It's more like for instance admins rather than the developers of the server software itself. At least that's how I understand it.

By "building a Fediverse server" I meant exactly that, not software developers. (Thanks for pointing it out though - it means that my explanation was ambiguous. I'll edit the above accordingly.)

Right, as a software developer myself, I equated "build" as "building" the software, not "building" the community or administration around an instance ๐Ÿ˜…

Ah, that explains it.

It's kind of funny because when I used the word "building" the first thing that came to my mind was the server as a house - like, you're building a digital home for a bunch of people. So the idea was in the opposite direction as yours. Just language things.

I think also the use of the word "server" instead of "instance", but it's quite a small semantic nitpick.
