The thing you should know about Fnimlings is, in Reign Country, the collective fears manifest. Fnimlings are just the sweetest little guys, but fear hunts them.

Let's try a gaming opinion post, just to see how it flies here:

...

If you permanently stop asking "Is this a roleplaying game?", declare that literally every game in which you roleplay at all, however tenously, is one, and then instead ask "What tradition(s) of roleplaying games is this part of?"...

You can then accept that House and Cops & Robbers are Roleplaying Games in the children's tradition. And so on.

And then: Things open up quite nicely.

@darkade @blinks @SymbolicCity https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/optional/elasticsearch/ is the docs on it, and it only allows searching over your own messages and has to be installed on the host machine. Our host will do this for an additional €5/month at our current scale but I'm not sure it's worth it to only search your own posts

If you're coming from Twitter, you might not recognize the "post privacy" option.

Basically, each post you send on Mastodon can have 1 of 4 privacy settings: Public, Unlisted, Followers-only, or Direct.

Basically, Public goes far and wide, Followers-only is nice for more personal stuff (and can't be boosted -- retweeted), and Direct means it's like a Direct Message to any and all users you mention (tag) in your post.

Yesterday when signups spiked it was a surprise and it pointed out we were _way_ behind on rules and domain blocks.

https://dice.camp/about/more is now up to date with server rules and a decent set of server-level blocks.

Okay, all the accounts since I went to bed approved. Performance still seems within acceptable levels to me. We'll see how today goes and if we need to scale the resources.

We've now reached the point where when I approved a batch of new accounts there's ofter more to approve when the page reloads…

I suspect we may hit scaling issues sometime soon and I will throw money at the problem, but I want to see how far we can scale on the current budget first. It's definitely slowed a bit, but not bad for me so far.
