I want to self host my own lemmy instance for personal use. I have seen there Github page and it is really easy to set up but I have some questions?

  1. How will I be able to federate with other instances?
  2. Will I be able to interact with communities from other instances?
  3. What type of hardware will be required to self host?
  4. And finally is it worth to run our own instance?

    1. You can subscribe to any community or add the instance to the Allowed Instances
    2. Yes you can search the communities through your search e.g. [email protected] an subscribe to it
    3. My Instance is running on Hetzner I am using the CX21 (2 Cores, 4GB RAM, 40GB Disk Space) and its running really good (Its just me on this instance for now)
    4. definitely yes 😁
