I kind to want to jump to a smaller instance

I self host! Very nice having an instance all to myself.

Same here. I love owning my own identity.

I'm planning to self host - but just have one question, mostly a confirmation, as long as you're not hosting communities, you can comment and interact with others, without needing other instances to explicitly sync with your insurance, right?

I kind of want my own instance just to control what communities I sync for my own account, but not going to host any myself, so defederation of some instances doesn't affect me (unless I myself want to block them)

That sounds correct to me.

This is exactly what I'm doing and it has been working great so far.

Do the big instances need to give permission, to your self-hosted instance, to read and post on their communities?

Do those instance owners need to manually approve access from some unknown small instance?

I aim to self-host myself, one of these days. I'm having analysis paralysis picking a VPS tho, because I'll want to move my other online socials there too.

Use Docker or Ansible or something, so that migrating between VPSs is easy.

(Also, if you're solid, what does that make me?!)
