Running my own instance using AWS’s free tier for now, though I think I’ll keep it after. It makes scaling soo easy and simple if my instance ever takes off. Which I don’t know if it ever will lol. The reason why I even created one is to actually use my domain name for something rather than keep paying for a domain that I’ll never use for anything.
I’ve been thinking about self-hosting my own instance just for friends and family after the drama of different instances defederating others.
But I have a tactical question that I can’t find the answer to. When you self host your own instance are you automatically federated across all the other instances? Can you interact and comment?
