"So you're building a Fediverse server? Here's a bunch of things to think about and to decide." It's a short 6 pages text, rather quick to read.
EDIT: by "building a Fediverse server" I don't mean the software, I mean the instance itself. You know: hosting it, administrating it, moderating it, creating a community, etc. The main points that the text talks about are governance, vibes, documentation, mod team, decision making, community involvement, money, legal stuff, contact with other server operators.
It's more like for instance admins rather than the developers of the server software itself. At least that's how I understand it.
By "building a Fediverse server" I meant exactly that, not software developers. (Thanks for pointing it out though - it means that my explanation was ambiguous. I'll edit the above accordingly.)
Right, as a software developer myself, I equated "build" as "building" the software, not "building" the community or administration around an instance 😅
Ah, that explains it.
It's kind of funny because when I used the word "building" the first thing that came to my mind was the server as a house - like, you're building a digital home for a bunch of people. So the idea was in the opposite direction as yours. Just language things.
I think also the use of the word "server" instead of "instance", but it's quite a small semantic nitpick.
