I want to self host my own lemmy instance for personal use. I have seen there Github page and it is really easy to set up but I have some questions?

  1. How will I be able to federate with other instances?
  2. Will I be able to interact with communities from other instances?
  3. What type of hardware will be required to self host?
  4. And finally is it worth to run our own instance?

  • There is option in the admin panel with whom to federate and whom to block.
  • Yes, just like I do now.
  • Depends on the size, it can very well run on 1CPU 1Mem
  • Single instance of the above size does not go over 5$, so for me it's worth.
