Oh? Any chance you can point to something about these local governments hosting fediverse instances? I just did a quick search but didn't see anything

    From the top of my head, there are:

    City of Amsterdam https://social.amsterdam.nl/
    Baden-Württemberg https://xn--baw-joa.social/
    Netherlands https://social.overheid.nl/
    Germany https://social.bund.de/
    France https://social.numerique.gouv.fr/
    EU Commission https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/

    Switzerland had a pilot project, but I don't know what happened to it

    I'm pretty sure there are more local governments with their own instances or plans to do it , specially after all the digital sovereignty discourse got some boost to it

    There are several non-profit had their own instance, like ACM. I recall Mozilla used to do, but I am not sure if they still does.

    How expensive is it to have your own instance?

    I could have sworn I watched a video by FediHost about that, but I either can't find it or it never existed in the first place. I have seen some places move to Mastodon, so I edited my initial comment to be more accurate to my current info. Sorry!
