However, I have not tested fully, as there is no flagship instance. I have been testing it only through the sandbox (https://sandbox.openscience.network). As it based on Bonfire, you can test Bonfire on its campgroung : https://campground.bonfire.cafe. But you will miss the science specific features.
I am working in my university to see if we can run an instance of Open Science Network.

@fresseng @lavaeolus @UlrikeHahn @Bonfire yes, I do think we need a flagship instance to get it started and running. Sandboxing will not cut it.

They do not want to, and I understand why : it is to keep it truly federated.
Furthermore, running such an instance has costs. My feeling is that it is the responsibility of the scientific community to host OSN servers.
We manage to do it for emails (SMTP protocol) : why not for OSN (ActivityPub protocol) ?
