    Its not that difficult you need a VPS or a public reachable ip at home and docker/podman.

  Would love to know how to do that. Like to not be censored.

    Yes I use docker, I have documented my effort here wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services%3Alemmy

    It was pretty easy and require zero maintenance, just remember to update the containers. Space utiliztion and resources are pretty low, depending on how many communities you subscribe.

    Also, I host it at home (with public reachable ip of course)

      Thanks for sharing.

      Have you had any issues with other, larger instances not federating with you? (just because your small, they don’t want to risk being spammed by trolls/bots/etc)

      This would be my only concern in hosting my own instance.

        Never had such an issue

      How does federation work? Do you need to specifically federate with everyone or just those you don’t want to federate with

        Its automatic. You can defederate, bit federation is utomatic.

  But so you can decide for others what you want to censor for them. Because I can name a few things that you would probably want ASAP removed from your instance, if someone posted such things.

  Everyone would do the same if they personally were exposed to legal liability.

    I highly suspect that they’re the sole user on their instance. That’s fairly common for people who just want to avoid the headache of dealing with rogue admins. Just spin up an instance, and then your server only federates with the instances and communities that you directly interact with. No need to worry about the “things you would want removed ASAP” unless you’re the one seeking out those things.

    I am my only user, so…

  So you run your own instance and federate with other instances as you please? How are you hosting it / is it doable via docker?

  • alonsohmtz@feddit.uk ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Yes, you can use docker: join-lemmy.org/docs/…/install_docker.html

    I recommend using a VPS for wireguard and a cheap used workstation like a Dell Optiplex for the actual hosting. That way you can forward all ports without your ISP knowing.

      Rad, tyvm. I’ve got a proxmox server at home running wireguard so I’ll give it a hoon on that. Thanks again.

      Thanks will look into this.
