So, how do people run their own personal #fediverse instances? What software? Self-hosted or paying for hosting?

To do my part in ensuring the fediverse stays diverse, I think I'd rather not use mastodon. Also, I'd rather not run that kind of bloat on my small homelab when selfhosting

@yarmo this instance runs mastodon, self-hosted. Uses 1.5 GB of RAM, fairly static (the VM has 2 GB allocated in total). Doesn't feel bloated to me, reasonable that extra memory is used for caching.
