Hi all!
This is my first post from my self-hosted Lemmy instance!
Thanks all you guys who gave me suggestions and help!
Hope you can see it, BTW :)

@Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu I can from a self-hosted sharkey instance, congrats!
That’s great!
I am really happy!
Take care friend.
I can see you! Near the top of my lemmy.world feed (I believe, I’m pretty new to all this as well)
Congratulations on getting your instance up!
Thanks! Amazing… Cool cool
you’re coming in loud and clear from the lemm.ee instance.
Beautiful!
Really happy
Who dis?
New instance.
But old skin
do you remember the first sunrise?
Darmok on the ocean, Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra, Darmok and Jalad on the ocean
Yeah that was on a Thursday afternoon, just after my knee went skying, actually a bit moldy overall, but I finally purchased my new mower.
At last, or maybe it was a sunset.
Nice!!
Thanks!!!
You’re coming in loud and clear here in the great white North!
How was the process of setting up self hosting?
Actually much easier than I thought.
Went the docker way and only did a few errors… Took two tries to get everything in order. I am documenting the process here wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services%3Alemmy but the page is far from complete…
edit: i just finished updating the page, it should contain more or less all the issues and solutions i encountered.
Receiving signal up in low earth orbit! Congrats!
Thanks man! See you up there!
Hey!
This is my first post from my self-hosted Mbin instance! :-)
Is mbin still alive and well? Cool!
Yes Mbin is still alive and for now work as expected. I installed the instance a week ago.
Your instance is installed in a container on your Ubuntu touch phone, right? 🫣
Yeah, actually I run bare-metal on a Nokia 3310… LOL
Nice domain there mate.
Just something doing down right on the street, I was surprised nobody took it before me.
Congrats! Coming in loud and clear on lemmy.ml
Cool! great!
Visible on lemmy.zip
Well done :)
Cool! I got zipped as well!
Works from db0, congrats
I couldn’t live without your 'Arrs related community!
Congrats! Works fine from sdf.org as well
Cool bro! Cool… Love federation.
and it’s working fantastically, congratulations! I’ve been considering self-hosting for a while now but I’m afraid of the responsibility :P
For a very small instance, like one or two users, sohuldnt be a burden ask me Ina few months…
congratulations!! greetings from shitjustworks
I simply.love your instance name… I couldn’t come with such a good one.
Neat!
Any chance you could share some resources on how you did it? I’d kinda like to give it a try…
I will finish writing that on my wiki today at wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services%3Alemmy
edit: page done!
I think I love you.
If that would be so simple… Are you a billionaire? In that case, it would make things MUCH easier… :) Otherwise my wife might want a word…
My instance of one now federates with your instance of one.
So it’s true after all that 1+1=11
Yes and
Nice work, although for single user instances I would suggest using PieFed.
Care to elaborate? Interesting
I also started with Lemmy on a small VPS where I run a lot of other services for me and my family. Every update of Lemmy somehow needed more and more resources to run, so many in fact that it would overload my small VPS. I think it is because Lemmy is designed to be run for å huge amount of users, so it has quite a overhead at first just to be able to handle very many users later.
And because I didn't want to upgrade my server and make it more expensive, I decided to try PieFed which has from the start been concentrating on having a small footprint on the server.
And that played off emensly, not only was I able to keep running on a small VPS for cheap, but I also found an amazingly open developer community around PieFed on Matrix.
Thank you, might take a look into it as well, but for the time being Lemmy seems to be working fine on my home server (not an underpowered VPS indeed, but not an enterprise-grade server either)

I can see you from Blahaj :3
Glad that works mate! I like you guys and the topics brought along by your instance.
Lemmy.cafe checking in
Cool! I am just having a coffee myself!
Welcome, don’t forget to claim and tag yourself on fediseer. Make sure you provide the target instance to guarantee for you when soliciting a guarantee. They will get a PM ;)
will do immediately! Thanks!
Lemmynsfw here, we see you. Do you, errr, see us?
I do! I like your instance very much (i like all instances actually… but some how yours has that little extra spicy, ykwim)
Shit just works as usual
Can confirm. I’d host my own, but I’m lazy and The Dude hasn’t given me a reason to.
Curios about how much space is required for hosting a personal Lemmy instance? Is this something you know, if it’s not too much I would be interested in hosting myself!
I think my instance has been growing at about 30 GB a year. I think if you set it up to not rehost the pictures, you can keep the whole thing in the handful of GB range.
Oh thats a lot less than i had imagined actually and very neat that u can turn of re-hosting pictures! Putting this on my to-do list!
After a few days my one use instance is globbing up 190mb of disk space. I am subscribed to quite a few communities too.
Spotted from feddit.ua!
Hi amico Ukrainian lemmer! Glad to see you here.
Confirmed, can see it from lemmy.today!
Congrats!
I hope it will be seen also from Lemmy.tomorrow! (Pun intended)
Heyo! I just set up a full suite of fediverse nonsense over at MakrArmy.io! Congrats!
Hear you loud and clear!
