@arinbasu1 @Tony @Bloomfer @maegul @admin Adding to this even experienced SysAdmins who celebrated getting their Mastodon instance running (not without incident) suddenly hit the harder problem of getting it to federate successfully. Six months on I'm only just succeeding - yesterday we only hit 50% of known instances. This required extra software.

Running your own instance is great and rewarding. But be careful of building unrealistic expectations, fragile servers and disappointing results.
