You can run your own instance:

It's a weird install with a hybrid of Docker and systemd, but basically you run a script on a low-end Ubuntu VM and point your DNS at it and you're done. Far less resource intensive then Mastodon.
I wish they released an official k8s Helm chart or something, but it's not too hard to roll your own deployment.
- jazzyjackson 2y agoI'm intrigued by this guide of setting it up manually behind nginx, I fall under "just don't like docker", but I figure it makes support easier if you only offer containerized deployment by default, at least everyone's machine is the same that way https://benharri.org/bluesky-pds-without-docker/ https://benharri.org/bluesky-pds-without-docker/
- GavinAnderegg 2y agoA PDS allows you to store your own content and signing keys. It's not an instance in the same way as Mastodon, because Mastodon is fully contained. Your PDS still needs a Relay (which are quite expensive to run), and an App View (which currently only Bluesky runs) to be useful.
