Hello all! 👋

A few things to cover here.

First of all, I would like to thank all who donated for their generosity. I don't know if I've said it before, but 100% of the donations are going directly to the hosting costs.

I believe I fixed the issues with federation (it was just a problem in my nginx configuration), so interoperability with mastodon should be working again. Sorry about that! I haven't tested other software, such as friendica and kbin, but I'm hoping they should be working again too.

We've surpassed 2,000 users! 🎉 I love seeing the all engagement! Also, thank you for the reports as well, I would like to keep this instance safe & welcoming to all, and can't do it without your help.

I've also noticed there's a few servers that my e-mail server is not happy trying to send e-mails to. by default it's set up to be fairly picky about the servers it connects to, and I've noticed that it's refusing to deliver to some with self-signed or certs that don't match the domain. I'll be working on getting that resolved in the next few days too.

Last but not least, I've added @[email protected] to help me out with some admin duties. Please give him a warm welcome! I plan on adding a third soon too.

As always, let me know if you have any questions, concerns, suggestions, or whatever.
