@aardrian @SaraSoueidan I used masto.host, and it was painless. Literally nothing to worry about it. (But currently closed to new signups due to the demand.) Pleroma (https://pleroma.social) is capable to run on shared hosting, but is not Mastodon but a different Fediverse client – I have never used it, but I heard good stuff about it. And I’m on micro.blog, but that is a whole different thing altogether.
