Self hosting my own Lemmy instance was so much fun (lemmy.org.il)

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? ;)

I definitely need to get my own instance set up. Ideally, I'd like to run it on a pi of some sort, but may choose a container on proxmox instead. Any advice for these options?

I've attempted on a proxmox LXC container, without much luck. may be a simple change needed, but I've had better luck with a VM. It typically uses around 1% CPU most of the time & around avg. 1.5GB ram usage. this is without any tweaks at all however. this is a single user instance.
