Not just speaking technically but economically. As user number mount up their post is just going to add up. I know instaces may distribute user, but server space isn't going to go down for anyone. It just seems like built to fall.

i would like to see a drop in word-press like (fuck wordpress) install for a fully-federatable instance.

im sure there are many products there or nearly there. It smells like opportunity for the right, talented folks.

im having a blast with mbin on aws

@originalucifer Glad you're having fun with Mbin, I know I recently moved across to Mbin on Kbin.run as of the bug fixes and stuff. Sadly don't know how to create my own instance as would love to create it on a sub-domain of the website I run for business as I'm sure connecting to the Fediverse from my own instance would be really cool and would help me control what I see, so much more also would make it easier when it comes to getting Family and Friends Involved.

theres a great crew in the devs/other admins of mbin on matrix, and i am always happy to help if you ever decide to give it a go.

you can probably do it very cheaply. i went the most expensive route, and im payin ~$1.00/day. not using aws, you could maybe that down to $0.25
one thing to keep in mind, once your instance is up with a domain name (myinstance.mydomain.com) it cant really be changed.

im an old sysadmin, i hate social media... i just like looking at the numbers..keeping things running. my hate for the new reddit has overtaken my hate for social media.

@originalucifer Thank you, it's something that I am really interested in, just need to be in the right mindset to be ready to get that going. I knew about the domain not being able to change and have already thought about the subdomain I would use as I think just calling it something simple like Social.mydomain.com is something that would work and make people understand why it's called that.

I have used the docker images also by the same dev, but perhaps Lemmy-Easy-Deploy is kinda what you're looking for?
