Sorry. My other attempt just kept hanging.
This one is 'gotosocial', which is only a backend, so I had to supply a web frontend for it!
Whatever. It's all fun - I mean, except the part where I am bothering all y'all with my repeated follow requests... yeah. Sorry.
Hopefully I will land on this as my server and my instance.
Better to have my own server than depend on someone else anyhow right?
