I got a boost from @lisamelton and my $6.25/mo instance didn't break a sweat. Phew!

new release of #Fedialgo, the customizable timeline algorithm / filtering system for your Mastodon feed, counts the number of times each hashtag appears in your timeline even if people don't use a "#" character to give you a better sense of what people are talking about in the Fediverse.
there's a little bit of art vs. science here because some strings are disqualified from this kind of counting (e.g. a word like "the" should not be counted even if some maniac decided to make it a hashtag) so let me know if you see any weirdly high counts.

1. Is anyone else getting routed to chinese language when they visit this URL? because i am: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/apps/ (i end up at the URL https://docs.joinmastodon.org/zh-cn/methods/apps/ - note the "zh-cn" in the path.
i doublechecked my browser locale, VPN, etc. etc. and there's nothing configured for mainland chinese locale, but this happened even after clearing cache data for joinmastodon.org
2. who maintains the #JoinMastodon site?

Fedi Instance Admins: S3 buckets and CDNs. Public buckets with a CDN are simple enough.
Private buckets with signed urls...I understand how they work. Call the S3 API to grab a signed URL for a specific private asset, the URL lives short term. Anyone with that signed url can access it (?).
But doesn't it negate the function of a CDN? Seems like using signed URLs would be much more costly since you can't cache them for very long.
v4.2.22 We just released Mastodon 4.3.9 and 4.2.22. They contain a number of important bug fixes, and one security-adjacent fix.
