 Notes on running a [[mastodon]] instance. I use [[https://masto.host/|masto.host]], so I don't have any knowledge of the sysadmin side of things. Notes on running a [[mastodon]] instance. I use [[https://masto.host/|masto.host]], so I don't have any knowledge of the sysadmin side of things.

 +===== Customisation =====
 +
 +==== CSS ====
 +
 +Typical programmer [[HTML]] and [[CSS]], a complete mess, overwritten, overly complicated process. But at least you can apply your own mess on top of it...
 +
 +From the settings page you can go Administration > Site settings and scroll down to 'Custom CSS'. Anything you put here will be loading in it's own stylesheet called custom.css.
 +
 +My complete stylesheet is here: [[tildegit>rjt/mastodon-custom.css-gms]]
 +
 +=== Link Underlines ===
 +<code css>
 +a.status-link:not(.mention) {
 + text-decoration:underline;
 +}
 +</code>
 +
 +=== De-truncate URLs ===
 +<code css>
 +span.ellipsis::after {
 + content:"";
 +}
 +
 +span.invisible {
 + display:inline;
 + font-size:inherit;
 + height:inherit;
 + line-height:inherit;
 + position:inherit;
 + width:inherit;
 +}
 +</code>
 +
 +=== Emoji Icon ===
 +<code css>
 +.emoji-button {
 + content:url("[file address]");
 + width:32px;
 +}
 +</code>

 I think it's important for an admin to be proactive about who you federate with, so when I find a shit instance I have a browse and see who else those people are talking to. I think it's important for an admin to be proactive about who you federate with, so when I find a shit instance I have a browse and see who else those people are talking to.

 +A lot of the platforms that aren't Mastodon are even worse. Pleroma, Lemmy, Friendica, and [[Peertube]] instances are almost always worth blocking.
 +
 +Search for shithead tags (#NoAgendaShow ...) and emoji (pepe ...) is a good way to find bozos who've flown under the radar.
