New blog post!

In which I talk about how I joined the club of Fediverse admins with my own GoToSocial instance.

As botsin.space is going down I needed a place to host my bot, and so I decided to setup my own Fedi server. In the blog post I go through the requirements and the configs required to have your own instance in the Fediverse, and also mention the cool things you can do with it.

@stfn If what you wanted was bot hosting, have you considered exposing an ActivityPub actor directly from the bot rather than hosting an external instance?

@dos I could have done that, but I wanted to try out a "mainstream" solution, and also leave myself options to maybe use it not only for bots later

@stfn Fair enough! Just wondered if there were some hidden reasons to not do it, as my knowledge about AP is still mostly theoretical.
