Thank you! :blob_cat_heart:

@feditips To clarify, it's not the moderation part I can't meet, it's the having more than one person with access to the physical server and the part about backups, since I don't have control over those things. It's one of those things where I saw a problem and created the solution, but needed to minimize how much time I needed to spend on the technical side of it being as I work full time.

FediTips has moved!

@Faylen

Masto.host takes daily backups as part of its hosting plans, so that's not an issue.

The "more than one person with access" doesn't mean the physical server hardware, it just means you need to have more than one person with admin-level access.

(It's basically trying to avoid a situation where an admin disappears and there's no one around to fix problems.)

@Faylen

If you can find someone else to co-admin, you just need to use your existing admin account to create a second account with admin-level access permissions, then give that account to the co-admin.

@feditips Oh! I misread it then, and in that case that should be easy enough to solve. At the moment there's only one account that actually posts so there isn't much need for two admins, but I'm sure I can find someone willing to be a backup just in case. I'll look into that then, and glad to know using masto.host doesn't disqualify the instance. Thank you for that. :)

@Faylen

By the way, I run the @FediGarden list so if you want to message me on that account when you feel ready, I'd be glad to take a look at your server!
