okay I'm kinda considering hosting my own instance now-
I just have the difficulty of "which server software should I choose?" because I wanna avoid Mastodon and all its forks, and I kinda want to host an Akkoma instance but then database rot is a thing and I need to stay below 100GB of disk usage-
(also, I kinda wanna try GoToSocial tbh)
fedi instance-related update
so, I’m currently stuck choosing between choosing either one of those:
Akkoma (even though multiple people have been like “don’t, no, stop, avoid that!!” - sorry peeps but I’m just very used to Akkoma at this point.)
GoToSocial (even though some features I’d like (like emoji reactions or following hashtags) are missing)
Iceshrimp.NET (even though it feels weird to have a fedi instance software in .NET in the first place, and configuring it using .ini files feels even weirder (on top of that, the frontend seems to still be incomplete so that’s going to be fun to use on a laptop/desktop then))
It has reasons why I avoid Mastodon (I absolutely do not like the direction in which things seem to go) and its forks (which often times make things more complicated to maintain, especially glitch-soc unfortunately), as well as Misskey and its forks (which all have a (frankly speaking) bloated frontend and no Mastodon-compatible API, meaning that I can’t use most of the mobile clients out there) so yeah-
