I migrated from my self-hosted Mastodon instance to mastodon.social. Of course, I couldn't move my posts so I created a small server to provide the archive of my post history without changing any #ActivityPub URIs or media URLs. It seems to be working well. RAM usage is down from 1.2GB to 45MB (-97%) and disk usage down from 160GB to 15MB (-99.99% drop) compared to keeping the old server running. I've been surprised how many "hits" I'm seeing for old posts, so I'm glad the archive is available.
