I’m reading up on self-hosting Lemmy, and I was planning on creating my own private instance for individual use on some spare Azure ASP I use to host private FreshRSS (not rich to host a public service).

This basically shuts my idea down, because I wanted to simply host my account myself and browse all of Lemmy as I please.

So is everyone hosting individual instances dealing with them being public? is there a workaround to avoid having a public service that anyone can see?

    the load on the major servers by having one more instance that subscribes to everything

    But why would the instance subscribe to everything?
