Comment on is there a way to refederate instances just for me?
Wander@yiffit.net 6 months agoYes, but It’s pretty hands off since 99% of security stuff is managed for you by the Lemmy software, including rate limiting. Just make sure you use a secure password and if you want put the instance behind cloudflare which is super easy to do.

Is it as easy as “create instance” or does it involve setting up a server and other cloud based software?

it is not that easy.. you need to understand the basics of the underlying systems, and then be able to keep them up to date and running.

That’s not too far off the mark, It cost me about $20 AU so probably $15 US. I could get cheaper if I wanted to host further from home (I’m happy with a AU host for my New Zealand instance)
