Good morning Fedi friends!
I know this is not the right place to ask for this but I'm in need of a Jiminy Cricket / voice of reason to talk me out of something I am sooo tempted to do:
1) buy a new domain name (to be fair it would be a good move to secure it, can't explain why till I do)
2) set up my own Sharkey instance with it (no need for this whatsoever except that I'm impossibly smitten with it)... to use this as a private little instance to interact with friends / contacts.
I can't get Sharkey out of my mind, help 😆

Just buy the domain name, if it’s under 20€. Set a reminder for 11 months from now to check if you still want / need it.

Als Antwort auf Elena Rossini on GoToSocial ⁂ • •@Elena Rossini on GoToSocial ⁂ I really like Sharkey and its cousins, but so far they seem to have some problems with apps like Tusky.
That's why I don't run an instance of my own.
So... Go for it! 😁

Do you envision a way to use Sharkey?
More/less integration with Ghost/GoToSocial, or different post for different user public?

I suppose I want a quieter instance where I just comment on friends' / contacts' posts.
My Mastodon account can get so noisy, with 100+ mentions some days.
I just want a little quiet corner of the fediverse that's a little bit slower, if it makes sense? And Sharkey is so joyous

And yes, I understand the reasoning behind it.
And to keep it private / away from the bulk of the fediverse: good point!
(Go for it!
)
But why a new domain, why not install it on a subdomain? (This from someone who buys new domains for funny phrases her neighbors say, only to let them lapse after 12 months of non-use)
