@dirkhaun XXL

After running just fine for 14 days, my #Mastodon instance stopped working. All it showed was the cute animation of a mastodon banging the keyboard of a computer. My iOS app had also stopped updating my timeline. The server was quite obviously down. What happened?

So when it became obvious that #Twitter was going down the drain, I started looking for alternatives and quickly settled on #Mastodon. After a brief stint as @dirkhaun@troet.cafe I began to wonder how easy (or not) it would be to run my own instance.
