Hi all!
This is my first post from my self-hosted Lemmy instance!
Thanks all you guys who gave me suggestions and help!
Hope you can see it, BTW :)
Nice domain there mate.
Just something doing down right on the street, I was surprised nobody took it before me.
Heyo! I just set up a full suite of fediverse nonsense over at MakrArmy.io! Congrats!
Hear you loud and clear!
Hey! This is my first post from my self-hosted Mbin instance! :-)
Is mbin still alive and well? Cool!
Yes Mbin is still alive and for now work as expected. I installed the instance a week ago.
Nice!!
Thanks!!!

Nice work, although for single user instances I would suggest using PieFed.
Care to elaborate? Interesting
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)
Neat!
Any chance you could share some resources on how you did it? I’d kinda like to give it a try…
I will finish writing that on my wiki today at https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services%3Alemmy
edit: page done!
I think I love you.
If that would be so simple… Are you a billionaire? In that case, it would make things MUCH easier… :) Otherwise my wife might want a word…
Welcome, don’t forget to claim and tag yourself on fediseer. Make sure you provide the target instance to guarantee for you when soliciting a guarantee. They will get a PM ;)
will do immediately! Thanks!
and it’s working fantastically, congratulations! I’ve been considering self-hosting for a while now but I’m afraid of the responsibility :P
For a very small instance, like one or two users, sohuldnt be a burden ask me Ina few months…
My instance of one now federates with your instance of one.
So it’s true after all that 1+1=11
Yes and
I can see you from Blahaj :3
Glad that works mate! I like you guys and the topics brought along by your instance.
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.
Receiving signal up in low earth orbit! Congrats!
Thanks man! See you up there!
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!
Thanks! Amazing… Cool cool
Congrats! Works fine from sdf.org as well
Cool bro! Cool… Love federation.
