I’m thinking about deploying my own instance where I’d be the only user and most probable I won’t have any communities.
The only thing there will be my account to interact with as many other instances as I want.

What would be de pros and cons of having my account like this?
Would it be harder to interact with other instances in some way?

    I personally haven’t had any issues with doing so! I run a few instances of different software in the Fediverse:

    • Matrix
    • Mastodon
    • PeerTube
    • Lemmy

    Of them all, I found that Lemmy and Matrix were the easiest to “get into” due to the fact that its incredibly easy to subscribe to a remote community, and instantly be able to see posts from that community. Same principal with Matrix as well! I even went ahead and put up my Lemmy instance on a domain that wasn’t directly tied to my name so that others could have an account as well (Whereas for example, I wouldn’t really expect someone to want a @username:russ.network handle for Matrix, other than myself).
