In the UK the BBC are running their own instance social.bbc on trial basis, and I think the trial was recently extended.
Hopefully other public bodies will follow suit.
You know, it just occurred to me that it'd probably be useful if there were providers providing and maintaining instances as turnkey operations. Most organizations won't want to host themselves, but might still want to pay for a (reasonably cheap) instance.
Anyone know what commercial options are out there? A really quick search didn't turn up anything for me.
I found 2, but I am sure there are more. https://masto.host/ https://toot.io/mastodon_hosting.html
