Elena Rossini on GoToSocial ⁂<p>🏕️ my adventures in <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosting</span></a> - day 93 ✨</p><p>Thanks to the brilliant advice of <span class="h-card"><a href="https://woof.tech/@CyberSaloperie" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>CyberSaloperie</span></a></span> I have found an easy-to-implement, no sweat solution for my redirect issue. I am about to create a test subdomain with <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/yunohost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YunoHost</span></a> to try it out before I make the real switch (from my current Ghost blog to the new, self-hosted one).</p><p>Maybe tomorrow I'll share with you the URL of my self-hosted Ghost blog if you want to try things out? 🙈 I have already imported my existing members, I'm ready to go 🚀</p><p>And yes, I'm fully aware the timing of my switch (from a Ghost Pro plan to self-hosted) is odd, considering Ghost Pro accounts are now part of the Fediverse. It's just that I couldn't justify spending so much ($31/month) on a free, non-monetized blog that I am capable of self-hosting. It's 6x the cost of my Debian or Ubuntu VPS.</p><p>And I kept getting close to the edge of 1000 members, which would have increased my monthly payments. Now I don't have to stress out about getting new readers. From what I understand <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/activitypub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ActivityPub</span></a> followers count as members for Ghost, so someone who gets a sizable following on their federated Ghost site would have to pay more.</p><p>I'm sure many people will love this feature (it's fantastic!) but it's not for me. I already have 3 federated Wordpress blogs and too many ActivityPub profiles as it is 🙃</p><p><a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/mysocalledsudolife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MySoCalledSudoLife</span></a></p>
