I’m so used to seeing spam on midwest.social, I thought this was spam
Actually, it’s my own personal Pleroma instance. Thought it was an interesting political song, and was just trying to find a sensible way to share it here with the commentary included.
Edit: @yogthos@lemmy.ml knows me! I’m not a spammer; honest! ;-)
can confirm :)
The link to the song doesn’t appear on midwest.social
Hmm, I just tried updating the instance but it’s still not showing up. Must be a problem with the Pleroma federation or a problem with Pleroma -> lemmy.ml -> midwest.social.
Yeah, my money’s on the Pleroma federation being the source as well. On my old domain, I ran an ActivityPub relay, subscribed to it and many others on that old Pleroma instance and, well, in addition to spamming the Fediverse (oops!), I completely drowned my instance in traffic; had to abandon the domain for this new one.
I’m a bit gun-shy of relays in particular, you might say. But I’m wondering whether not subscribing to an ActivityPub relays might mean that I’m regulated to some outer ring of the Fediverse. I haven’t found much in the way of documentation around this, tbh; been at the mercy of kindly instance admins learning most of what I know to date.
I can see it now
I don’t think my Pleroma instance is federating very well these days. :-( Sorry. Well, the song itself is on Spotify, I think.
Time to try to troubleshoot my instance again, I guess. (Without bring the Niagara Falls of Fediverse traffic down on my head this time. RIP pleroma.nfld.uk.)
