I first posted on the fediverse back in 2018 on a mastodon.social account.

Before long I set up a server of my own with masto.host.

In 2023 the increasing cost of using a hosting provider prompted me to host my own Akkoma server on a Raspberry Pi. Mastodon is too inefficient to work well on cheap hardware so I went with a lighter alternative.

This week I picked up a Lenovo Workstation at my work that was being retired and set it up to be my new server at home. I decided to go back to using Mastodon again with the more capable hardware in my closet.

Each time I moved my posts didn't come with me. It's still weird to me that migration hasn't been elegantly solved on the fediverse. I keep a digest of things I post and boost on the fediverse at my blog: https://apollolemmon.com/category/social/
