New post: "A newbie's guide to self-hosting with #YunoHost. Part 1: reasons + requirements"
I can't believe my #selfhosting one year anniversary is coming up next week. @yunohost truly changed my digital life - for the better.
This is a 1st post in a 4 part miniseries intended for real newbies.
And now excuse me while I go hide in a cave expecting irate replies from sysadmins about certain things I wrote 😅
@_elena @yunohost I was really close to setting up a Yunohost server some months ago, but being a noob in this, got lost when it came to port forwarding. Think they could improve their docs on that part. Given that the Friendica instance I'm on is going to close in January, the Diaspora pod I'm on is currently down, & I want to go beyond the 500 character limit mastodon.social has, seems I need to try again to fix those things.
@TotalSonic I would highly highly recommend picking GoToSocial instead… I feel like it’s the hidden gem of the Fediverse. You set your own character limit, number of photos, poll options, custom emojis etc…
@_elena @yunohost this is so timely! My bestie just asked me for advice on how she should proceed in moving her writing off substack and my own goal for the new year is to self host all my files so they are no longer on the cloud. Bless you Elena. This is exactly the accessibility we need to expand digital sovereignty to everyone!
@magpieluvseeds thank you so much! delighted to hear this 😊 @yunohost
This is a small personal instance of Bonfire in the Fediverse.
