Curious what kind of luck people have had running a single-user, self-hosted @gotosocial@gts.superseriousbusiness.org instance instead of joining a larger shared node.
With relays in GotoSocial, my feed is great—I can discover pretty much everything I care about. My bigger question is the *other* direction. I've heard some instances de-prioritize or outright limit federation from low-volume, self-hosted, or otherwise unknown nodes.
If you're mostly consuming content, I imagine it's a non-issue. But if you actually want to participate in conversations, are you giving up reliable interaction by running your own tiny instance?
Curious to hear real-world experiences. #Mastodon #Fediverse #SelfHosting #GoToSocial
