Also - mastodon.nl is now running v1.5.1
Well, that was a pretty serious outage for mastodon.nl - still not sure what caused it (port 443 stopped accepting connection). But it's fixed now. Sorry for the inconvenience!
@aoe2wiki upgraded mastodon.nl - but maybe something went wrong w/ your avatar - it seems to be missing, or didn't you upload one yet?

Want to make a huge contribution to Mastodon adoption?
Create and maintain a Debian package for Mastodon. If you know anyone fluent in making and maintaining Debian packages, please share this with them. Let’s reduce the complexity of installing Mastodon on Debian-based distributions (e.g., Ubuntu) down to running a single command and watch the instance numbers shoot up! :)

Federation report: in the last 1/2 hour we received 5458 toots from 189 instances. https://mastodon.host/ can see at the moment 42.49% of the network statuses and is connected to 1640/1593 instances.
Tootle on iOS supports multiples accounts on the same instance ! 🎉
Instance admins have their own discussion board, which we are hoping to expand. https://discourse.joinmastodon.org/c/instance-admin
Hopefully we can move away from Discord in this regard. Just drop in and leave us feedback on how you’d like to use it.

HackOn 14-15-16 July 2017
@webmind https://hackon.nl/ is now open for content submissions
"HackOn was born out of the hacker ethics, decentralisation, autonomy, critical views, and lulz. However, we don't limit ourselves to just those topics.
We decentralised by organising a smaller outdoor event in the Netherlands, this creates autonomy and a way to get other voices heard."
@Gargron is there a list of articles about Mastodon somewhere? I couldn't find it, and it would be useful. Maybe a hashtag and boost bot? (#MastodonInTheMedia ?)
Quick tip for those hanging around the bird site (as I do): this account brightens up my timeline.
If you're a The Next Web in Amsterdam today let me know!
I absolutely love DevonThink Pro Office! It's a great alternative to things like Evernote to gather knowledge, but much more diverse, you can self-host, it has strong AI ("See also") tooling and integration with my ScanSnap. Probably the most expensive piece of software I've bought, but totally worth it.
@realitygaps I'm looking for an opensource alternative to Disqus for including comments on my blog. Must be able to self-host. Any ideas?

Useful list of clients, bridges and bots for Mastodon here: https://github.com/tootsuite/documentation/blob/master/Using-Mastodon/Apps.md
And a list of mastodon instances here: https://instances.mastodon.xyz/list (Thanks @TheKinrar )
Quick explanation about what happened today:
After some server migrations during the night, the instance lost connection to the Redis server in the morning.
When this was fixed, the Sidekiq workers got overcharged and so the instance was not working by the end of the afternoon.
Everything is now fixed, thanks everyone! :)
A pretty bizarre and disturbing and some great great reporting from The Guardian. One of the best pieces on data, public profiles and online networks I've read in a long time.
