AbhiramQuestion for fedi users on larger instances:
What is keeping you from hosting your own smaller instance?
Over the past couple of days, I've been really thinking about different ways in which I could give back to the fediverse and one thing that I keep coming back to is that the fediverse would be a lot healthier in the long term if there were more smaller instances instead of a few bigger ones.
Smaller instances are cheaper to host, foster a closer-knit communities, and ease moderation overhead per-instance. Not to mention, a fediverse that's full of smaller instances is much more resistant to bullying by larger instances.
And to add to my original question, if you were interested in running your own instance, how could I help you do it?
Would you prefer a masto.host style model where I host/maintain your instance for you, or would you prefer a "bring your own server/domain" model where I help you get everything set up on your own infrastructure and give you documentation with ways to keep everything running and safe?
Or would you prefer a completely different approach?
I'm mostly just trying to brainstorm ideas here.

masto.host model -> I host/maintain everything on my infra for you
BYOS model -> I help you get everything up and running on your own infra
