linuxusers.in is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
@Principia@hachyderm.io FYI I’ve seen people ( @box464 is the first who comes to mind) report that they were able to migrate their Mastodon posts over to a self-hosted GoToSocial instance using the SLURP tool - with a few exceptions / caveats. Worth looking into!
A basic 5 Euros a month VPS + #YunoHost could allow you to set up your GoToSocial account in a few clicks… if you wanted to preserve your archives
Good morning Fedi friends!
My challenge this week: attempting to work a bit in a house where we are 4 adult caretakers and 3 children under 5.
Yesterday while my little one was belatedly painting Easter eggs with grandma, I managed to install #PeerTube – I’m not even sure how that happened! Never mind, I know: the ease of #YunoHost (thank you @yunohost) ❤️
I got up at 6am today to squeeze in a couple of hours of work before everyone wakes up.
Wishing you all a lovely day! 🌞
✨ The magic of 22 ✨
December 22, 2024: I installed #GoToSocial on my Debian VPS thanks to #YunoHost → @elena
February 22, 2025: I installed #Ghost on my Ubuntu VPS using command lines (so many sudo commands!)
April 22, 2025: I upgraded my Debian VPS and installed #PeerTube!
Very excited about this new chapter in my #selfhosting adventures... and I need to find a worthy challenge for June 22 🤗
✨ Timeline cleanse - #LEGO edition ✨
I’ve done some improvements to my LEGO office, adding plants and film/photography equipment to the roof. Plus better support for the #YunoHost sticker on the computer monitor.
OK not exactly realistic because… no shelter from the elements, but I’m experiencing a bricks shortage due to the construction of an airport and a pizzeria for my 4-year-old 😅
The rainbow walls were her idea ❤️
Good morning Fedi friends!
I started the week in the best possible way: lunch with two @yunohost team members. I was trying hard not to fangirl too much 🤗
I thanked them profusely for their incredible work, empowering us all with the tools to self-host. It's thanks to #YunoHost that I have my own #Pixelfed, #GoToSocial and #Friendica accounts. I hope I'll be able to give back one day.
What else? This week I'll publish part 1 of a mini-series about #PeerTube.
Wishing you all a lovely day!
Good morning Fedi friends!
It seems like on the 22nd day of the month I manage to achieve #selfhosting feats 🤗
Dec 22nd: I installed #GoToSocial on my Debian VPS thanks to the magic of #YunoHost: @elena
Feb 22nd: after many attempts and 3 wipes of my Ubuntu VPS (following botched installations) I finally managed to install #Ghost 🥳 https://aseachange.com/@elena/statuses/01JMPN122E41Q1G9280WZMD1RF
I think I can sit back and relax now for the rest of the weekend. LEGOs here I come

Good morning Fedi friends!
Today marks the 2-month anniversary of my #selfhosting journey: on Dec 17 I signed up for a VPS and installed #YunoHost https://mastodon.social/@_elena/113667636910565210
I have never felt more empowered, tech-wise, than in the past two months. I set up my own #GoToSocial, #Pixelfed and #Friendica instances. Seeing the label "admin" next to my name always makes me smile.
Today I will sign up for a 2nd VPS (that runs on Ubuntu) and manually install #Ghost. Wish me luck!
✨ this is what tech empowerment looks like ✨
my year in tech (Feb 2025 edition):
- Jun 2024: started the blog #TheFutureIsFederated
- Jul: started interoperability tests
- Aug: federated my #Wordpress site & joined #Friendica #Lemmy #Mbin and #PieFed
- Sep: federated 2 more sites
- Oct: joined #Sharkey
- Dec: got a #VPS, installed #YunoHost and started self-hosting via #GoToSocial
- Jan 2025: set up my own #Pixelfed and #Friendica instances
- Feb: migrating to my self-hosted #GhostIO blog
This has become a #YunoHost unofficial fan account. Look at all the apps they empower me to self-host!
For the record, I installed YunoHost on my VPS on December 17th, so it’s been less than 2 months. And I’ve already run (and survived) app updates.
Next week I get to meet the team in Paris - thrilled at the opportunity to thank them IRL 🤗
When I booked my train for #FOSDEM in November I was intimidated: will I feel like a fish out of water, since I'm not a developer?
Around that time @ilja recommended I check out @yunohost.
On Dec 17 I signed up for a VPS, installed #YunoHost and in the span of a month I'm now running:
1) a #GoToSocial instance @elena
2) my own #Pixelfed @ele
3) a #LinkStack
4) a #Ghost blog (upcoming)
So I'm a little less intimidated (but still a newbie).
Excited to connect with so many familiar faces 😊

Good morning Fedi friends! 🌞
On my to do list for today: finalizing / publishing a new article for #TheFutureIsFederated (a look back at 2024, plans for 2025) and... installing something else via #YunoHost: my own #LinkStack (for which I have the perfect URL)!
