You don't need a fixed IP. I ran a self-hosted at home for more than a year.

Which instance do you host? I mean, in which platform?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 years ago

I hosted (time ago). I hosted in PureOS installed in a desktop computer.

Mastodon takes quite a lot resources if you allow other users to use it and federate with a lot of instances. Both in storage and memory.

Bandwidth is not a big deal. I could deal with a few users in a ADSL2+ network.
