OK then. After about 48 hours trying to figure out the nuances of running my own #Mastodon instance, I am wholeheartedly ready to give someone like @jan at #TootIO my money to do it for meš
. PeerTube I can handle. Mastodon is just out of my depth, and that's OK.

@killyourfm @jan I self-host almost everything, but there are two things I don't want to run myself: email and Mastodon.In case of Mastodon it's not only for technical reasons, it's a social network, I want to be part of a community, not on my own.

@sesivany I get that reasoning. I have heard from a few single-user mastodon admins that it sometimes feels like living in a silo.

@killyourfm @jan I wanted to run something like Pleroma, but I just can't bring myself to actually go through the deployment process.

@killyourfm @jan Yeah sometimes self-hosting isn't all its cracked up to me. On the bright side though, I bet you and I are still more qualified to run our own Mastodon instance than Elon is qualified to run Twitter ;)

@killyourfm @jan I'd do it, but I'd need to build a server first!

@mindofaaronw Heh, thanks Aaron. I think I could manage it on my own with enough time and knowledge, but only if I wanted to start my own community. The amount of management (at least to me) feels like overkill for a single--user instance.

@jan For what it's worth, this is one of the reasons I want my own #Mastodon instance. The anxiety that bubbles up inside is a bit uncomfortable when I wonder "What if it just doesn't come back online?"

@killyourfm Why not try #Friendica or #Hubzilla? Or say, #Calckey? There is also #Socialhome. Other than Calckey, the other three can connect to the #Diaspora network, too, which itself have a large following.I used to run my own Friendica and Hubzilla instances on a cheap VPS hosting. To not feel ālonelyā, subscribe your instance to a discovery service/relay. It should give your federation timeline more activities.But, yes, if I decide to have my own instance again, I'll prefer a managed hosting, and I'll pick #Streams and Calckey next.

@youronlyone Thanks for the suggestions! I honestly don't know anything about those services (though I do know the names). I have 7K followers on Mastodon though. Not something I want to abandon.

@killyourfm @youronlyone when you migrate your account to another instance the followers get that information and are invited to follow you there too if Iām not mistaken. Either way if you are looking to host yourself try Linode. They even have an installation script for Mastodon.

@ln That much I know, thanks. But isn't @youronlyone talking about other services on the Fediverse, not Mastodon? I could be mistaken... its' been a long year.

@killyourfm @youronlyone ah, sorry. I think so yes. I am sleep deprived, sorry š¤£. My Linode recommendation remains though.

@ln @youronlyone And it's an excellent recommendation! I use Linode already to host my site, and a couple days ago I fired up another Linode for Cloudron, where https://social.midreality.lives (I've been toying with hosting my own instance already, but feel overwhelmed).

@killyourfm @jan I canāt find the article, but there are also al kinds of ācaveatsā when your account exists on a smaller (number of people) instance. Missing content, etc. @popey I seem to remember you may have posted a link? Or are my wires crossed?

@bashfulrobot @jan @popey I have had a couple people tell me that replies in threads sometimes never show up. Which seems kinda like a dealbreaker.

@killyourfm @jan @popey biggest reason I wrote it off. (At this point). Plus I donāt need āmake workā projects. š¤£š¤£š¤£

@killyourfm @youronlyone It really doesn't involve that much work... But then again I crashed my instance 3 times while trying to upgrade it.
