Hi beehaw admins! Thanks for this platform you’ve given us all. I’m wondering what your stance is on promotion of other Lemmy instances here?
In the interest of decentralisation and keeping the community robust, I’m considering standing up my own instance of Lemmy. I’m fortunate enough to have plenty of equipment at my disposal to run it and the know-how to make it resilient and scalable (not quite big social network tier, but I don’t want it to be that anyway).
I just wanted to ask here first before I go shamelessly self-plugging around the place.
Feel free to ask questions if you’re curious or your answer is “it depends”. Thanks!
Just a curious passerby, but how hard is it to set up an instance? Is it "switching to Linux mint" easy, more "arch goes brrrr" difficult, or "keep away before you break everything" difficult?
I think the Docker/Ansible is pretty easy but the DIY option is not. There were a couple of people who were trying to document the DIY process but the last I heard was that they were both stuck.
