 Proud of how the server architecture of mastodon.social and the code of Mastodon is keeping up with the load, but wishing for this to transform into new Mastodon servers springing up. If you were considering starting a Mastodon server, right now would be a pretty good time. Anyone can do it from source, see docs: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/ There are also hosting providers (not affiliated with me) which are super easy to work with without technical knowledge, like masto.host and hostdon.jp No comments
 @Gargron keeping a list of different mastodon hosting providers here https://www.are.na/fediverse/mastodon-hosts @Gargron i used masto.host for a while and Hugo provided top-notch service. he made it super simple, got the instance spun up in no time, and kept it running smoothly. big recommend, i plan to hire him again at some point

@Gargron Are there any ressources on how to anonymously host Mastodon? When I think about hosting a public service like this, legal issues are my main concern. @Gargron It really does look like it's really well built. What programming language is it built on? @Gargron i have a question, (srry for muy English), I want to make an instance for role-playing games, what would you advise me, Debian or Ubuntu for the server? ☝️ If you started a new server for the Spanish community, let me know and I'll give you a shout out. There's a few basic requirements for it to be listed on joinmastodon.org as well, such as having a backup admin ("bus factor" 😅) and having some basic rules against harassment, so if you pass those as well I'll gladly put your server on joinmastodon.org. Here those requirements are spelled out: @Gargron Eugen, we would need savvy people to run a server. Also, many newcomers to this instance (as myself) would be reluctant to move to another instance and risk losing followers etc. |

@Gargron Very, very impressive... Great work...
