I hope this post is not too off topic. I thought that it would be nice to see the address of all the small self-hosted instances of Lemmy (1~5 users).

I stood up an instance on linode for myself and a couple friends.

We’re lolimbeer.com !

Which is based on an old meme that I still find hilarious.

But, then I got a registration application that was excited about “lolis & beer”.

I still like the domain and I’ve had it sitting around for a minute, but i never really thought about it or read it that way before.

Sorry to hear that. But the whole thing is hilarious

Lol, I thought so too.

Made me think of the arrested development license plate, A new start, ANUSTART .

fl0w.cc- single user; the domain is meant to be part of my username :)

Orcas Enjoying Yachts admin checking in!

It says I have 6 users but 2 of those accounts are test users I created when I was getting everything setup. My friend and I are on there and that’s really it.

Edit: somehow I have 20 users now which is kind of neat. Just not sure how many are valid since I had open registrations for a while (it’s still open to users but with verification and captcha enabled).

https://outpost.zeuslink.net

I started a habit a while back ago of naming any servers I run based off of names from Greek mythology - my primary server is Zeus but most forms of just “Zeus” in domain form are already taken. Similarly, I call the quasi-internal network that this server runs (since it’s a hypervisor) “ZeusNet”…

Problem with that name is “ZeusNet.net” is redundant and would irk me, I wanted something that still ends with the .net TLD (though my personal domain ends with .network).

This, zeuslink.net is what I came up with given that “link” can mean “network” and the combination isn’t as redundant as “…net.net”!

Funnily enough, originally my instance was originally under the colony subdomain which I quite liked… But unfortunately I didn’t set things up properly due to how I have everything else setup, and I had already dipped just enough in the federation that when I reset everything so that it actually worked properly, the keys that my server identified with no longer matched which broke my ability to federate properly. Which then forced me to reset everything again under a completely different subdomain (I’m glad it was on a subdomain instead of the root domain for that reason) since Lemmy doesn’t have a “self destruct” option like Mastodon has (which tells all connected instances “Hey, I’m going down - forget you knew me” as far as I understand it).

And that is the origin story of my domain, along with the subdomain. Thinking about it now, I should copy all of this as a standalone post on my instance 😅

Mine, though it says 202 users, is only actually 2, me and a test account, cause it got botted due to me leaving open registration. Luckily found out about 10 seconds after it started, but still, annoying. Though yea, just myself on here for now. :D

you might wanna clean up your database there. at least purge anyone from the local_user table who doesn’t belong there so that they can’t log in. if you also remove all the relevant entries from person it will fix the displayed user count as well.

Hey, it’s been a while, but just wanted to say that following this fixed my instance, and numbers are now normal again. Thanks! 💛

I created dis.ney.ink to try to be the Lemmy version of the Disney subreddits (such as r/dvcmember and r/waltdisneyworld) … so far there’s 3 users and ~9 subscribers

https://ramram.ink but I only use subdomains, I’ve not hooked anything to the domain itself.
