Comments: This article gives a general rundown of what it is like to run your own small social network. Comments: This is a set of easy to follow technical guides on how to set up servers and other services.
Comments: This is a list of already existing programs that could be used as a base. These three resources, especially when read in order, seem to give a good foundation. I will share more links as I find them. Everyone, please feel free to add anything here that you find useful too!

I know what you mean the platforms that are labeled as the fediverse and run on activity pub. Yes, exactly. Thank you for mentioning it! My comments were a little brief. Here are some more detailed explanations for anyone who is interested... * The author of the first article explicitly mentions both Mastodon and Pleroma. These are programs for connecting to the " fediverse" (i.e.: a network of interconnected servers) through the ActivityPub protocol, amongst others. However, the article is generally about community organization itself rather than its technical implementation. * The second link is a set of guides that show how to rent a virtual private server (VPS) and host a wide variety of different tools on it. [There is a list of these tools on the homepage. If you hover over each logo, it will give a description of what it is.] The author uses Vultr in their demonstration, but there are a lot of other VPS providers that have been mentioned elsewhere [particularly within this thread on the Yesterweb Forum]. * The author of the third article gives a rundown of the features of several freely available social network programs. These can be installed to a VPS in a manner similar to the above, or for our self-hosters here, to your own server. Hope that helps!
