Just started self hosting this instance. Nothing on the docs mentioned anything about storage considerations.

How has your Lemmy experience been on a self hosted instance? I’m currently using lemmy.world and it’s very error prone, would self hosting reduce those errors at the expense of anything? Does federation take long or do you find you’re getting federated content quickly enough?

The experience has been pretty good, to be honest. No instability, easy updates, etc. I find federated content quite quickly, because I use this script to populate the “All” feed.

I didn’t make it! :) I think, @fmstrat@nowsci.com made it.

You won’t get any old content, so that’s a downside. You’ll only get content after you start federating. Unless someone votes or comments on old content.

Other than that the only downside is spending time maintaining and updating it.
