Masto.host offers great services and @hugo is really responsive for helping.""Juuuust in case you haven't heard, @hugo is kind of a bad ass. I submit trouble report (without a ticket, because i'm a filthy casual) and he triaged/addressed in 4 minutes flat. now *that* is some response time I can get behind, because its better than any SLA I've ever actually experienced.""And thanks to the wonderful @mastohost, I am up and running again with my own instance and Mastodon has never felt so slick :)"## HelpIn the Help Guides, you can find information regarding Masto.host announcements, frequently asked questions, Mastodon usage and administration.
