What's the easiest way to self-host a single-user Mastodon instance? (Also interested in other fediverse platforms that may be easier to host/manage). Thanks!!!

tetrislife,

@sass Epicyon is a Fediverse server with a static webpage interface, no database in the backend, and additional non-micro-blogging features.

@sass GoToSocial is by far the easiest, download, set a domain, run it, done. But the UI is a little unfinished.

@jgillich Do I lose anything with GoToSocial compared to say Mastodon?

@sass It's compatible with Mastodon's API so you can use any mobile app and something like Elk on the web, but Mastodon's web UI is not available with GTS. Also it's still in alpha (beta soon) and not feature complete yet, but I think it's fairly usable (for single-user instances at least).

@jgillich Does it support acct migration (over AP maybe?) to something like Mastodon in the future?

WillieL,

@sass https://fedi.tips/?s=grow+your+own I haven't used it yet, but I intend to.
