Comment on Is it possible to host a lemmy instance over I2P?

  Why is this always the go-to answer. I kind of wish we’d stop asking it must sync to the clearnet.

  Honestly if Lemmy (and other services) were built from the ground up for anonymous overlay networks rather than clearnet in the first place it would be a better place overall.

    There is absolutely nothing wrong with tor/i2p having their own fediverse. Just it becomes as fresh as dreaddit (pretty sure I spelt that wrong).

    Yea Lemmy is a little too full featured and network heavy to be really usable on a slow network like i2p

      Are you thinking of Tor? i2p can be very quick once your node becomes aware of others.

  I think in theory you could do it if you had a separate relay, you might only need one for the entire I2P Lemmy community. The relay would always be exposed to some degree but it’s just a relay so it’s not going to attract too much attention, especially if the operators were smart and didn’t sync spicy communities to the clear net

    I don’t think ActivityPub is set up for one server storing and forwarding a whole feed of everything, like Usenet. Right?
