Sounds like a great idea. There are companies that host servers like these. Could be a nice stepping stone. Away from big tech but not quite self reliant. Biggest problem is always data loss which is less of a problem if someone gets paid for hosting.

As I said, I host a small instance for me and a handful of friends. I subscribed to 30-50 communities and post regularly. I don’t think thats in any way comparable to a 50-100 people instance.

Also, my findings were that mastodon has like 2-3 times the storage requirement although the same numbers of users.

Thanks! I appreciate it.

Sure, I‘ll probably increase the collection timespan. I just didn’t see the necessity before. The setup is about a month old so there‘s a lot still to learn and to experience.

Right now I‘m trying to figure out if I keep it running as it is with a bit spare disk space or if I start testing backups and maybe put it all in one script, either bash or ansible (have no experience with that).
