I am soooooo not techy but my fedi timeline is full of techy ppl, and I thought these might be fun to share:
from this thread , Darius K (who developed the Hometown fork for Mastodon) shared this: https://wiby.me/. You can build your own search engine???
In terms of hosting your own fedi instances, there's mastohost and yunohost but these two news are interesting to me:
https://calckey.social/notes/9h3u4tz7h7z8v378 - Chris T announcing Spacehost going to be in closed beta soon. Not just for Mastodon, and in fact they're starting with support for Lemmy and Kbin. (Looking into this to pujuk my friends to try fedi via a Calckey instance)
https://mastodon.social/@pixelfed/110703980980525426 - Pixelfed is kinda like an Instagram analogue and this is announcing shared hosting plans soon for Pixelfed instances. I'm super interested as well because Pixelfed has been really working on tiered access for post privacy (mutuals/followers/specific ppl) with post comment permissions or hybrid Allowlist mode. Also looking into trying to encourage friends to join if I have my own server...
>You can build your own search engine???
do you remember google desktop search?
before https became so ubiquitous, there were also proxy servers that you could run to index the websites you visited on the browser.
I never use kot!
