2022-04-04 05:10:25 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks, happy holidays! This is your server tiger, Somnius, here :3
Can you believe it's been 3 years since we started running The Town as a Mastodon instance? I think that's pretty amazing. And I have some fun plans in store soon!
The biggest thing: if you've checked our Trello board, I just moved the "Migrate to Hometown" card over to "in progress." This means I'm going to actively look into migrating us over to Hometown in the upcoming week. Once I ...

2019-10-21 20:28:38 +0000 UTC View PostHey there everyone! After getting a few messages about this, I have been doing a bit of research about local-only posting and what it would look like to implement that feature on our instance.
See my thread about it here: https://merveilles.town/@somnius/102967788986849037

2019-09-05 04:59:38 +0000 UTC View PostHey there everyone! Somnius here. It's been a few months since this Patreon was started, and I've been blown away from the response. With the current amount of money we have, the instance can be completely self-sustained.
From here on out, I'll be including the financial reports on Patreon so backers can see them. I'll keep everyone involved in any new developments and such as well.
Thanks again everyone, and I hope you enjoy The Town! :D
