Adam BishopMy mum wants to join the #Fediverse - as she's fed up with adverts in other social media - and I have no idea what server would be best for her.
She's in her seventies, likes gardening, outdoors, cats and dogs, travel, books..
Any suggestions?
Evan Prodromou@AdamBishop realistically, you should set up a family server on masto.host and give her an account there.
@evan Yes, good idea too. Currently quite a bargain at 6$ a month for the basic plan. I have no experience self-hosting a Mastodon instance, but there's one way to get it!
Vote Green@AdamBishop masto host is really a good service provider. We have used them for 6 years, maybe 7 without any issues.
You will need to help her populate her feed, as it is very difficult to get content federated to a single instance
