I’ll be honest so far it’s just worked really well. I’m still finding my way around communities and federation. This was the first time that I’ve managed to get a Lemmy instance working so thanks for taking the time to do the write up and for sharing.

I did this for a couple of years and it became such a major hassle I just closed my server and told everyone to go get their own subscriptions. 30 terra-bytes of data deleted!!

Thanks for this! It’s the first time I’ve managed to get my own instance working. I’m not the most technical and have really struggled to get all the bits and pieces together to run my own instance and this just worked.
