Kinda proud of myself.

A few days ago, I had never heard of mastodon.

This morning, I set up my own instance.

It doesn't work yet, and the domain produces a cute error, but I'm getting there. Feel free to help if you know what I'm doing wrong!

This will be my instance (private, one user for now!): michidon.com

That's great! Well done! You'll get it sorted :)

I've been thinking about doing similar myself with my personal domain, which isn't really used for anything except for email. Keep us posted how it goes :)

@daobenlau Thanks! Yeah the cute error went away after a few minutes and I was able to log into the server... 😀

But now I'm trying to figure out why I can't save any changes to my profile. Something something sudo... lol...

It's an experience. I've never even run a web site before, but there is something appealing about having control over my own speech with no billionaire able to stop me. (hopefully soon!)

@jumptytrumpty

Yeah I just checked and the domain front page is up and looks great! Nice one!

PS Love your plan :)
