How is ditto working for you? what is your hardware setup?
I get a lot of errors when making soapbox edits or accepting new members. Not sure what im doing wrong.
can you speak to your experience with this?
I love it! But of course I'm biased, lol.
Henhouse uses the same servers as Ditto.pub. I know it's a lot more advanced than the setup we recommend for a standard self hoster, but that's because we want to be able to spin Dittos up at whim.
I do get a lot of those pop up errors sometimes, but almost always they seem to be referencing nothing of importance bc my stuff is still working? I know we need to figure out why though.
And I have the benefit of in-house tech support (literally) which is lovely ☺️
I know that Ditto probably isn't really, truly ready for mainstream self-hosting yet. There's so much to fix, improve, add... The list is never ending, but it's a high priority for us to improve this experience and make it more self-hosted friendly!
How's it going for you?
I think from the end users perspective, its fantastic. If I would make suggestions, I would try to make the signup process a little smoother, as the target segmet has no idea what a secret key is. or what to do with it.
I think the hiccups are on the admin side, which is good, at least not something users have to deal with. for example, edits made to soapbox triggers an error on my end. and i am not sure if the edits im making are taking effect or not. a simple example, I have been trying to change the theme (colors/logo/etc.) but it is very sticky lol
I might come off as frustrated. but thats not at all how i feel at all. I like the concept that i want it to work. hence my constant messages hehe
Maybe i should document these things...
Don't worry, I love hearing feedback from people who are using/running Ditto! Sometimes it's hard for us to know what to do next when there is a near infinite amount to do, so getting community feedback actually helps us choose what issues to prioritize.
I'm surprised to hear about the issues with admin edits, like customizing the theme. I haven't seen that issue, so I'm glad you let me know! I wonder if your json config file has got messed up?
I agree with you about onboarding - this is the big question for Nostr. How much do we try to "obscure" the technical details for the ease of joining, vs how much do we empower users to learn and take their freedom into their own hands. It's a fine line.
What sign up flow would you rather see, do you think?
