Hehe thanks! Not 100% decided yet but since it’s running on my homeserver and not some VPS I guess I won’t open except for friends maybe.

If you find one, keep up updated! It’s one of the things where you really need a critical mass already for it to be useful so it’s hard to kick off.

I’ve been using Mastodon for eight years and got involved with hosting a small instance for some years now. Also running a Bookwyrm instance and, since a few days, this Lemmy instance which will remain single user most likely.

I have several more Mastodon accounts I’m switching between and inactive Pixelfed, GoToSocial and Friendica accounts.

Do you think so? I thought it’s comparedly straightforward

You can set up Bookstack and then use it to document everything you’re going to set up later!

Hardware hosts usually get a mix of hardware description and main use, e.g. en old Esprimo with Proxmox is esprimox. Virtual hosts are garden themed - auth server is mycel, monitoring will be called canopy once I move it, VM with lots of docker stuff is garden etc.

That’s cool indeed! If it doesn’t get in the way with too many links in a post

It’s not instance agnostic because the thread lives on the instance of the author. But links in this format: https://lemm.ee/post/57428587 can be put in the search field on any instance and will return the proper post.

Sure! It’s a Lenovo m910q tiny. Mine has an i7-6700 and 32GB RAM but Lemmy runs in a VM with 4 cores and 8 GB RAM which should be plenty, it’s not even using half that RAM. Disk Space seems to be the limiting factor after a while since it keeps copies of all remote threads and comments but that can be cleaned up too.

Found some threads online on resource usage beforehand like this: https://lemmy.ml/post/440678

Hell yeah, you just sent the first notification to my instance :)

Just set up Lemmy! I wonder if this gets through
