Well, I've somehow managed to get #littlefedi running on my own VPS! I even managed to follow my social.lol account from it, and vice versa.
Feeling quite pleased with myself right now. 😄 I'd better go sleep though, it's almost 5am.
@jac@404brain.boo Nice one ! I think #LittleFedi is great as choice of ActivityPub platforms is always welcome.
More importantly, the ease of installation, minimal ongoing administration effort and the very low resource footprint might entice more 'non-technical' users to experiment and start hosting single user (or small-medium) instances.
@andyc@yakshaving.social It's pretty amazing! I'm really impressed with how light and responsive it is.
I don't know about truly "non-technical" users. I know a lot of people that genuinely struggle with tech, and while I'm no developer, I'm not in that category either. But I think if you're used to maintaining websites or similar, this isn't too hard. Certainly a lot easier than Mastodon seems.
That said, I'm still waiting for me to hit a wrong button somewhere and then watch the whole setup explode. I'm not completely inept though, I have backups in place. 😄
