   Thinking about self-hosting a private instance of https://pixelfed.org for myself :blobcatthinking: 📸

   I would love to ditch instagram entirely, but I do have friends and family there I like to keep in touch with 😔

     @ricard if you let me know what issues you ran into, it could help me improve the process and make it easier for others.

     I'm sorry for the difficulty, and hope you reconsider us when we fix this!

     I have given up on self-hosting #Pixelfed ❌

     I will share photos here with this Mastodon account. Easier, done ✅

     ✅ I have installed a Pixelfed instance on my server 😏 🎉

     I will try to import Instagram content into it before sharing the URL with you. A blank profile isn't very exciting 📸 😁

     @dansup Thanks for reaching out.

     Here's my setup and the issues I had:

     - I had installed Pixelfed in the same Ubuntu system as I have Mastodon (both from source, no docker)
     - I used 2 different domains
     - It seems Redis had conflicts (it wiped feeds from Mastodon lists randomly), users suggested having 2 instances for Redis.
     - I wasn't able to follow my account from Mastodon. I found it in Mastodon but I got no updates when posting on Pixelfed. Horizon dashboard showed all success, no failure.
