Wow. Yesterday I posted a little introduction about Solent.Social, and over the last 24 hours, you've blown me away with 50 boosts and nearly 40 reactions! Thank you all so much for the incredible support. Running a small, independent instance can feel daunting, but your reactions have completely validated that this project is worth the time and effort. Incredibly grateful to the Fediverse community today! ​:fediverse:​ ​:heartTeal:​ Thank you all for the support :3 #Solent #UKFedi #Fediverse #FediMeta #SelfHosted #SmallWeb #Introduction RE: https://solent.social/notes/anmlh8frlte5048g

I guess it's Introduction Time. TL; DR Name: Sam Prefered Software: Sharkey Work: Custom Sticker Business Hobbies: Fediverse Helping & Video Games --- My name is Samantha or Sam for short, I've been using the Fediverse for close to 5 years now hoping between and running various Instances. I prefer the software Sharkey as it gives a high character count along with some amazing quality of life features including alias' for custom emojis you can use for reactions but it can also can be used on a good amount of Mastodon based apps due to the Mastodon API Integrations. I run a little Sticker making business that I'm slowly building up and have recently started selling Fediverse Stickers that ship all over the world. Link if you wanna check out my stickers: https://vex.blue/shop/ I'm a huge advocator for the Fediverse and am hoping to start a local monthly group to showcase "What the Fediverse is", "Why you should be using the Fediverse" as well as "How to use the Fediverse". This is something I'm still planning out and trying to get rolling but I'm sure I'll share the details as it develops. I also love video games, I've started trying to expand my type of titles I play but normally tend to lean towards, Minecraft, Hytale, Counter Strike 2, Euro Truck Simulator 2, GTA V, Hitman, Satisfactory or someother strange game I can loose myself in for hours. Happy for new suggestions for games for the future. (Mainly play on PC with Steam these days) For now I think that's enough from me, Thank you all for checking my very long Introduction. #Introduction #Mastodon #Sharkey #Fediverse #Intro

I often try and do my best in anything I do, work, motorbike, this instance, relationships. I do my best to make things run smoothly and happily.

I’ve just been broken up with as I’m “to introverted” I’ve been trying to come out my shell more and have been the past few years becoming a more open and extroverted person but it sucks to think that things aren’t going well and ended due to that factor.

I just wished I didn’t feel so empty with this sort of thing and just could feel okay again. I guess the next few days at least will be sitting back playing games and trying to feel something again just sucks I’m back to this sucky mess again.

I know I’ve probably done a shit job of explaining how I feel but I really do try my best. I just simply want to share mine and someone else’s experiences together

I've ridden a lot this week.

Getting out my comfort zone and learning the roads nearby me is pretty fun, luckily only had one mishap out of the whole lot that shook me a little.

Will be trying to do a little talking segment by finding a nice place to park up and record myself doing a talking part for my next video that'll release for the SamXavia YouTube Channel.

(Also will be uploading them to the Fediverse as well).

As a new rider this has been really fun and revealing and I'm glad to learn how to do my gear changes properly.

I wanna move my PeerTube Channels over from MakerTube what should I do?

I have a few PeerTube channels on
@MakerTube@mastodon.social

The goal was always it to be a temporary home for my YouTube content. The time has come to help MakerTube by moving my content away from there system's freeing up storage space and not costing them a monthly price for hosting.

I've got a few options;
Option 1 -- I upload all channels content to this account. Making it a mix of gaming, vlogging and general posts I've done across video content.

Option 2 -- I create new accounts on solent.social where I upload these bits of content allowing me to boost it with my main account as a 'go check it out' system. (I'm questioning how I'd name them as I currently run two channels of "SamXavia" for vlogging / motorvlogging content and "SamXaviaGaming" for gaming content, but I could rather simplify this name or keep it the same as my main on here is Sam)

Option 3 -- I take more time and start up my own PeerTube instance to make sure that the content gets put onto PeerTube along with the rest of the Fediverse instead of where microblogging systems post to. This option doesn't give much benefit to me other than spending more money from what I can see but I might be missing something.


So help me, what do you think I should do? They are all okay options and have there benefits, but I do really want to make sure my content is out here on the Fediverse and it is better to have proper control / ownership of it.

Replying to
@hzulla@infosec.exchange The problem is auto booting code from a DVD or CD hasn't been a thing for years. Also we aren't on the same home network. The goal isn't to just have the files work, just more bring the feel of physical media back using them as boot discs for games that are already on the system and have a cool custom disc art for it. You can simply just press play on steam but what's the fun in that.

@dansup@mastodon.social Wouldn't that be better off with the mobile provider instead of Apple and Google directly? In the end if you set up a 'kids' mobile number you could have restrictions on certain apps then. Also what about things like @GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social as that is android based but isn't run / maintained by Google and a good amount of the Linux community wouldn't touch ID verification because of the tracking and complications these systems have. I knew about your minimum age requirements but would you suggest a ID verification system for them? I guess if you do implement it, it'll be a switch on / off option if you do.

@dansup@mastodon.social I'm curious, With the UK's new Ban on Social Media for under 16s forcing users to most likely to have to ID verify for Instagram and other central socials (including YouTube and TikTok). How do you think this would effect the Fediverse a whole, PixelFed, Loops and more. (Also believe Canada is looking into a similar ban) #UKSocialMedia #SocialMediaBan #SocialMediaBanUK #IDVerification

@dansup@mastodon.social my solent.social instance was meant to be added to ​:loops:​ loops.video but when my videos have been uploaded it hasn't shown up on loops.video Is this a glitch due to being on a sharkey instance or have I not been added to the loops.video system properly

So I have an idea, I'm now stuck on Linux and my mum is looking to get a steam machine in the future. I want to be able to have a physical game like experience with steam. My plan is to have CDs / DvDs that I can put into a drive on my laptop or my mums Steam Machine to boot up / bring up the installer for the game. From my mininal research this sadly doesn't look possible without coding directly on each machine, unlike Windows that allows an autorun file to launch allowing for me to send it to the launch code of the game. Is there a way around this or will I have to go to a more expensive SSD approach? This would be a really cool way of booting your games and would allow me to use PS3 cases with custom box art for my collection. #Steam #SteamOS #SteamMachine #PhyicialMedia #Disc #SteamDisc #SteamDiscProject #Linux #LinuxGaming

Update 1
We have reached over 4,000 instances we are connected to, This means we have reached close to 10% of the world-wide instances that are publicly known about.

Update 2
My Introduction post about Solent.Social (
https://solent.social/notes/anmlh8frlte5048g) is close to 100 boosts because sometimes people boost my pinned post and it gets more people viewing and reacting to it. So thank you for everyone that has done that.

Update 3
I've slowly added more custom emojis such as the PEGI ratings (
​:pegi3:​ ​:pegi7:​ ​:pegi12:​ ​:pegi16:​ ​:pegi18:​ ) This allows people on our instance to rate video games what they feel the game should be graded at (or use the actual rating) when reviewing or mentioning a game.

We've also got the BBFC ratings what is the UK ratings for Movies (
​:bbfcU:​ ​:bbfcPG:​ ​:bbfc12a:​ ​:bbfc12:​ ​:bbfc15:​ ​:bbfc18:​ )

Update 4
I'm personally planning on moving my archive of my YouTube content over from MakerTube over to solent.social under the users
@samxavia@solent.social for my Vlogging / Motorvlogging Content as well as @samxaviagaming@solent.social for my Gaming content.

Update 5
Plans are in the works to help new people move onto Solent.Social and further push the Fediverse as whole due to the online safety issues that are happening through normal social media needs, If you have friends or family that wanna join us feel free to contact me for an invite code.

@homingnat@solent.social we have since chatted about it and will see what happens when they get back from being away but who knows it depends on how I feel and stuff as well. Happy to show you both how to use this system as it’s a bit different.
