One of the easiest ways to start your own Mastodon instance : https://masto.host
I’m looking for this answer, thank you!
You probably don’t want that. Even once you get past the technical hurdles (having a server, configuring eveything), which could be easily offered as a paying service, you would still be responsible from moderating the instance.
I’m not talking about myself as I’m already know how to do just that. I just thought it would scare some people getting into the fediverse.
I’m exploring Yunohost as a general self-hosting solution which includes fediverse places like mastodon, pixelfed, and many others in the works. You just hit a button to install it and then boom, instance! The yunohost project even provides a domain name for people who don’t want to/can afford to pay for a domain name

I don’t wanna use yunohost for that same reason. because it’ll be pretty embarrassing if I recommended yunohost for easy installation but it’ll then lead them to bigger problems they wouldn’t understand. sure, I can point out who to talk to, find solutions at. but that’ll mean I’m telling them they’ll have problems.
You need to have some basic technical know-how, but there are some fediverse software projects that have requirements similar to Wordpress and thus can be run on cheap php only webhosting.
Hubzilla/Friendica/Zap and maybe Pixelfed fall in that general category.
Since your instance will federate with others anyways it is probably best to make registration limited to yourself and friends/family.
I’m asking this not for myself, but in case someone wanted to run an instance themselves and they’re not as tech savvy. but I guess they have to learn the basics still.
Hosting www plus hubzilla or friendica its easyer way imho
Did you really had to clarify that you are a human being? Are you secretly an alien?
same planet as zuckerberg senpai :) he is kinda cringe doe
