I'm no stranger to self hosting Fediverse/ActivityPub applications.

Crikey, I ran Laconica back in 2009 when @evan@cosocial.ca still had a moustache.

I have also hosted GotoSocial and Pleroma. Never took the step to get Mastodon running (seemed too heavyweight, complex and intimidating).

However, I can't emphasise how different #LittleFedi is for a normal, non-technical user who has some spare hosting capacity available and just wants to install, configure a Fediverse presence and then forget about it.

Which seems precisely the design aim of LittleFedi and this quote from @stefano@bsd.cafe really resonated with me.

'What I kept wanting was something I could put on a small machine, in a corner, and then stop
thinking about. No runtime to keep current, no database server to babysit, no container stack, no
build pipeline that breaks the week I am travelling'.

@andyc @evan @stefano It looks great! I've been following progress for a while. I have nowhere to host it though, so am waiting for a public instance to be open for signups.
