@killyourfm Why not try #Friendica or #Hubzilla? Or say, #Calckey? There is also #Socialhome. Other than Calckey, the other three can connect to the #Diaspora network, too, which itself have a large following.

I used to run my own Friendica and Hubzilla instances on a cheap VPS hosting. To not feel ‘lonely’, subscribe your instance to a discovery service/relay. It should give your federation timeline more activities.

But, yes, if I decide to have my own instance again, I'll prefer a managed hosting, and I'll pick #Streams and Calckey next.

@youronlyone Thanks for the suggestions! I honestly don't know anything about those services (though I do know the names).

I have 7K followers on Mastodon though. Not something I want to abandon.

@killyourfm@layer8.space @youronlyone@c.im not sure about the others, but Calckey lets you migrate your Mastodon account over, and brings all your followers with you! It's also super easy to set up and self host, you just need a fresh Ubuntu server and we have a one-liner install script that'll do all the heavy lifting for you :)
