#EriqHi! I found Known through the Indieweb website, and want to try it out. It said on the known site that a free account could be a good start. When I try to register is says "Known for Education". Does this mean I have to be affiliated to a University or similar to be able to try it out?
#jeremycherfasI’m not sure, but I think that the hosted free version of Known is no longer available. You have to host it yourself. It is quite easy to do. I have my instance hosted on Dreamhost, and it wasn’t difficult.

#[chrisaldrich]Eriq, I think that jeremycherfas is right and that the free hosted version is no longer offered.
#[chrisaldrich]If you don't want to self-host, I do believe that Known does still offer a paid hosted version though if you fill out their form.
#[chrisaldrich]I also think that places like Reclaim hosting offer one-click installs if you don't want to get your hands dirty too.
#aaronpksounds like there might be some indieweb.org wiki pages to update

#Zegnat[chrisaldrich] last I checked Known has 2 easy guides for setting it up for selfhosting https://withknown.com/guides/ (one on Arvixe, one on Reclaim) but they only host for “groups” and education. For non-education you have to contact them separately through https://withknown.com/contact/ (no standard form)

#[chrisaldrich]I've fired off an email to Erin Jo et al. to see how they'd like to best handle these cases and to see how we can direct individuals.
#EriqThanks for the reply, @jeremycherfas! I will look into that option. I currently have my site at a swedish host, perhaps it's possible to have Known there as well.
#[chrisaldrich]jeremycherfas did DreamHost have a one-click set up option? Or did you do it all manually?
