@Heliograph ah yes! Great quote 😆
As for #GoToSocial, if you’re not familiar with it, I wrote an article about it earlier this year: https://blog.elenarossini.com/gotosocial-empowers-you-to-have-your-own-home-on-the-fediverse-with-unique-controls/

Good morning Fedi friends!
Feeling a little emotional today as I reflect back on one year of #selfhosting.
This toot from December 17 2024 shows off my excitement over signing up for my first VPS and installing #YunoHost: https://mastodon.social/@_elena/113667636910565210
If you check out the full thread you can see some of the challenges I faced in the early days. It's only been a year but it feels like a lifetime ago. When I read back, I think: who was this person? _ (task) is so easy! Like, why be scared of tweaking DNS records? 😅
I will write about the highs and lows in a proper blog post. Spoiler alert: there were mostly HIGHS ☺️
For now, I want to express my gratitude to:
✨ @shollyethan who encouraged me by saying (I'm paraphrasing) "go for it, you learn by doing things"
✨ @ilja who recommended I check out YunoHost (I had never heard of it before)
✨ 
@yunohost@toot.aquilenet.fr for empowering me to self-host so many great FOSS tools... and upgrading and maintaining them in a super easy way
✨ @stereo for helping me test my first self-hosted app (this #GoToSocial account)
And thank you to all the sysadmins and programmers who have helped me troubleshoot problems this year. I found that tech support on the Fediverse takes less than a minute 🥰
I'm really #GratefulForYou 💖

It’s happening!!! I signed up for a #VPS and I’m about to install #YunoHost. Exciteeeeeeed (and slightly scared).
I’m so early in my #Linux journey but I was emboldened after watching a video walkthrough of YunoHost, with the narrator repeating time and time again « it’s so easy a child could do it ».
Let’s see if « it’s so easy a Linux newbie could do it».
Wish me luck! 😅

Good morning Fedi friends! Today is the 1 year anniversary of the start of my #selfhosting adventures with #YunoHost.
I'm currently self-hosting #GoToSocial, #Pixelfed, #PeerTube and #NextCloud – and I'm always on the lookout for the next great app to install.
Thank you @yunohost for making me a more empowered digital citizen 💖
To give back, I'm writing a simple #selfhosting guide for newbies. ICYMI, here's the latest chapter: https://blog.elenarossini.com/a-newbies-guide-to-self-hosting-with-yunohost-part-2-installation-setup/
Wishing you all a great day!

Is 2026 when you throw the switch and go 100% self-hosting #gotosocial account? 😃

@randahl my favorite thing about my self-hosted #GoToSocial account ( @elena) is that I set a 2500 character limit and I never have to do threads anymore...

I’m happy to announce WhyPost, a Flutter-based app currently available as a beta release.
WhyPost lets you connect multiple Fediverse accounts in one app, including Mastodon, Akkoma, Pleroma, GoToSocial, and Friendica.
Download (Beta):
https://codeberg.org/whypost/whypost-mobile/releases
The app already supports creating posts, replies, reposts, comments, editing profiles, and deleting posts.
There are still bugs, so feedback is welcome via our Matrix room.
