I host my own email, DNS, website, and many other services, so I figure I should probably host my own mastodon instance as well. Plus as @aral always says, it's good for the Fediverse to have more smaller instances.So I'm going to attempt the Mastodon server migration now, which means if you follow me, it *should* automatically move you. If not, you can follow me @kyle.

@kyle Quick hosting question, do you self-host at home, or use cloud/hosting service. If hosting service, which do you use and why? I'm planning to migrate some of my locally hosted services at some point, but the abundance of choice is daunting.

@kyle@librem.one @aral @kyle@kylerank.in It did automatically migrate!And congrats. I even had a few server-configuration-related crashes, and recovery wasn't too bad at all. Mastodon is pretty solid and hands-off to manage a small instance.

@shawnp0wers @kyle@librem.one @aral It was pretty straightforward really, just followed the docs. The only complication on my side was due to wanting a different webhost, but that was a one-line change, as was switching from single-user mode to multi-user.

Following the docs and making sure no cat walks over the keyboard is a solid way to success. How is your clock/scarf machine running?

@Bloomfer It's working great. I added a stripe yesterday to mark my last day at Purism. The scarf is less than a meter from touching the floor now (but I hang it up on a hook so as not to tempt the cats).

Put a box on the floor below the scarf, so your scarf and cats can coexist. Nice to hear, hope you'll share the project once it's completed

@kyle @aral @kyle still on my todo, i find mastodon (as a software) a bit overbloated so was looking to other alternatives. ATM am stuck at writing an auth module for my fork of gotosocial

@kyle@librem.one @aral @kyle@kylerank.in Super cool. I love seeing the single user instances. Would be interesting to see a front end theme that dropped the miscellaneous server info to better highlight the author. Maybe the more “publisher” style site would encourage more single use instances. Thoughts?

@kyle@librem.one @aral @kyle@kylerank.in Small servers that have exclusively unpopular on them like mine are cheaper and easier to run than email by miles.Welcome to the club :)

@kyle In my little experience solo-instances are a bad idea, due to the way the federation works. Probably, when you open a popular post posted on other instance, you won't see on your instance majority of comments added to that post.
