Now on v4.3.3! Will adjust some settings later.
(Upgrading to yarn4 was unnecessarily painful.)

[#]ResPublicae is going down for some maintenance.

However things seem to have considerably improved in the past two years on this front as well, so that's not a reason to delay the upgrade further.

Another advantage of Mastodon v3.5 is digital preservation. Server-side rendering allows the #InternetArchive to successfully archive our pages with minimal effort, as seen in:

https://web.archive.org/web/20250106122009/https://respublicae.eu/@EU_Commission/113771861420849085
Mastodon v4 timelines are difficult to archive (while presenting no difficulties for abusive scrapers) so the wayback machine snapshots are hit and miss:

Is #glitchsoc the way to go? Some instances seem to have solved some of those issues, but not all of them.

It's obviously an outrage that #ResPublicae is still on Mastodon v3.5.
Mastodon v4 was released in 2022 but we still don't know how to satisfy some needs of ours:

Recently we've seen some increase in activity. Surely we won't come to regret it.
The suitably meta https://respublicae.eu/@EU_opendata/113743291989376019 is among the most popular posts of the past day.
(We also received the first report in many months, blank and not actionable.)
It is increasingly questionable to post on the other side and to crosspost here from there. At the same time, it's increasingly necessary to help people avoid visiting the former birdsite.
When to shut down #ResPublicae for good?

Nitter by PrivacyDev miraculously keeps working, so we've finally caved and switched to a proper RSS feed parser. Many thanks to the awesome @david of @admin!
https://production-ready.de/2024/11/24/feed-to-mastodon-en.html
This allows us to switch some profiles to proper RSS sources like blogs, when they exist in conformance to POSSE. Hashtags work again.
We're now updating about 150 profiles, instead of about 50 previously, at intervals of a few days. We didn't add any new profiles: don't look for the latest commissioners or MEPs.

We were down about 15 min while experimenting with some options to reduce the size of our virtual machine at #Scaleway. (We didn't succeed.)

Crossposting for the busiest ~50 accounts using the privacydev Nitter instance has worked surprisingly well for a few months. (Help welcome to fix the RSS rendering issues which fail to preserve mentions and hashtags: https://github.com/robertoszek/pleroma-bot/issues/131 .)
A few days ago, crossposting stopped as media retrieval fails. We're now crossposting without media.
