the moment so we can more easily share this job among any curious members :) https://wiki.neuromatch.io/Upgrade_Mastodon

Hello sweet peaches and pears of #Neuromatchstodon

We will be doing an upgrade to the instance on Tuesday September 19th, and potentially again later in the week depending on when the 4.2 stable release happens.

If there is a particular time that we should avoid a brief instance outage, please let us know either here or in the instance discord (check your announcements for the link). It usually is a few minutes tops, but could be up to an hour in the case of rare unforeseen trickiness.
