Oops, we recently changed CW to use the summary
field instead of the name
(title) field, in line with what Mastodon now does, and need to update that in the edit form. Thanks @Oceane!

capsul.org/pricing (that was from servers.coop which looks good if they are ready to go.)
@bhaugen I'd start with f1-s on there and scale up as needed (it really depends on the number of simultaneous active users)
@bhaugen see docs.coopcloud.tech/operator...
While you can use any provider to get a server or VPS to use with coop-cloud, there's two mentioned in their docs (since they're more closely integrated into the tooling):
- servers.coop is an initiative started by the same people as coop-cloud to setup a cooperative network of hosters, but I'm not sure how operational it is yet
- hetzner is a german company that's common choice among FOSS and fediverse folks
(Or am I dreaming...?)
We've been optimising and tweaking various things... Some of the last things we tried involve some technicalities of LiveView and OTP, we've added some ENV variables for instances to be able to tweak, and set some default values that seem to make sense so far:
- LV_TIMEOUT: 42 seconds. The timeout for keeping websocket connections open after it last received data.
- LV_HIBERNATE_AFTER: 7 seconds. The time of inactivity allowed in the LiveView before compressing its own memory and state.
- LV_FULLSWEEP_AFTER: 20. The maximum number of garbage collections before forcing a fullsweep for the socket process. You can set it to 0 to force more frequent clean-ups of your websocket transport processes.
Thanks for the suggestions! Added to the list: github.com/bonfire-networks/...




We've just released the bonfire 0.9.6 - read more on our blog bonfirenetworks.org/posts/re...
Several new layout and sorting options coming to the discussion page on Bonfire in the next release. Would love some feedback, such as:
- would you prefer them separated in three menus as in the screenshots, or all in one menu?
- any suggestions on clearer wording for some of the options? such as nested vs linear and the different chronological options...

@adobo there was an issue after the last deploy but that's now fixed, I suggest giving it another go to get a better idea of how it currently performs
