Our Mastodon instance “burningboard.net” now internally ONLY uses the Internet Protocol in Version 6. I did successfully migrate away from any RFC1918 addresses in any of the internal infrastructure connections.

Nginx -> Mastodon: IPv6 Mastodon -> PostgreSQL: IPv6 Mastodon -> Opensearch: IPv6 Mastodon -> Sidekiq: IPv6 Mastodon -> Loki: IPv6 Sidekiq -> PostgreSQL: IPv6 Prometheus -> Mastodon: IPv6

All using globally routed unique addresses and proper routing and packet filtering from “pf” (FreeBSD).

Outbound connections to legacy hosts (for example for Federation) uses NAT64 over Tayga.

Inbound the Nginx is the only component, that supports IPv4 on NAT on a best-effort approach. But I refuse to put a lot of work into this. We have 2026 and it’s a dying, smelly protocol, that I don’t even monitor anymore.

If someone looks at the Firewall rules.. Yes, we do run a (private) Factorio Server on our Mastodon system :factorio:

Just a quick note for #MastoAdmin 's using the #Universeodon Relay. The relay is one of the last things to get moved now onto our new infrastructure, I'm about to start making the configuration changes and DNS updates which will mean our new load balancer infrastructure will start to serve requests for the relay as well as finally supporting IPv6 properly. Later today I will then need to migrate the relay DB and config onto a new server so there will be a short outage later on to the relay while I do this.

Server updates done. Just the usual package and kernel updates, nothing out of the ordinary. Sorry for the brief glitch, in case anyone noticed it. #MastoAdmin #MementomoriSocial

Server providers are raising their prices due to rising hardware and energy costs (RAM and SSD prices up to +500% since 2025). If you use a free or donation-based Mastodon server, keep in mind that hosting costs are going up, support your instance if you can. #Mastodon #MastoAdmin #SupportYourLocal #SupportFreeSoftware

Something I believe may be warrant discussion is how each instance is beholden to the rules of another by virtue of federation. Something that has given way to vibes-based reporting which our administrator has been unable to act on. This has, unfortunately, resulted in the slander of our instance. Branded as allegedly being "anti-moderation" and "bigoted" for choosing not to punish their users over frivolous reports or engage in the fediblock of the more fringe or controversial instances on here ourselves. So Fedizens, what are your thoughts?

I won't be able to use the flag EXPERIMENTAL_FEATURES=profile_redesign for a while. I do not have time to redesign ours. I really think the Mastodon core team has made some poor choices lately, UX ant

@rolle@mementomori.social · Feb 21, 2026
What I mean specifically are these endless toggles everywhere. Click-click-click-click. Before it was just a click. Also, why change the most used hashtags into a horizontal list? And what's with that huge button to show more pinned items? What was wrong with the old setup? The carousel wasn't great either, but I liked the version that showed them one below the other. What problems are we actually trying to solve here? I know these aren't shipped yet, but does anyone actually use Figma and discuss UX? #UI #UX #MastoAdmin #Mastodon

:skull360: We’ve successfully upgraded our Mastodon server to v4.6.0-alpha.4+mementomods-2026-02-21, along with Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0-alpha.0-4.

This update includes today’s latest daily build with 121 new commits from upstream since mementomods-2026-02-08.

What’s new in Mastodon core - These are the changes Mastodon Team have introduced us in the latest nightly version we are running:

✨ New features

  • Theme system overhaul. This won’t affect us and is currently a bit incomplete, because we do not utilize this new color-scheme feature in our themes, yet.
  • Lots of fixes and underlying changes

🔮 Upcoming

  • Profile redesign and Collections are being built incrementally upstream behind experimental flags, we’ll enable them once Mastodon Bird UI support is ready
  • FASP (Fediverse Auxiliary Service Providers) infrastructure continues to be developed

🐦‍⬛ Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0-alpha.0-4 (nightly)

  • Fix translate button color not matching link color
  • Fix extra border-left showing up in mobile devices
  • Updated install script for new theme infrastructure (idempotent, handles stale theme cleanup)

Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0-alpha.0-4 is still a work in progress in the nightly branch. It’s not 100% ready, but it’s stable with today’s Mastodon alpha.4.

Source code: https://github.com/mementomori-social/mastodon

As always, if you notice anything unusual or buggy, please reach out to me or any of the admins. Enjoy your time here, and feel free to message me with any questions or thoughts. :bunhdheart:

If anything feels off, please let us know!

Wow, there are a lot of breaking changes in the latest Mastodon nightly. I'm a bit surprised by some of the UI choices being made. I haven't been able to refactor all the code in Mastodon Bird UI yet, and I already have quite a bit of technical debt. This won't make my life any easier. I hope I get some breathing room before 4.6.0 is released. #Mastodon #MastoAdmin #MastodonBirdUI #BirdUI

Our Mastodon instance burningboard.net now supports HTTP/3 (QUIC). HTTP/3 replaces TCP with UDP as its transport protocol, offering lower latency and better performance, especially on lossy or low-bandwidth networks. If you encounter any unexpected issues, feel free to drop me a message 🙂 #mastodon #mastoadmin #http3 #quic

The landing page of our Mastodon instance burningboard.net is now bilingual, offering not only German but also English for our international visitors. It features introductions to Mastodon and the Fediverse, helpful information for newcomers and people coming from the "birdsite" as well as information about our philosophy, rules and more.

A #SysAdmin / #MastoAdmin Question for folks Has anyone used mikrotik hardware in anger / in production? I've had enough now of my Unifi gear causing problems, this is the second gateway I've purchased which exhibits these random lock-ups / crashes and I'm very much over it so am looking at alternatives and mikrotik continues to be one that looks sensible. Just curious if anyone has much experience using it hands on?

RE: @Mastodon@mastodon.social

Quoting this good thread from Mastodon official that they’re “work on a new onboarding experiment for #Mastodon: Default Server Recommendations” which will recommend closest geographic server in the correct language that:

  1. Run default Mastodon (with a “for now” codicil)
  2. Agree to the Mastodon Server Covenant ( https://joinmastodon.org/covenant )
  3. Have been around at least a year and have both shutdown and disaster plans

There are more details in the thread and particularly in the replies - e.g., why it’ll be rolling out to mobile clients first, while web will take longer. There are good reasons for it.

I like it on first read. Seems like good stuff.

We are excited to share that we are beginning work on a new onboarding experiment for #Mastodon: Default Server Recommendations. Our intent for this experiment is to recommend the closest server geographically that is in the correct language during the sign-up flow. We will be running this experiment on our iOS and Android apps only to start. 1/6

Mastodon server admins, some important news!

The Mastodon developers are going to stop suggesting mastodon.social as a “default server”.

Instead, the “default” server suggestions are going to be ones that suit a user’s language and/or geographical location.

If your server fulfils these critera:

  • Running vanilla Mastodon
  • Mastodon Covenant compliant
  • Have existed for 1+ year
  • Have shut-down & disaster plans

…then see this post for more details: @Mastodon@mastodon.social
