I think my server lemmy.world would qualify :-)

My instance allows rss feeds mastodon.world

Well running them all is easy, I mainly use Docker for running them, which makes it easy. I just hope all platforms will be developed to maturity, and they will all follow the activitypub standards so they can communicate with each other. Now, some platforms implement features a bit differently from eachother.

I didn't make mastodon.world grow so much, it just happened to me. Mainly thanks to mr. Musk. Details on that are here: https://blog.mastodon.world/and-then-november-happened

No, I have nu clue about that yet. I'll monitor how Lemmy behaves and try to scale. Maybe after a while I can say something about it.

Currently a 2 cpu 4GB VPS at Hetzner, costing 5 EUR per month. With a storage volume of also 5 per month. I am monitoring this and will scale when needed. For mastodon.world we scaled it to a dedicated server with 32 cores and 256GB so we can go a long way.

OK, I'd say: create it! :-)

For now this is peanuts. If it might grow a lot, I can use some of the mastodon.world donations or setup a new Patreon.

What name did you try to create? Did you also add images?

Hmm I think those issues should be gone, do you see them if you give it a few minutes? Maybe it needs time to fetch everything?

You're welcome.. I've been using computers for around 40 years now, and love trying out new software. That evolved in trying out self-hosted software.. even into self-hosting nearly everything. I'm reverting some of that at the moment, don't want to self-host family stuff anymore because of continuity, but the rest I keep installing and trying everyting.. :-)

No, can you search for !unixporn@lemmy.ml ?

Nice, thanks! (I use their wallpaper app on my Mac)

At the moment, I run lemmy.world using the funding of mastodon.world. If Lemmy.world might grow and need a dedicated server, I'll try to raise funds for it separately (or create a larger .world fundraiser as I have other instances as well)

Lemmy.world is a new server, accepting signups. You're welcome there.

When creating a community, it would be nice if you also upload an icon and banner. Please make sure you don't use copyrighted images but instead create your own or look for rights-free material.

Thank you for the research. I will take this up with the Lemmy devs.

You can create communities yourself if you like!

Yes, I fixed an issue, now subscribing seems to work.

I don't know how communities are added. Is it automatically discovered or only when searched or viewed by users? The search should be much better now I fixed an nginx issue. When I search for Mastodon I get loads of results, including the community at lemmy.ml. But searching by community name !mastodon@lemmy.ml doesn't work. Sometimes it works when you click search a few times, sometimes not at all.

I'll discuss that with the Lemmy admin Matrix channel later, now it's time for bed..

I mainly use HA for monitoring, have only 1 automation which turns on a heating-wire when outside temp drops below 3C.
