Yes accounts are distributed to each server. Same as communities.

I agree except someone has to host the content and they should get to decide what’s not allowed.

You’ll need to be able to ssh into the server.

Hosting a single user instance, I’m seeing a few GB of network traffic over the past few days and maybe 10Gb at most needed for the disk.

Ah, great thanks. That sounds much smaller in file size than mirroring all embedded content.

Thanks, I didn’t know that.

Turns out docker is configured to reference everything though relative paths. I just needed to move the directory and everything kept working.

Ah got it. Yes, Im using docker compose but setup through ansible. Sounds like I just need to update the bind mount then. Thanks

A lemmy instance will only show communities that someone’s has previously searched using the full url. You can find a list of all available instances here: http://browse.feddit.de/

One of the downsides seems like since the developer packages everything together, I’m reliant on them to push out changes. For example if some dependency needs a critical security update then I’m relying on every flatpak author to apply that change and push out a new version. But if I’m installing packages directly, I can update that one package and be done with it across my system.

Thanks for this insightful post. I agree that the fediverse feels different and that’s ok. It’s exciting to get the chance to build something new and be a part of it starting.

I think that’s right. A request for deletion gets made and it’s up to each server to decide if they will honor it.
