Kickstarting single-user discoverability on Mastodon/GTS/Non-Lemmy parts of the fediverse (lemmy.w.on-t.work)

We're getting plenty of posts regarding selfhosting Lemmy, but with Twitter simultaneously imploding in on itself I assume a fair few of us here have brought up/thinking of bringing up our own microblogging as well.

Lemmy is the best case scenario when it comes to discoverability within single-user instances, as you can just start following communities and start socializing almost immediately, whereas on Mastodon & co you need to build up a follower base before hashtags and whatnot start federating and it starts being more than just "you shouting out into the void".

So what I'm proposing here is a thread to share your selfhosted fedi presence outside Lemmy, so we can kickstart the discoverability process among each other, and slowly integrate our single-user/low-user/just new in general instances into the wider fediverse.

I guess I'll start off first: You can find me as @shittykopper@toots.w.on-t.work. I haven't posted all that much yet because of the above "shouting out into the void" feeling though, so it's pretty empty for now.

No idea if Gotosocial supports relays or not, which is my choice of software so far. There seems to be some incompatiblilty between gup.pe and GTS (alpha software and all, expected issues obviously) so those are a no-go as well.

Following accounts are fine, but it's really the creation part that causes issues. Unless you go full on reply guy, and I have at least some sliver of shame left in my body to not go full reply guy.
