Every time I see the rainbow fediverse icon on a post or a comment, I cannot help but smile.
This is the internet. By the people, for the people. Thank you all for participating.
I have a few ideas for niche communities, debating if I should host an instance or just the communities.
Host an instance, even a single user instance would be good @selfhosted
I think niche communities will do better when they start to break away from the larger instances
Would you have an idea of what kind of traffic/storage I would be looking at, if I were to host a community that gets 500 posts a day? I know this is a very vague question, so a ballpark answer would suffice. Asking because I’d like to host niche locality based communities for my country (India) and hosting is not cheap here. I could perhaps do Hetzner auctions but the latency would not be pleasant.
I’m having trouble with my LAN, I’m not even close to thinking about public facing stuff.
just goto @selfhosted and ask around.
