I wound up creating two. One is on hachyderm.io, which is a medium-large instance with lots of k8s nerds. The other is self hosted. I’m leaning towards just keeping the hachyderm account. Self hosting on digital ocean is a bit more than $50/mo. Instance is underutilized with basically just me on there. I think I’ll maintain a self-hosted fediverse home, but: - I want to run it in my homelab to avoid cloud fees - I’ll move from Mastodon to something lighter, like maybe Pleroma. - I need to figure out how to bootstrap enough subscriptions to make an independent instance useful. Really, I think we need more managed hosting options. The only one I know of is masto.host, and they’ve frozen signups.
