Hi all!

This is my first post from my self-hosted Lemmy instance!

Thanks all you guys who gave me suggestions and help!

      Just something doing down right on the street, I was surprised nobody took it before me.

    Nice work, although for single user instances I would suggest using PieFed.

        I also started with Lemmy on a small VPS where I run a lot of other services for me and my family. Every update of Lemmy somehow needed more and more resources to run, so many in fact that it would overload my small VPS. I think it is because Lemmy is designed to be run for å huge amount of users, so it has quite a overhead at first just to be able to handle very many users later.

        And because I didn’t want to upgrade my server and make it more expensive, I decided to try PieFed which has from the start been concentrating on having a small footprint on the server.

        And that played off emensly, not only was I able to keep running on a small VPS for cheap, but I also found an amazingly open developer community around PieFed on Matrix.

          Thank you, might take a look into it as well, but for the time being Lemmy seems to be working fine on my home server (not an underpowered VPS indeed, but not an enterprise-grade server either)

    I can see you! Near the top of my lemmy.world feed (I believe, I’m pretty new to all this as well)

    Congratulations on getting your instance up!

    You’re coming in loud and clear here in the great white North!

    How was the process of setting up self hosting?

      Actually much easier than I thought.

      Went the docker way and only did a few errors… Took two tries to get everything in order. I am documenting the process here https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services%3Alemmy but the page is far from complete…

      edit: i just finished updating the page, it should contain more or less all the issues and solutions i encountered.

    My instance of one now federates with your instance of one.

    Your instance is installed in a container on your Ubuntu touch phone, right? 🫣
