I like the idea of using a phone for a web server. There could be an app, a simple CMS, a simple CDN. Not much different from social media websites, but maybe more decentralised.

Then again, actual servers seem more reliable in practice; and decentralised platforms like e.g. pixelfed [1] work well for me for this kind of usage.

Can you explain what Pixelfed.org is?

Is it a self-hosted Mastodon instance, with the sole purpose of hosting your photos (and videos)?

Why is there a reference to AWS, to do the heavy lifting instead of rely on your own server?


Pixelfed is to instagram what mastodon is for twitter
