Omg this new instance is so snappy currently. It’s more responsive on my phone than Twitter is.
@elfprince13 lol I’m currently at 512MB because it was the absolute cheapest on Digital Ocean at 4$/month. I’m gonna try to splurge for the second cheapest coming in at a whopping 6$ 😱
@elfprince13 that one has a whole 1GB 🤣
@patricia huh I’ll have to see if I can get my memory footprint down somehow
@elfprince13 are you also running Pleroma ?
@patricia no, the default mastodon. I followed a tutorial that said 1GB would be fine but it was a little unreliable when I set it up…
@patricia @elfprince13 Probably not want you want and currently they are not open for registerations but the smallest managed hosting from masto.host is $6/month
@elfprince13 @patricia Well slightly more expensive for the ir cheapest Mastodon instance but there is also https://fedi.monster (they also offer GoToSocial and Pixelfed)
@elfprince13 I should add however that I do not know anyone who uses them but I do know several who use mast.host (myself included).
The plan is for masto.host to open up again at some point though.
@elfprince13 @ruari there was a reason I didn’t pick GoToSocial… migration issues? I don’t remember anymore 🙈
