  I didn’t give it nearly as much thought before I started.

  In terms of price, you can set a very low price for a single-user instance. Hetzner and Netcup, for example, offer very affordable VPS (these are providers I know of, but there are certainly others).

  I don’t see open registration as a problem either. I’ve had it for years, and when I get waves of spam, which is very rare, I switch to moderated mode, otherwise it remains open.

  I would host software according to your preferences. I should have kept Friendica running and turned off Mastodon, but that ship has sailed for me.

  For a single-user instant, it might be interesting to connect to a relay; it is important that it is moderated. Fedimins offers such a service.

  That sounds like Fedimins. We use Discourse with the AP plugin. fedimins.net

  For blogging, I can recommend Writefreely. Hubzilla and Friendica both have features similar to Facebook.

  Sorry, I must not have been awake enough, I misread it. kbin is dead when I look at the repo, but piefed still looks very young as a project.

  And pixelfed is your alternative? That’s not even close to the same usecase.

  I use it for Fedimins and RPG-Foren. Works great.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any fediverse like discord clones?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The AP is not really good for chats, so I would rather use the Matrix protocol that Element, for example, offers as a client.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you use other federated software besides Lemmy (e.g. Mastodon/Pixelfed/etc.), if so which?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mastodon, Writefreely, Flohmarkt, Mobilizon
