@hypha yes or no depending on the considered requirements for “selfhosting”

@hypha nearly went for the would like option but then remembered just how much work is involved!

@nigelharpur single user instance is super chill
GoToSocial makes it so easy

@hypha I must give it a go!

It was actually all the protective stuff keeping the spanners n spammers at bay, along with all the other baddies. I know that @cambraca who keeps musicians.today puts a lot of effort in to making our space a joyful place, probably far more than any of us 'regular folks' ever imagine!

@nigelharpur @cambraca by running your own instance and being the single user, it limits a lot the unwanted interactions
and responses/mitigations are much faster because don't have to consult anyone but yourself before moderating

@hypha @cambraca hmmm... sounds like my wee server is going to gain another string to its bow soon.... hope it has the spoons! 😁

@hypha nah,

- I have too many things I need to worry about, a fedi server is the last of my worries
- Quite like the current server i'm in. Good admin @amapanda Good moderation (tbf, i am part of the mod team xd). Perfect uptime thx to @mastohost . And in general filled with people of similar interests ( #OpenStreetMap )

@hypha@cafe.mycelium.locahlo.st yep, it's honestly really nice - I get to run whatever software I like, with the patches I like and a blocklist I like

Plus I get static pages on the same server, even if it just says "under construction" atm

@hypha I have an instance running at cats.mastodon.musk.sucks, but I don't really want to live there and I don't want to moderate and admin a community, so I'll be shutting it down.

@johnefrancis you can run an instance for you alone

@hypha yes, I know, but it will be lonely and the hashtags will be empty unless I pickup a lot of relays.

@hypha Does running 2 medium sized instances count as selfhosting?

@hypha my server infrastructure is waaay too unreliable to put something like this on there lol. my uptime is horrific

@EP51L0N that’s the best kind of instance ngl

Avery :neocat_flag_bi: :neocat_flag_genderfluid:, most ActivityPub software retries delivery with exponential backoff when the recipient's server is down so you'll still eventually get most of your feed

@hypha@cafe.mycelium.locahlo.st Went to host it for one day, Mastodon filled up my hard drive, so I stepped away from it for a while, and later set up Sharkey

It's stable and doesn't eat the entire storage unlike Mastodon, it's running amazing

Only thing I wish for is if my instance would federate more

@hypha this is missing the option for "yes, but would like not to" which I think it needs for symmetry

(I like the domain name :-)

@hypha Yes and no. I don't self host this instance where my main lives, but I do self-host the Akkoma instance that my private alt lives on.

Yes, and it's running software that I built from scratch

@hypha@cafe.mycelium.locahlo.st I love the idea of doing it but it just both tight on money as well as learning to set it up. If I have bit more disposable money, I might give a try doing single-user instance for myself

@hypha Do you define 'self-hosting' as paid VPS or "Server in the basement" ? ;-)

3 December at 22:06 | Open on shredderfood.com

hypha - a fungus element

@ShredderFeeder the two are self hosted

3 December at 22:08 | Open on cafe.mycelium.locahlo.st

ShredderFeeder

@hypha to a degree. :) Setting up a VPS is easy, figuring out how to make mastodon work over a consumer residential dynamic IP address, that takes some work. ;-)

I recomend the prior. ;-) The latter wasn't fun. (But did provide a sense of accomplishment)

@ShredderFeeder homehosting is also selfhosting
