No worries, we’ll figure out how this works someday.

    Great, guys. I go through the trouble of purchasing “daystrominstitute.us” and standing up a Digital Ocean droplet and just found out that somebody way more competent beat me to the punch! /s

    I’d like to share a few thoughts, if I may.

    I still don’t know the technical abilities of the Fediverse at-large and how customizable individual servers are. So some of these may be impossible or irrelevant.

    1) I’d like to see a summary page of hosting costs with the ability to help out. We’re kinda on our own here and nobody should have to bear the Brunt alone.

    2) It would be nice to see an onboarding wiki to show new users. Maybe explaining how the concepts here map to their equivalent Reddit terms.

    1. Since (I’m assuming) this is a hosted cloud instance from one of our more technically inclined officers, it may also be good to have a page of other devops type people who can help out with server tasks when needed.

    With that said, I’m genuinely thrilled to see people back and can’t wait to dive back in to reading fanon so detailed that it makes a doctoral dissertation look like a shopping list.

    Cheers!

    Edit: Perusing the threads and it looks like most everything I wanted is already here!
