So far Lemmy is vibing. Everyone here is excited and optimistic and willing to put up with a few rough spots to be part of something.

When the Eternal September comes, which it will, how does a Lemmy instance deal with bad actors?

      It’s part of the reason I chose to host my own rather than depend on another server somewhere. That way when I do fuck it up at least the only person to blame is me

      Yay federation and activitypub!

        Pardon my ignorance, I’ve only just started to figure out federated sites (I think, probably not though), what’s activitypub?

        Smart choice, do you have it set to private? The only thing I’d worry about is people trying to join my server and bogging down my internet lol

          I don’t have it set to private because when I tried that before it seems to break federation entirely. I do however have to approve anyone who wants to join. At this point I’d probably allow my close friends to join if they wanted, but that’s about it.

          Mostly because I am nearly 100% positive I will either lose my ZFS array, try to move the server to different hardware and bork psql, or what have you…

          My homelab is mostly duck tape and bubblegum.

          I’m gonna set mine up to where everyone has to be approved and approve nobody since it’ll be running on a Raspberry Pi
