Comment on Cancel Lemmy - A piefed community to discuss Alternatives to and moving away from Lemmy

How close are you to self-hosting? I’m pretty curious what the overhead is like, since Python is intrinsically going to need more.

Not very. Still working on getting a VPN set up and learning the ropes of self-hosting in general. Most of the research I've been doing has mentioned that Piefed seems to take less resources than Lemmy for some reason. We'll see how it goes once I actually figure all this out. I just learned that my choice of home internet might make it difficult since I apparently can't get a static IP. (T mobile 5G)

Interesting! Having looked at the Lemmy code, I do have my suspicions about the way it (currently) manages database access.
Yeah, getting a static IP has been a pain for decades. Best of luck!
