Me, who uses a locally crafted free roam instance:
I expect this to evolve like email did. It used to be very easy to host your own mail server but due to spam the large providers started using whitelists and nowadays it's almost impossible to have a self hosted mail server that is approved by the others.
Similarly, I expect that hosting your own Lemmy instance will be impossible in the future. We should enjoy it while we can.
Is their a way to lock it down so only you can use it? I was thinking about hosting my own. But i was worried that others might start visiting it.
Is there a solid how to / walk through for setting one of those up? Lemmy world is flailing hard and I want to jump to my own instance.
How does that work?
Is this from the alternate ending of titanic?
Looks like. God, it's awful.
"That really sucks, lady!"
The soluition here is to use any other instance then the 3 big ones: lemmy.ml, lemmy.world and bewhaw.org Lemmy instances scale horribly, the more users the worse the performance.
See this piechart from a week ago, the top 3 have over 50% of the users:
sad.
