I went through the documentation and tried to spin up a Socialhome instance of my own. I couldn’t quite get it working with either the Ansible playbook method or the docker container method (I’ve gotten better with those things nowadays, but the docs weren’t too helpful).

I contacted the project’s creator and tried to hire him to help me make an instance. He said he wasn’t planning on putting a ton of energy into this project going forward, which I was disappointed to hear since it’s so cool.

My own personal Socialhome page has been going strong for about a year, though it is basically just a place to host my portfolio of 3D work and sculptures. I don’t use the social feed too much. The Fediverse is a lot less mature than I’d like, but I’m rooting for it.
