@Elena Rossini ⁂    Would you be interested in trying out @Streams  ?

I have been following your journey in the fediverse, and realized that you might not be aware, or have had a chance to try out @Streams   or Forte https://codeberg.org/fortified/forte

Both are from the same developer @Mike Macgirvin 🖥️    .  Both are about as easy to set up and host as Wordpress and allow you to connect to Mastodon and all the other fediverse players.   By self-hosting you are not at the whims of an administrator.  There are also several features that @Streams has that I often see people from Mastodon wishing for.

@Elena Rossini ⁂ Great! I was hoping you had heard about it at least. I am very happy to hear you will give it a try soon.

@Adam Robertson of course I've heard of it. I really admire @Mike Macgirvin 🖥️ 's projects. I see it's available amongst #YunoHost's apps, so I will definitely install it / try it out later this year. But first: I need to upgrade my VPS plan 😅

I would suggest to Elena to also create a Streams account at a trusted Streams host, which can be done now, this to try cloning of your own channels to your new Streams instance later. Then you get first hand experience with live backup and being in two places at once.
