How to run a small social network site for your friends
runyourown.social
This document exists to lay out some general principles of running a small social network site that have worked for me. These principles are related to community building more than they are related to specific technologies.

I just found this article and thought it was rather neat. I haven’t carefully read it all through, though.

What do you think?

    Wow, great article, thanks for sharing! For me, my favorite part was the discussion about the missing technical aspects of the fediverse. For example, I would like to see a way to mirror or link accounts across instances. I also agree with the author that there should be more local chat spaces and custom instance behavior, since I think it would be great for community building
