Looks like all plans on masto.host are temporarily unavailable. When they have more capacity, I'm thinking about setting up a general instance focused on Minnesota (people who live here and people who just recognize how awesome we are). Trying to get a feel for size... Would you sign up for a #Minnesota general instance? (Plz boost to find my Minnesotans)

Thank you all for the response! Looks like a small, cozy, instance to act as a home base for Minnesotans would be quite affordable... as soon as masto.host is accepting new instances again.

@MNMinn I am on a mazo.host instance that I set up in 2018. Has worked fine so far.

@jwynia mazo.host isn't pulling anything up for me

@MNMinn Might want to check out some other hosting options as well, and maybe even building out your own instance on your favorite of the big cloud providers. I haven't tried masto but they have some worthwhile reading in their blog.

@fpace I don't have the bandwidth to even begin to figure that out and it just really doesn't hold any interest to me right now. That would be stress, not fun. In the future, that might change.

@MNMinn I’ll pick a third option maybe? Still getting a feel for things…

@MNMinn if there's an outdoor focus I'd be in. I'd really love a Minnesota outdoors instance. Back in April, I approached a board member for a Grand Marais based nonprofit about it, but they haven't moved forward with it.
