I migrated from my self-hosted Mastodon instance to mastodon.social. Of course, I couldn't move my posts so I created a small server to provide the archive of my post history without changing any #ActivityPub URIs or media URLs. It seems to be working well. RAM usage is down from 1.2GB to 45MB (-97%) and disk usage down from 160GB to 15MB (-99.99% drop) compared to keeping the old server running. I've been surprised how many "hits" I'm seeing for old posts, so I'm glad the archive is available.

@invisible The Mastodon instance consumed excessive resources IMO in my "home lab" that I'd rather use for something else. If anything, I have more room for tinkering now.
However, it was also always a challenge to stay well-connected with a single-user instance. Even with relays, I was missing out of parts of conversations. -

activitypub.space aggregates a few that are ActivityPub related.

@Steve_Bate wow it was a resource hog when you were running your own instance! I keep thinking about setting my own up but I'm not sure if I want to burden my home server with that

@julian Yeah, I used Fedibuzz and that definitely
helped. -

@Damon my wild-ass guess is ballooning S3 storage costs.
