@avilife I came across This a while back. Never got to it so can’t vouch for how easy/useful it is but maybe a good starting point: https://paulstamatiou.com/hosting-your-own-mastodon-server/#masto

@AVILIFE Maybe I'll make a new OpenSim Follow Friday post this Friday.

In the meantime, feel free to look around my connections.

@jupiter_rowland yes!! Please keep me in the loop! Currently SL forced an update that has made firestorm and alchemy unable to support opensim at the moment. I went to the alchemy discord to try and find out why it’s not supported with no ETA on a fix and was just given the self compiler channel with devs casually discussing the issues. Please help me! I am new to programming & limited knowledge. I’m not sure what alchemy developers need to cross this hurdle

Don't worry. If you have Firestorm for OpenSim installed right now, Linden Lab cannot do anything to make this installed Firestorm incompatible with OpenSim.

In order to be able to do that, they would have to either force files onto your computer with admin/root rights and change something that has nothing to do with Second Life or force OpenSim to change something that breaks compatibility with Firestorm for OpenSim. And Linden Lab has no power over Ubit Umarov and the other OpenSim devs.

Also, no new Firestorm release has come out since version 7.1.9, the first version with PBR support and multi-threading. That version works about as well with OpenSim as it does with Second Life. If you check the Firestorm website, the blog has no newer post than the 7.1.9 announcement. So there's nothing indicating compatibility breakage with OpenSim in a current or future release.

If you've read somewhere that Firestorm drops OpenSim support, check the date. It's probably from 2019. That's way, way, way outdated.

(By the way, you've downloaded and installed Firestorm for OpenSim, right? You can't use OpenSim with Firestorm for Second Life. These two are different.)

As for Alchemy, I've read somewhere that they've dropped OpenSim support altogether a year ago even though they halfway advertise it here and there. Currently, the only viewers that support OpenSim are Firestorm, the Cool VL Viewer and Radegast which is text-only with no graphics.
