I keep tooting "The world is quiet here." whenever I launch a new instance and am the only one there, but no one has gotten the reference so far, as far as I can tell. :P

Heh, I currently host four GoToSocial instances. 😂

@darritt @nantucketlit

• One was the "alpha" for my main instance, before GtS reached beta and I was sure we'd keep using it. Everyone's migrated away from it but I keep it up to avoid breaking links. https://alpha.polymaths.social
• One is the main instance, which I'm sending this from https://polymaths.social
• One is the instance for Clew's project account: @clew https://social.clew.se
• One is a recently-launched "projects" instance for people on my main instance to host project accounts (I may move Clew's here, haven't decided) https://projects.polymaths.social

My first instance, which I used just to try out the software, was https://gts.verboseguacamole.com but I've long since taken that down.

GoToSocial is so lightweight to host, too. I've got all four of those running on the same machine as each other and as all the other things I host, including my search engine.

It's gotten far more feature complete even since I started hosting it. Back then, it didn't even have hashtags. Now it has complete support for hashtags, edits, and a number of features even Mastodon doesn't.

There are still a few things on the roadmap but overall it does very nicely, and I think all the ~30 active users I have on my instance enjoy it more than the Mastodon accounts they've previously had.

I first set it up in 15 minutes. Dead simple. :)
