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?
- How will I be able to federate with other instances?
- Will I be able to interact with communities from other instances?
- What type of hardware will be required to self host?
- And finally is it worth to run our own instance?
You can launch a free 4 core VPS in the Oracle cloud with 24GB of memory
I mean, lots of providers have free trials (including some of the ones I mentioned), that 4Cx24G instance will cost like $100/mo (which is pretty competitive TBF) and you get a $300 credit for signing up… Oracle’s actual free tier is 2 VMs with 1/8Cx1GB each (which is pretty neat).
Also, I would just never consider Oracle for cloud hosting or anything else, because fuck Oracle. They’re worse than IBM. Larry Ellison is a lawnmower.
