I like using https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial for similar reasons as the article. Very easy to set up and works with all mastodon front ends.

I was eyeing microblogpub for a while, but now that development has stalled I'm coming around to GTS as well — should I ever self host a single user fedi instance.

I've had success using yunohost for single user instance of bookwyrm and GTS. It's worked out for about a year now. I also have an instance of https://forgejo.org/ that I'm hoping at some point will get federation in issues/stars/ect...

Oh, I tested YNH for a while on a local server, and I wiped the whole thing when I saw the mess it made of my file system. I must have a deeper need to know where everything goes than the urge for convenience 😄

It compartmentalizes things into each app. It's both good and bad. It's a tradeoff situation def. Some people will use docker and/or kub. It's all the same result though.

Good to know, I'll brace myself for disappointment when I try out Docker next 😄
