Official Lemmy instance to migrate off reddit
Honestly if a server allows free login, then it shouldn't matter how the donations are spent, the admins are probably at a loss anyway. I've seen large phpBB forums run on donations for a long time, so maybe federated socials can work too. One unfortunate thing I've noticed from running a single-user GoToSocial instance is that it consumes a lot of storage, I'm getting 8Gb just from myself and the instances I follow. This could be brought down with more agressive cache settings, but it still shows that people using these new social media still have habits from Twitter or Reddit, where bandwidth and storage is paid for by advertisers, and don't realize how many gigabytes they're casually moving around. I really hope this won't be the downfall of the Fediverse.

ActivityPub domains and interactions across different instances on the fediverse
I'll be starting my own instance of the fediverse, something for myself and family only. I'll start with gotosocial, and add a reddit like alternative too, but haven't decided between kbin or lemmy yet. Maybe I'll add pixelfed down the line.

A server to start in the fediverse.
gotosocial is easy to install and easy to use, but you need 3rd party apps on your phone or computers to use it properly. Another option is snac2, you need to compile it manually but it is easy to use once compiled. Its web interface is kinda outdated, but it is usable as it is. Both are very light on resources, and can be installed on $4 vps.

We need a textodon (text-only Fediverse hub)
GotoSocial would be another option (also in Go with SQLite backend.) Although you'll need a front-end because it doesn't ship with one.

Running own Instance
Not sure if you only want Mastodon. If not, I am running https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial on a CPX11 Hetzner instance which costs 5.18 euros/month. Am hosting a few other things, but CX11 instance for 4.51 euros/month will also do well.
- Can I use Mastodon as the backend for the social features in my app?

How much I’ve spent so far running my own Mastodon server on AWS
The main one is how they handle keys[1] which broke federation with Pleroma for a while. There's also some weirdness with their HTTP signing which breaks Honk follow requests but I'm still tracking that down.

Mastadon apps feature comparison
Compare mastodon, pleroma, misskey, friendica, gotosocial, pixelfed, peertube (https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial) and their main forks.

I'll play: creating my own server
As u/riffic mentioned, Mastodon is quite heavy. But since mastodon follows (mostly) standard protocols, you can host an alternative. I’m really interested in Gotosocial, which is written in Go so it can run on a cheaper VPS. But it doesn’t seem to support all features (which will be a common thing with alternatives).

Mobile Ad Blocker Will No Longer Stop YouTube's Ads
Don't use Youtube without going through a proxy like Invidious [1] or Newpipe
Don't use {site} Search without going through a proxy like SearxNG [2]
Don't use TwiXXer without going through a proxy like Nitter - this has gotten more difficult lately but it still works as long as you feed the daemon some registered accounts. Video does not work at the moment but that seems to be fixable.
Don't use Reddit without going through a proxy like libreddit [4]
Start noticing the pattern? Maybe it is time to start producing promotional posters:
The only thing to come between you and ADS could be a proxy / ADS. I'ts just not worth the risk
ADS / New rules for a sane net / Sane net protects you, your partner and your community
A proxy here and a filter there, ADS nowhere
The more you tighten your grip, ${site}, the more viewers will slip through your fingers

Teddit Is Shutting Down
This is a particular teddit instance shutting down, not teddit the software project.
Stuff is moving a lot currently and there is a bumpy road ahead, but there are several courses of action already being mapped out (scraping html, r-e the private gql api, a setting for operators to put some auth token, ..).

Ask HN: Is Reddit imposing rate limits too?
Sadly the quick refresh is no longer working for me, and going through all of the instances on Libredirect, they all seem to be constantly down now.
It appears that they are trying to deal with this issue here:

Joey is still working because of less users
Yes, the official Reddit app uses a different endpoint for authentication. There has been great progress in reverse-engineering the private API: https://github.com/libreddit/libreddit/issues/818
- Version 1.21 released

Nitter just died today.
There's a fork of Libreddit that uses the API key leaked from the official Reddit app: https://github.com/libreddit/libreddit/pull/819
