Experimenting with deploying my own Mastodon instance. It's not..terrible? Need to get a SMTP service set up though before I consider doing anything "production" with it.
If anyone has any tips/suggestions for things to think about up front that are hard to fix later, I'm all ears. Using helm and the chart provided by Mastodon. So far the only thing I tweaked was setting up ElasticSearch as a single node / all-role master, since I only have one k8s node.
