Federated hosting
If you are looking to host your own service such as Peertube, Mastodon etc, but would prefer to use managed hosting there are now several options
On a related note there is also the project by Aral Balkan who's Small Technology Foundation [1] is building the small web [2]

Website on pi
I spent some time on last night, setting up a mini web server on m Raspberry pi.
So running a http server on a Raspberry Pi.
For this project I am just using the python3-test-server package,
- Install python3-test-server
- Create a directory to hold some html files
- Change to this directory
- Create a very basic html file e.g index.html
- run python3 -m http.server:7800 where 7800 is the port you want to use
In the browser go to ip:7800
What I have done here, however is
I have, gone a little further than this:
In order to share my free software video dvd (and other resources) with people I:-
- Uploaded files to the server
- Created a web link to the iso file
- Edited my router firewall so it would allow a connection to the pi
I then shared the appropriate IP address with a friend via irc so he could download the ISO file, and it worked really well.

Ghostreply
Ghost Reply
I was recently given a link, again via Mastodon to Ghostreply which allows job agency candidates to send a message to recruiters, who, think it is acceptable to sign people up to their recruitment service, then totally ignore them (Ghosting), this is seen by candidates as very unprofessional. As a victim of this myself, I am very supportive of tools such as this.
It is most annoying when you go to an interview, then go through the usual DBS checks and even under go Child Protection training to then be ignored, only to discover later the person who you thought was your contact has left, she didn't have the professional courtesy to let me know. Even more irritating when the person who was also interviewing does not let people know either.

Mobilizon
Mobilizon is a privacy respecting, federated events management platform. I was given the link on Mastodon after asking if there are any alternatives to Meetup.
I have signed up and the process is really easy, the terms and conditions are also presented in a format that is easy to read / understand (big plus).
You don't need to sign up in order to say you are going to a meeting, another big plus for privacy etc.

Promoting Torbay
I have set up an account on Mastodon (https://mastodon.org.uk) in order to help promote Torbay in South Devon, UK and what is has to offer.
This is a small project, I am not getting paid to do this, but hopefully, in undertaking this I am able to demonstrate initiative and other useful skills.
I will be adding photos and information / links to local attractions, etc.
Hopefully see if the local Tourist board will look in to getting on the Fediverse more formally, to help promote.
As the UK is in another Covid19 lockdown, to avoid yet another holiday season being written off, The cost to the local economy, if this happens, will be catastrophic. Why not take the time to explore as many ways to promote the local area and business as possible.
One way to get the fediverse to grow is to perhaps have accounts such as this, as it gives people a reason to join as there is something interesting to follow.
