Self hosting Mastodon
With the recent migration from Twitter to Mastodon, there has been discussions around people self hosting instances.
To this end, I am trying to compile a list of required skills to help people with the process.
I would assume if you want to self host an instance, then you are already on Mastodon anyway. If not It would be beneficial to join mastodon in the first instance that way you can ask questions about this directly, to this end there is a invite link here

If you need help, there are several people on Mastodon who you can follow such as @binarytango@msdn.binarytango.com and myself @zleap@qoto.org, even though I am probably not much help other than trying to find people or resources to help and updating this page of course.
