I actually gave this a lot of thought and I don't think I will implement this directly as part of fediverse.express for a few reasons: 1. It’s not particularly easy to implement in a way that can be repaired by the site itself in case something breaks 2. Following entire instances is very rarely what people *actually* want 3. I imagine that first-time instance admins won’t understand what following an entire instance means and what its consequences are Instead, I will provide some sort of documentation, in the receipt or elsewhere, that will tell you how to follow an entire instance.

(Also fixed a few bugs related to upgrading instances - Misskey 12.75.1 works great, so feel free to upgrade!)

Would the option to subscribe to instance relays from your instance when setting up Pleroma be useful? For the uninitiated, these essentially subscribe to all of an instance’s messages so that they show up in TWKN. I may have an option to specify which instances you want to subscribe to and also have an option that allows you to subscribe to a selected set of instances.(Also, we pushed two small updates today to significantly improve security; not that there has been any event of worry)

We've redesigned the front page and given it a fresh coat of paint in an attempt to make it more attractive and user-friendly. Feel free to let us know if you have any feedback!

Hey fediverse! Wanted to put out a quick PSA for those who have just created instances with fediverse.express or instance admins in general. There have been reports of spammers using scripts to create lots of accounts on Pleroma instances without email confirmation. While fediverse.express and the default Pleroma install ship with registration on and email verification disabled, you can very easily disable registration or set up email verification in your admin interface (dashboard icon in the top right corner). If you have any questions about this, feel free to reach out to us. Stay safe!

@sjw@neckbeard.xyz Providers determine the prices and the pool of providers that execute automated provisioning is unfortunately tiny. I'm trying to look harder for providers that will do it for a reasonable rate, but unfortunately I'm stuck with what I've got now.

@graf@poa.st whatever helps make the fediverse bigger!

fediverse.express now has support for Linode!

You can now deploy Pleroma (and optionally Soapbox) with fediverse.express! If you have $10 per month, a domain, and want to own your own data, [check us out](https://fediverse.express/).
