Y’all should try it! I loved seeing it popping on other instances’ /instances page, and seeing it polling other communities. Also changing the background in my theme was lit.
Lemmy’s hosting documentation is a bit rough around the edges, especially the ARM situation (and its contemporary solution), so I had some extra tinkering to do. No shade at all yeah? I appreciate every bit of their work and I jotted down some points that I need to consolidate into a documentation PR soon.
Anyway, I feel like the extra @... on our usernames should be worn as a badge of honor you feel me? ;)
The hard part is the network. Everything is different with different ISP.
The DNS is another challenge, you need to buy your ‘internet real estate’ and have it work correctly if your IP change.
Security is another challenge but I think it’s easier to notice unusual traffic from your basement server than from a mega-tech-bro-corporation. There’s probably some easy software that could do that.
@mfat https://yunohost.org/ is an attempt to fill that gap, but it’s missing a key feature. Anything that wants to be broadly adopted will have to be appified these days. @maor

I wish someday self-hosting anything (not just Lemmy) becomes as easy as installing an app. Self-hosting doesn’t need to be a nerd thing.

Unraid with some Community Apps and Docker turned on is pretty turn-key with a ton of room for superusers.
