  I don’t want to accidentally cache some no-no content that gets me turbofucked by the law, sure I could probably defend if it ever came up but that’s a stress i dont even want the possibility of having in my life

  I sort of get it. When you self host mastodon or lemmy, you have to deal with the moderation that comes with it. That’s a headache unless you have a ton of free time. Judging by the age distribution, I’m guessing most of us just want things to work so we can do what we enjoy.

    @CosmicTurtle0 hosting a single user federated blog is also an option, you are only responsible for yourself and your friends you host. Not necessary to host public.

      federated blog

      I wonder what federated blog (or publishing platform) isn’t stuck in pre-Docker era, though.

    Not just moderation, but you are responsible for all content on your server, some of which may be illegal and hosting it is a IRL crime, but the sheer size of it is impossible to filter.

      Happy Cake Day (Are we doing this here on Lemmy?)

    You can run those as single-user instances or with approval of users so you can use those instances for your family and/or friends only.

  Lemmy uses activity pub right? 200 in a survey hosting similar stuff is not that bad IMO.

• Allero@lemmy.today ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  It’s alright! We don’t all have to host our own instance. Existing ones can easily accommodate hundreds of users.

  What the hell is an ActivityPub platform?

  source

  • SomethingBurger@jlai.lu ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    ActivityPub is the protocol powering the Fediverse. Platforms include Lemmy, Mastodon and Pixelfed.

  Why? I’m not particularly interested in ActivityPub, I just use Lemmy because it’s the closest thing to Reddit w/o being Reddit. Once a better alternative shows up, I’m out.

  What are some interesting things to host?

  source

  • Dirk@lemmy.ml ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    The usual suspects: Mastodon (or mastodon-compatible servers like GoToSocial), PeerTube, Pixelfed, etc.

    • Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I just don’t see the use of self hosting these just for myself. I guess that’s why so little people do this?
