Hey FYI, I'm getting a bit of traction in the #Fediverse promoting #Soapbox and I've even been visiting #Twatter a bit, promoting it there too but also links to #JoinTheFedi and https://Btrf.ly too.

I actually think a couple of folks have indicated they've opted for the SaaS offering, which is kewl, they people have a turnkey solution for deploying a Soapbox Fediverse instance.

Oh, one of those posts I've just boosted includes a question about where the user can find their Admin section, in addition to config.
@graf @pasture you might want to add the URL for customers to reach their admin section into your knowledgebase area as well (i.e., hostname.tld/pleroma/admin/) as I had to tell a couple of folks that either subscribed with you or self-hosted a Soapbox/Rebased instance for themselves.

Anyway, there needs to be more active marketing and promotion of these Soapbox related links posted into Twatter space because msdtodon is but one Fediverse server solution, and people have even asked need for Fediverse solutions for writers and journalists too, so Soapbox, #Friendica, #Mitra, and Write.As are the most viable platforms for these folks, msdtodon not even coming close to meeting the requirements necessary for professional writers.

I hope that helps, and all the best!

You're very welcome, and #Pleroma itself is kind of a hot mess now, largely in disarray, maybe even somewhat stalled after the very professionally minded #Soapbox developer left that project, forking it when he did.

Here's some links to fill you in:

(Listen to the podcast too).

He's made self-hosting easy too:

Pleroma is dead

It's time to install Soapbox BE. Pleroma is a microblogging platform meant to compete with Mastodon. After 2 years of contributing, I've been banned from its GitLab. To be fair, I did say "Fuck you. All of you are total assholes.
