Hello, World!

Congratulation 🌞

Greetings from another personal instance 🐱

Nice work dad. How difficult was it? I’ve been thinking about going down that road but concerned about the overhead.

The secret ingredient was crime

Welcome to the club! I used the same easy deploy setup as you! Makes life really easy eh :)

Furthermore, to populate All, I have this one running: https://github.com/lflare/lemmy-subscriber-bot

If you do this, you will need some extra space because the database will grow, but I think it solves one of the (largest) downsides of running your own instance, namely discovering other communities.

Good on you for standing up your own instance. It's certainly nothing to shake a stick at and you're coming in at the right time when Lemmy just got a big performance boost in v0.18.3 as well as an 80% reduction size in the PostgreSQL database. Good things are happening.

Nice! Just me on my instance too. The only downside I've found so far is that I have to discover new communities in my own since there is no one else to populate "All".

Small price to pay to have control over my instance though.

I appreciate all of the weird instance names in here

It's pretty awesome, ain't it?

Been on my own instance all month and it’s been smooth sailing for me!

Welcome aboard, and hello from across the Fediverse!

Welcome!

How hard was it to set up? I've been considering making my own personal instance for a while now but haven't fully properly looked into it

Hello from another self hosted instance comrade!

hi, please ignore this comment i am testing my lemmy instance.

Hello from another self-hosted instance! Having absolute control on what you see is very nice.

Hello from another personal instance :)

I still need to look into self-hosting Lemmy some time, but alas, it takes time lol

I'm even more tempted now that lemmy.one, my main instance I was using, appears to be down with a database issue according to its API. Which of course means if they don't have working backups, it may actually just be gone forever, along with my post history there.

hello there! I just got my instance up and running as well. Thanks to the help in the matrix channels for lemmy.

There are dozens of us!

♥️

printf "%s\n" "Hello, CrimeDad!"

ayyyyy!

Even better from the right one!

Welcome! Another fellow self-hoster checking in ✅

Hello self hosted person.

And everyone said the real estate market was untenable! Who knew you just had to get virtual real estate!?

Welcome to the club.

Hello from my personal instance, and welcome!

Nice work!

Greetings from my instance 😄

Nice work and welcome to the club!

Also joined the club today :)

This sounds like a fun project to be honest. Are there any risks involved by getting bad content through federation that’s out of your control?

Just a week or so ago I read an article about a guy running a tor exit node personally and being held responsible for the traffic

Congrats!

Also posting from my own instance! Lemmy verse let’s gooooo

You did it! Hello, and welcome to the club. Lemmy has been my first foray into hosting a site on a VPS and it's been quite the rabbit-hole; for the better of course. I hope you have fun.

Hello from my self hosted kbin!

Awesome stuff, man.

Great work!
