A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Thats so cool. How hard is to setup an instance? Like to i have to buy an actual server?
Sorry, when I say mine, I mean the one I signed up for, not the one I run
The hard part isn't setting up an instance. The hard part is getting it well-federated. If it's not well-federated then you're going to be in a party on your own. If you have a fairly large follow list (about 3-5k) it may be better, but overall it'll be a bad experience.
Not hard at all actually! Their docs are really well done, and I believe someone has recently made an Ansible playbook if that's more your style as well (though I can't endorse it since I haven't tried it yet).
