Spring is finally here, and here are some short updates Sakurajima is in fundraising mode. The goal is to make our services sustainable in the long term. So far, we are only part of the way of our goal. The end goal is to have most of our costs covered. If you can and enjoy our services...

We know that the next few years are going to be some tough ones. For a while, I have covered half the costs, and it's not necessarily a big deal, but given this year and wanting to make Sakurajima sustainable in the long run, I have decided to start a fundraising drive. As expected, I have...

For a while now, our Pixelfed instance is only available for those who requested it and te process of account creation was done manually. Now, since the settings to send the emails are fixed, we are opening it for approval based registration. You must have an account on our servers or any...

With the strong likelihood of a Tiktok ban being upheld by the Supreme Court, we have plans to host a Loops server, which is an open source and federated version of Tiktok that uses ActivityPub. More details forthcoming. When it becomes possible to host one, we will give priority to the...

Interesting... I haven't seen anything about migrating accounts to a PDS on the Bluesky interface, but hopefully this will change soon.

Apparently, there is no easy way to migrate accounts. The reason we want to provide PDS hosting to allow users to host their accounts elsewhere without worrying about enshittification. We will eventually implement it if BlueSky makes it easy to do so.

Now that 2024 is ending, it’s time to briefly review what happened in 2024 as a whole and, of course, our plans for 2025. As expected, things leveled off after the explosive growth in 2023. The most significant change Sakurajima made earlier this year was moving to a dedicated server for future...

To make our servers more useful to our users and of course other users in the Anime/Manga/Japanese media fandom, we may decide to mirror certain accounts to make them available on the Fediverse. This is done on a separate IceShrimp.net server. Note that these accounts, like the Anime News...

December is finally here as we head to the holidays. Here are a few updates. Bubble Timeline is now available on Sakurajima Mastodon The Bubble Timeline, previously only on Sakurajima Social, our Misskey server, is now available on Mastodon. This feature allows users to see the local timeline...

Looks like it's finally resolved over the weekend! My bridged account finally caught up on Monday.

You have to request it. I have added that theme, and it should now be available on the theme list.

If you are using the Bluesky bridge, while Bluesky -> Fediverse is still working, bridging posts from Fediverse->Bluesky is severely delayed. You might not know already, BlueSky got an influx of new users in recent weeks, and of course overloaded. As a result, Bluesky apparently paused...

Seems to be a caching setting issue. Added mastodon to rejected user agent and I was able to load your latest post onto Mastodon.

You mean 90's old school? The oldest manga I read is Hidamari Sketch, which started in 2004. Besides that, most of the Manga I read came out in the 2010s and 2020s.

Sadly no, but this one is a bit harder to deal with. Misskey doesn’t have a solution yet to check QR code contents, but at least there is a solution made today for Mastodon, so I guess that made the job easier on that side.

Ah s**t! Here we go again. In the second time in a month, the same troll group has decided to SPAM the Fediverse around midnight last night. This time, the troll group used QR codes. You shouldn't scan the QR code, but decoding it leads to a Discord link to a familar Japanese trolling group...

If you want to use ActivityPub plugin, see the guide https://forums.sakurajima.moe/resources/enabling-activitypub-on-wordpress.7/ I revised it with more explanation of its functionality, so you should be able to follow your blog’s account. When you publish a new post, simply boost the new...

Now that Sakurajima turns two years old, here are some brief updates for November. Botsinspace Shutdown It is announced that botsin.space is being shut down sometime next month. https://social.growyourown.services/@FediTips/113402561906820187 If anyone need a new home for Japanese Media/Culture...

If you decide to opt-in into Bluesky, you notice that your handle will have .ap.brid.gy included. We provide a shorter handle, but it requires some setup. Users can request one if they are donating monthly or have donated to us in the past. Your handle will appear as <username>.sakurajima.moe...

Believe it or not, Sakurajima turns two years old on October 28th. I started this server a day after Elon Musk bought Twitter. At the same time, I used it as an alternative, as nobody knew what would happen to Twitter. If you want to learn the story about what motivated me to create it, it’s in...
