Also blame the reddit mods for it.
I registered/setup https://selfhosted.forum and I wanted to give it to any of the current mods. They passed because their idea of âwe have a lemmy community alreadyâ is pointing to lemmy.ml
This meme template NEVER gets old, lmao⌠Anakinâs face always gets me
Well, did you self host this meme?
Ok, back to meme school for you

Yeah, the format is that she repeats the second panel on the fourth panel, with more question marks and concern. This version is almost like explaining the joke here.
In terms of an optimal load spread, itâs best if the lemmiverse is split into multiple equally sized instances. If you use an instance just for yourself, it doesnât actually decrease the load on the main servers in any way. The only thing you get is a guarantee that your instance wonât suddenly go down.
You also should be concerned about other peopleâs data on your instance tho
My instance will be for me only, I will be the only person on it and it will be closed for registrations. I wonât be responsible for anyone elseâs data on my instance, nothing for me to be concerned about.
What kind of âcontrolâ do you mean? Your posts/comments get replicated across all the other instances. You canât really âguaranteeâ a delete, since the other instances might just ignore your request for delete.
Suddenly going down seems to be a constant in my self hosted services thoughâŚ
If you use an instance just for yourself, it doesnât actually decrease the load on the main servers in any way.
Thatâs not completely true. Yeah, it still loads another server a bit, but the server-to-server federation traffic is much more lightweight than the client-to-server traffic that would be involved with you having an account on that server and accessing it that way.
But yeah, multiple, equally-sized communities on different instances is the ideal situation. The only sticky part right now is FOMO because youâd have to constantly watch for new SelfHosted communities and join them. Hopefully some frontend tools come along soon to make joining/managing multiple communities like that more streamlined.
Yes, ideally youâd want to have a few large communties on each instance and not all topics with a single userbase on one. This not only decreases the load but also prevents scenarios in which a single admin starts to capsule their instance with a large userbase away from the federation.
Also the assurance that your home instance wonât be suddenly federated from one of the major ones
