#fediTips > What could be done to .. increase the user base ..? Our problem @taylorlorenz@mastodon.social? The fact that influencer like you refuse to setup their own instances. You can do that with a few clicks from where you are right now, for example with @mastohost@mastodon.social, and offer your followers a profile on your server. They become your community member, supporting your work with a modest yearly fee. And don't go big is beautiful! Exclusiveness is key and moderation the bottle neck of healthy social media.
