I'm looking to set up my own Misskey server, so any recommendations for a cloud/host service that isn't shitty and cucked would be appreciated.
Also, I don't know what the hell I'm doing but I'll try to piece everything together with tutorials, even though I could only find Mastodon server tutorials. All I know is that I need those two things mentioned above.
@veru i'd recommend setting it all up on your own since this method can lag a bit behind on updates, and if you do it yourself you can update things immediately when they're present.
but you can check out fediverse.express if you're just looking for a simple way to make an instance! :) i tried making a misskey one at first and there were some unique features there, but ultimately i went with pleroma.
then the people i made the instance for stopped using it. i updated it manually at one point to fix something, and then something else broke because of a regression in that update, so i tried to update automatically through f.e but the way it sets up the initial install is really weird so since i had done some manual tinkering it fucked the entire instance.
if i ever make another one i'll probably do it by hand.
