When I’m browsing “All” I’ll get half way down the page and it’ll start federating/updating from another instance. Is there a way to set this to only happen on refresh? It a bit of a pain when your feed is regularly quickly expanding from the top. It makes scrolling a pita.

Keep taking a look at myanonymouse. They open up registrations regularly. This place will have what you’re looking for along with a great community.

Could you give us some insight into how much bandwidth up/down your instance is using? Thanks for posting your server specs. I’m tempted to self host an instance when I finally get a gigabit connection in the next few months.
