Hello, hello! Federation is federating.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about hosting your own instance. I’m by no means an expert, but it would appear that I have successfully deployed my own.
I just spun up my own instance as well and it does feel a bit like I’m just pulling from the biggest instances and feeding my own without really being able to give much back.
