If it’s ever something you want to try, it’s one of the easier servers to self host and there’s a lot of helpful resources out there. There really isn’t any coding involved outside of editing a few configuration files unless you want there to be.

This is one reason that I think many people should consider running their own single-user instance or tiny instances for close friends/family.

One of the problems with centralization is literally the fact that this can happen. The more small servers the fedi is comprised of, the stronger it is. There are also a huge number of benefits to this configuration on an individual level as well.

EDIT: Re: importing/exporting your old account is, unfortunately, a thing that cannot be done currently. I’m happy to be corrected on that, though.

Unrelated but I’m very impressed with how well this posted to Lemmy from Mastodon. Exceptional

On lemmy, you could literally just start the same community on another server. If other people agree with you about space, the new community will become the “default” one. don’t really think anybody even has the ability to become “too powerful” because they are neutered the instant the base url changes.

Vim wouldn’t even have occurred to me if you hadn’t said it. I use Vim more than I talk to my family.

“It is what it is”

No shit, fucknugget. My problem was probably that what it is sucks ass. This isn’t even a sentence. Stop saying it to people. Silence is more useful.

I’m sure there’s more, these are just the ones that were on the top of my head

I’m going to be honest, that sounds like we’d just be inventing something for people to get mad about. The entire ethos of decentralization is for that sort of arrangement to not be a thing. Either the charter would have nobody to enforce it OR you’d have to centralize authority.

What you’re describing works for various instances to form a sort of collective with shared ideals but projecting that onto the entire network is antithetical to the entire idea here.

Also, and this is nitpicky, I admit-- You’re not in the Lemmyverse. You’re in the Fediverse, a space in which lemmy is a very new and small part.

Haven’t even opened reddit from google results since the protest started. I’ve also been removing subreddits from my RSS reader

“Youtube considering incentivizing piracy”

This is my thought. The OP leads me to believe that being “normal” is considered bad

No question, I just want to thank you for being the type of person that would do this and thank you again for actually doing it. The world is a fun place. I like it.

I’ve been pretty surprised at how light it runs. I’m running a single-user instance and have a pretty decent amount of subscriptions to various different instances. I have it running on a thinkserver with a xeon at the moment but, even with like 10 other services (mostly chat protocols–zulip, synapse, thelounge, among other random things) running, my load average never breaks 1. If you don’t plan on having tons of users, you could probably get away with some pretty impressively modest hardware.

Came here exactly for this reason. Federated stumbleupon? Yes please.

The only thing that will happen is that you will not be able to view content on the Threads servers through your own server. You’ll still be able to see everything that isn’t hosted on Threads servers
