so @Gargon , I know you haven
t replied to my previous questions about this, but I'll try again anyway. I get you don't want mirror services to show up in search results, but why would you block the ones I have added manually for me? The only thing this causes is I spend less time here, and again more time on Twitter...
@Gargron why is mirrored.social blocked? switching away from the established social media sphere is hard enough, If i am unable to follow mirrored accounts it makes it less enticing to stay.

I'm extremely pleased to launch Run Your Own Social: How to run a small social network site for you friends.
This is a guide book to running a small, tight-knit federated social network server. It comes from my year of experience running Friend Camp. It's focused largely on SOCIAL solutions, though it does touch on the technical.
I've tried to keep it technology-neutral, and it should be a pretty easy read for anyone who's been on the fediverse for a while.
The Trump administration is not the first administration to propose this type of thing. Even assuming the United States government would never abuse this if it were to happen, if the US government can break the encryption, other governments and corporations and individuals can as well.

@cnf Hmm, sorry for the delay. Looks like something vanished when I upgraded the server. I’ve set all of the accounts as discoverable now, so they’re visible here: https://mirrored.social/explore
@davewoodx I can't see a "user" list any more on mirrored.social. Is this on purpose? Is there a list of newly added accounts somewhere? Thanks!
