@fuat2mb We're running the latest development version of GlitchSoc, so release notes aren't straightforward. It constantly gets the latest features before an official release.
This last update should include most of v3.5.2: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v3.5.2
#TheresLife updated to the latest version of #GlitchSoc.
Welcome @Yuntz22 to the server! 👋
Also, welcome @ty to the server! 👋🎊
Please message me (@jwinnie) if you have any comments or concerns!
Maintenance is done. A significant server upgrade has been performed.
Ruby has been upgraded to version 3, which should bring significant performance improvements due to the new JIT system.
Mastodon has been upgraded to version 3.4.3, which should bring some fixes and user interface improvements.
Overall, you should notice a snappier, more reliable experience.
Thank you for your patience my friends 😊
Performing maintenance. Apologize in advance for any downtime in the next few minutes.

I've made a new file hosting service called Eggnog.
Files are XOR encrypted by default, with a 1 megabyte limit.
@zudn Good catch. It does look like the server is being stretched in terms of resources. Jeremy and I have been planning to migrate it to Pleroma anyway, so it might not be a big deal.
In the meantime, I'll restart the server.
Welcome @tudi20 to #TheresLife! 👋😊

There's Life Announcement and Request (long)
Hello, world! Or, more specifically, the #TheresLife community.
I hope you all are doing well and are having incredibly enjoyable days.
The announcement: I'm going to be stepping down as administrator of There's Life. I will be increasingly busy with work, school, and family in the following months and I was wisely advised to pass my role to someone else.
I'm not going to write some farewell address, since I'm not leaving just yet. Instead, I am currently looking for another capable administrator who would be interested in taking my place.
This would involve:
- Administrating the server (updates, general sysadmin stuff)
- Administrating the website (managing federation, descriptions, helping people with their accounts, etc.)
- Guiding the direction of There's Life
Along with any other miscellaneous tasks these require.
There are many people who can manage a server, but fewer are likely to be willing to handle all of these.
All other projects related to There's Life, including the Plume instance, Funkwhale instance, and all future plans, will be continued or ended according to the discretion of the new administrator.
Yes, I'm looking for another "BDFL". Unless the community is coordinated enough to manage everything by itself, this is the primary option available.
The whole transition will take place over a certain amount of time and will involve lots of communication (text messaging, video calls) to ensure that the new administrator will be faithful and trustworthy.
Primary qualifications:
- Has some experience with system administration (it need not be professional)
- Is a follower of Jesus (this is a Christian community)
If you'd like to discuss this and possibly consider taking this position, please come chat over Matrix. My ID is @mott:matrix.org
Feel free to ask any questions you may have about this.
More information about this will be posted in the coming weeks and keep the process transparent to the community.
As you all know, There's Life was down almost all day yesterday. This was due to payment difficulties (no, not lack of funds). It is back up now and we'll be on top of it.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Welcome @zeke and @The_LilyIsAwesomeShow to #TheresLife!
Hello, #TheresLife!
We updated There's Life to use the glitch fork of Mastodon. It includes a few improvements and additional features that should improve the experience.
https://github.com/glitch-soc/mastodon
We experienced a few minutes of downtime in the process, but thanks to @josias and @jwinnie everything is now running smoothly.
The aforementioned administrators are now working on a fork of Mastodon that implements a new "neighborhoods" feature.
#TheresLife currently has one person actively moderator and administrating the instance. We used to have another moderator until recently, but for the last few months one person has been reviewing applications, monitoring the federated timeline, and managing the server. Unfortunately, some things have slipped through the cracks.
So we're looking for another member of the There's Life community to help moderate the instance.
This would involve:
- Reviewing registration applications (simply filtering out spam requests)
- Monitoring the federated timeline (deleting offensive posts and muting users if necessary)
- Resolving reports (which are generally few)
If you'd like to help out or just ask more questions about this, please DM this account or reply to this message.

Hello, and #tzag! I hope everyone is doing well.
Mastodon instances like ours do not display advertisements or sell your personal information for profit. Administrators often volunteer their time and experience to keep things running.
However, there are still expenses to keeping the server running, and we depend on your generosity to do so.
If you'd like to donate, do so through PayPal by sending to the address: lifenetwork@pm.me
God bless you all! Enjoy your day.
