With the new influx of #twittermigration, I might open up my current single user instance to the public. Focus would be on #hiking #mountaineering and #IT.

Would you be interested in joining such an instance?

Yes, for sure

It would certainly be a small instance at first. Also would need to migrate my instance to the cloud before I can open up in a good fashion.
Without having made the final decision (poll is still running), I have been checking the various options to host an instance. Will not go for a hosted instance, as I would like to support it myself (part of the fun). Have my eye on a provider and checking out the options / architecture. Nice project for the holiday season which started for me today. Yeah!
@bergmeister you can always come colocate with us in Switzerland - we have mountains, too!
@IPngNetworks sinds bijna 15 jaar al mijn thuis 😜
Final day of the poll.

"Vox Populi, Vox De" 😋

It is clear, will start migrating my instance to the cloud today, which will take a while. Please be patient 🙏

Afterwards I will open up mountains.social for mountains enthusiasts in the broadest sense of the word.

Will open with approval required for registration, so I can keep the instance under control to deliver good performance.

Already looking forward to a niche instance in the fediverse with you.

Migration seems to be successful, although in the beginning I was having some issues with media not showing. Migrated from local storage to a S3 bucket, so had to work out some issues in that area. Queues are being hammered as the instance was down for approx 13-14 hours. Will make some more quality checks, plan jobs, backups, etc. Not ready yet, but a major step done.

@bergmeister so specific!
@aimatme other topics not excluded 😃
@bergmeister So there are TWO of us here interested in mountaineering? 😉
@drdirtbag I certainly hope there are more to be found, but we need to start somewhere I guess? 😀
