You too, friend.
Can you not create communities on other instances? I hadn't tried or thought about it. I guess that's a downside of a really small or self hosted instance
Yep. But a community's mods need not be on the home instance, so you can moderate from anywhere.
You could, for example, create an account just for creating communites on a particular instance, but then give your other account a moderation role and moderate all from a central account.
Would you have an idea of what kind of traffic/storage I would be looking at, if I were to host a community that gets 500 posts a day? I know this is a very vague question, so a ballpark answer would suffice. Asking because I'd like to host niche locality based communities for my country (India) and hosting is not cheap here. I could perhaps do Hetzner auctions but the latency would not be pleasant.
My instance is just me rn but I’m federating with about 500 communities, including all of the most active ones and Lemmy is running really well. My system is only using about 10% cpu and about a 1gb of ram, I’m just using a Hetzner arm vps with 4 vcpus and 8 gb of ram. Even a single small server should be able to handle a lot of users imo.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
Indeed! I’m having the same excited feeling that I had when I joined Twitter in its early days, and haven’t had with any other social network since then.
