I've been thinking about the same thing, and I feel more and more that hosting your own server seems to be the best way to ensure that you get the content that you want without question
I’m curious to see how this all plays out. I’m running my own instance and it will be interesting to see if small instances get excluded on any large ones due to spam or abuse. Not that I plan on letting that happen with mine but I could see it has an anti abuse measure in the future.
How hard was it to set up an instance? I'm fairly decent with these things, and could spool up an shared server, but have never used Docker if that's the best way.
I run my own Mastodon instance, but I haven’t been able to configure a lemmy instance. The readme is not currently as user-friendly as the one for Mastodon. I will try again sometime later if it’s improved.
