Ask HN: Creating a Mastodon Instance for My University Society

Good Day,

I recently started a society in my university dedicated to cyber security and hopefully grow into a hacker space.

I want to kick off the fall term by hosting a decentralized social network like mastodon. I am currently learning Vue and looking for an internship this summer.

Any advice on how to approach it, what should i learn and should i even focus on this. I personally dislike twitter and i think the more decentralized social networks such as mastodon should be encouraged at colleges and universities.
