I spent 3 days trying to get Mastodon working and had to nuke it each time. With each different way of installation came new and unseen issues. Most of those issues are permissions based.

The closest I got to having it work properly, the public directory permissions were borked. The last time I followed the official documentation and the mastodon user somehow lost permissions to bundler… and pretty much ruby altogether. I guess I’ll keep trying. If anyone has a good tutorial that works with Ubuntu 22.04.

Yeah, it took me an entire weekend to get Lemmy working, but at least it’s working, and quite well at that! It would be nice if I could count on adding a theme of my own and it not disappearing with the next update, I’d attempt it.

I looked at kbin and the documentation is bad… Like, really bad. To top it off, no one has made any videos and I haven’t found really anything on it outside of the main support page. I’m going to let that one cook a bit longer before trying it again. Again, if anyone has a link to a good tutorial on kbin, I’d be quite interested to try it!

Anyway, that’s it for now. Have a good weekend!
