@vagnretur We're not planning to have a flagship instance, but we're confident several community-run instances will emerge soon!
To get a feel for what's included in Bonfire Social, you can sign up on our Campground (https://campground.bonfire.cafe), it's a testing instance (federation disabled) where you can explore features, discuss UX, and optionally report bugs or suggest improvements...

@krafting We'd like to switch to an open source tool that can be more directly integrated so that translators can directly see where each piece of text is used: https://github.com/bonfire-networks/bonfire-app/issues/698

@diegokehrle Hey since you were interested in setting up a Bonfire instance — this one’s for you! 👇

We’re kicking off a round of online install parties: https://indieweb.social/@bonfire/114714885183430725

For those wondering what kind of server is needed for Bonfire, see this thread: https://indieweb.social/@bonfire/114714550261653975

@BjornW@quillmatiq

The resources your Bonfire instance needs mostly depend on:

- How many local users are active at the same time
- How many remote users follow local users (and from how many instances)
- How many distinct remote users are followed by local users
- The volume and frequency of posts and other activities

Unless you already have a dedicated server, a flexible virtual server can be a good option so you can scale RAM/CPU as your instance grows, e.g: https://www.hetzner.com/cloud/

@BjornW@quillmatiq Apologies for missing that! The technical answer is that you can run it on most devices (including a Raspberry Pi) but the honest answer is that for a snappy experience you want to have enough RAM available (say 8 GB or more, depending of course on how big the instance will be).

@dansup how could we have bonfire servers on fedidb be linked to the correct app? 🙏 https://fedidb.com/servers/bonfire.cafe
