Hi guys! I’ve been here and there in the fediverse since a quite few years…always liked pleroma and mastodon, but always have a very bad luck. Every instance I went , every instance closed… Any good advice to choose an instance? I’m kinda tired of being exporting and exporting ad infinitum
I think the safest thing would be self-hosting your own solo GoToSocial instance. With SLURP you could import your entire Mastodon archive… and if you’re not proficient, coding-wise, you could install GoToSocial via YunoHost.org, which is so easy to follow, a total newbie could do it (speaking from experience). The only requirement would be a basic VPS (say, about 5 Euros a month). If you could give up 1-2 coffees a month, it’s not that big of an expense. I personally love my GtS account, as I get to personalize it, setting character limits, uploading my own custom emojis, etc.
this is nice, I’ll do a research. I know yuno but never use it because I can’t have 24/7 raspberry or old pc working
