I’m curious about this, I have a server that I used to use for a Minecraft server, but it has been shut off for a while.
What would be the downside of hosting your own instance? Maybe it would be automatically defederated from other instances?

The main problem is that you have to do a lot learning by doing, because there are not clear instructions…
Other than the setup I’d say there is no clear drawback to hosting it yourself. I guess its even better than hosting something like mastodon yourself, because the content you want to get is already grouped in communities and you don’t have the annoyingly long discovery phase one has when starting a mastodon server
I’m going to give it a go sometime this week, even if I don’t end up hosting my own instance, I think there’s a lot of valuable information that I’ll learn both about kbin and the fediverse in general. Thank you.
If you have issues, feel free to @ me. I don’t have a answer for everything, but I know of a couple of common mistakes.
And the matrix chat is relatively active
Thanks a bunch!
@BentiGorlich Great point about the matrix chat, need to get acquainted with that finally as most of the other projects I am involved in are communicating via Discord. Are you administering The Brain Bin?
yeah I got matrix only for that.
Yeah I am :-)
@BentiGorlich Nice, well, see you there!
