    I’m attempting to set up a self hosted instance so that I can control who I’m Federated with or not. Probably will just keep it open though, and I’d have to be a real asshole to get my instance defederated anywhere lmao.

      Can you do us all a favor and blog about your experience setting this up and running it somewhere? I’ll follow you 👍

      I was thinking about making my own Federated kbin-like server (writing the code from scratch) as an academic exercise. I’m a full stack developer and it’s the perfect thing to hone my non-embedded (full std) Rust skills and freshen my JavaScript skills.

      I have several side projects going on at the moment (that I’ve been working on constantly for almost three years straight) and I need a mental break from that. I’d love to learn what’s a pain in the ass VS what’s good from a semi-layman’s perspective so I can make something better.

      This is the solution. With enough small instances, not only do we provide a wide range of options to users, but we also distribute the hosting costs across the community.
