After reading about the many people who self host their own fediverse instance, I wanted to give it a shot as well!

I'm trying out #Hollo

I chose to go with #Hollo over other choices because it fulfilled my needs:

  • I wanted high compatibility with the mastodon API since many of my blogs use mastodon as a comments engine.
  • It was built for single-user instances (should be relatively lightweight) but also allows multiple accounts for easy separation of topics/posts
  • It installs with a docker container, which is easy enough if you can follow some instructions and troubleshoot the configuration files with some help (like a technical-minded friend or google gemini)
  • Related to 3, I can use any server hosting provider, not just managed hosting.

    • I'm excited to use it and see how it goes!
