@joel great write-up Joel! LMK if I get this right: you set up a dedicated GtS account for your photos [at]moments (they look great in the grid!) and you set up a microblogging GtS [at]joel on the same server, correct? So you're technically running 2 GoToSocial accounts on one server?

I'm tempted to move some dormant Fedi accounts to my GtS, consolidating things but I don't know how many I could do. Like can I move my Sharkey and Friendica followers to my GtS that already has 1.8k followers? 🤔

@_elena yes, your assumptions are correct 😊 I now run a multi-user GoToSocial instance :)

I don’t know how much traffic a GtS instance can support. My accounts have like 300 followers at the maximum. But you can still boost a post from a GtS instance with an account that has 1.8k followers. This should make the followers’ servers connect to the GtS instance and see if it supports that many connections.

Side-thought: performance may differ if you run on a supported Linux or FreeBSD platform; I run on the unsupported OpenBSD platform using relayd rather than nginx. So I may not have to fastest possible experience :)
