@JillsJoy I hope you don't mind me asking but was it easy to set up your own server?

I don't mind at all!

I use toot.io to host it for me. I bought the domain name and then pay toot.io to host the server, do the upgrades, etc. I hardly ever have to think about it.

I know that @pixelcats actually does run her own server, if that sounds more like what you are looking for. I think @FediTips also has tips on how to build your own.
