I’m hosting and using my own instance personally, but the important part is that it’s decentralized and federated. Think of it like email - businesses often have their own email servers they use to communicate with yours, unlike on Facebook or Reddit where all of it happens on their servers.

Exactly, there’s a difference between self-hosted networks like meshes and mostly privately hosted. It’s like calling all email self-hosted, even though less than 1% of users self-host.

As far as I know, they never claimed Lemmy was entirely self-hosted. Their intention was likely to say it can be, in which case decentralized would’ve been more clear…

The original commenter said that “Lemmy is self-hosted”. This is what this comment thread was about. It sure is decentralized, not really self-hosted, even though you can host it youself.

Edit: read another comment wrong
