this is the best news i’ve heard all day. this is the ideal solution. An internet community that is owned and operated and administered by the community participants, not some centralized authority.
Nobody can deplatform you when you are your own platform host. it takes work but the reward is autonomy and freedom to communicate.
@[email protected] is the instance administrator for that instance and has already gained experience in the business of hosting a lemmy instance. you could possibly reach out to them if you have any questions or are looking for direction.
I know we’re all flying by the seat of our pants atm but once things form up a little better will PP & Co make an announcement/ELI5 post on where to find things?
Dabbling and figuring out some of these new sites (including X even)- but somewhat anxious on losing/missing messages. Perfect example: “what’s the difference between this lemmy server (you made?) Versus a ‘dedicated’ one?”
Thank you for all you do and Happy 🦃 to you and your family!
I’m working with ppseeds to set up a dedicated Lemmy server that isn’t dependent on any external arbiter.

Thanks - I’m hoping other experts step up to help run this, I have a day job that is fairly busy
It’s a good question - we are on the Lemmy.world aggregated server currently, but I’m working on setting up a server we own to host the instance.
Anyone want to help?
I know I’m a little late, but any way I can still be of help? Financially or otherwise?
