Y’all should try it! I loved seeing it popping on other instances’ /instances page, and seeing it polling other communities. Also changing the background in my theme was lit.
Lemmy’s hosting documentation is a bit rough around the edges, especially the ARM situation (and its contemporary solution), so I had some extra tinkering to do. No shade at all yeah? I appreciate every bit of their work and I jotted down some points that I need to consolidate into a documentation PR soon.
Anyway, I feel like the extra @... on our usernames should be worn as a badge of honor you feel me? ;)
The more I see this community the more I think about starting a mastodon/Lemmy instance of my own. I used to have a home rack setup, but a 1U in an apartment isn’t ideal. I’ve cut down to just a old desktop with a pair of redundant 8TB drives now and might have to spin up a cheap vps somewhere.
You can go a looong way hosting stuff on ultra-small form factor business PCs
