#mastodonhosting — Public Fediverse posts

We are thinking about Mastodon Services, like managing and running a Mastodon Instance for people.

Do you think this is a good idea?

PSA

Our instance is hosted by Fedi.Monster. They're switching to a new funding model, whereby their finances will be hosted by a non-profit on OpenCollective.

It's now a pay-what-you-want model to accommodate folks.

I'll be continuing to pay monthly to contribute towards our server's hosting, but if you want to contribute to them (AND can comfortably afford to do so), you can do so here:

If you have a working relay on your server I don't have, please let me know :) #hosting #mastodonhosting #mastodonrelay

So, dear #Fediverse… I’m thinking about firing up a small limited-access but federated #Mastodon instance to organize a comics study workshop with friends. Any recommendations or tips on how to proceed? I’m on a Dreamhost VPS and would like to avoid extra expenses as much as possible.

Well, I rolled out my own Mastodon instance on my tiny Docker host. For now I will probably just use it to figure out what all of the buttons do.

One thing does have me perplexed, following people on certain instances seems to require approval when done so from my own instance, while following the same people from mastodon.social does not.

I'm guessing mastodon.social is somehow whitelisted with most other instances and my own brand new instance is not.
