@solaradmin yeah I’ve been trying to figure out how I can get started. I never got into Gemini but thought it was cool, and already run my blog as a static site generator. (Although hosted by GH, not by myself.) Web ring or whatever modern mailing list system might be interesting?
As a tangent, but did you see the other threads posts about
https://libreserver.org/epicyon/ ?
I also had it on my list to try out Gotosocial based on blog posts I’d read about how easy it is to run.
@mathiasx yeah I was looking at gotosocial but once you've set up an instance it's not recommended to change code bases.
As much as I like my mastodon setup I find hosting gitea instance equally useful, I also host a torrent client helping with Linux torrents
@solaradmin yeah, I’ve seen the warnings on https://docs.gotosocial.org/getting_started/
Was musing somewhere on here the other day — we could take the idea of “personal data servers” from Bluesky and make switching your actual instance around as easy as migrating accounts. But the protocol would need to be designed for that.
ActivityPub is great, but I think some things need to be added or changed.
Adding pub/priv keys for signing messages is another thing to learn from Bluesky, maybe.
@mathiasx
The #Hubzilla way of channel clones has been around, there is also #SecureScuttlebutt which did asynchronous updation.
