I mean nothing prevents you from using a self signed certificate
Is imagine the rest of the fediverse will refuse to connect tho.
But wouldn't that be the certificate of the other instance, not your local one?
As others mentioned other things need to connect to your instance so valid ssl matters
Since AP servers both accept incoming connections and make outgoing connections, both sides need valid certificates to do HTTPS.
Alright, wasn't aware it needed to be both sides
Good luck getting the server connecting to you to trust it!
