There is always: https://slrpnk.net/c/selfhosting 100% certified self-hosted from free-ranging servers 😅
Also blame the reddit mods for it.
I registered/setup https://selfhosted.forum and I wanted to give it to any of the current mods. They passed because their idea of “we have a lemmy community already” is pointing to lemmy.ml
Ok, back to meme school for you
Lmao you beat me to pointing that out, he totally butchered the template
Yeah, the format is that she repeats the second panel on the fourth panel, with more question marks and concern. This version is almost like explaining the joke here.
Is there a community for gently abused memes that I can post this to?
LHBDM (Lemmy’s Home for Battered or Disheveled Memes)

He said gently bro
This is my favorite Star Trek episode, too. Ruined.
mic drop
This is the theme song for The Greatest Generation Podcast.
I feel like that page needs to allow scrolling and just tile that image forever in all directions.
Considering how overloaded lemmy.world is right now, a pi in someone’s basement would be better, and besides, centralization is bad. Federation is what prevents lemmy from becoming the next Twitter.
My favorite part is when it finally becomes somewhat less overloaded, and my instance gets flooded with a bunch of posts from there filling the entirety of my front page, and the second page…
I want to move to a selfhosted instance once I can migrate my account. Anyone knows if this feature will be implemented ?
I think it’s far down on their list of things to do unfortunately.
Literally just left lemmy.world because of how brutally slow it’s been
Same
Actually an instance dedicated to self hosted stuff would be great. We could have communities specifically for things like home lab, media hosting (Plex, Jellyfin, Emby), unRAID, TrueNAS, shit posting, hardware discussions, general conversations, etc.
This would reduce the strain on lemmy.world and give us all a dedicated home for more niche topics without posts getting buried
Something like selfhost.edu/c/jellyfin or self.host is a great name too, if I was in the position to do it I would haha
Someone already owns selfho.st, wonder when they are starting up the selfhosted Lemmy instance
Unfortunately, you can’t get .edu domains without being a school
But aren’t there already instances that are focused on these topics, like lemmy.ml or reddthat.com?
Well those instances are general ones. I am specifically talking about an instance dedicated to self hosting with communities dedicated to topics around self hosting
we need a tool to migrate communities then, so we can create a instance about selfhosting and migrate every community there
That was the idea behind borg.chat but I was a bit late to the party :)
This meme template NEVER gets old, lmao… Anakin’s face always gets me
In terms of an optimal load spread, it’s best if the lemmiverse is split into multiple equally sized instances. If you use an instance just for yourself, it doesn’t actually decrease the load on the main servers in any way. The only thing you get is a guarantee that your instance won’t suddenly go down.
Suddenly going down seems to be a constant in my self hosted services though…
Bow chicka bow wow
ayo gurl lemme go down on your stack
Yes, but we’re currently evolving into a situation where everything is centralized around Lemmy.world
If you use an instance just for yourself, it doesn’t actually decrease the load on the main servers in any way.
That’s not completely true. Yeah, it still loads another server a bit, but the server-to-server federation traffic is much more lightweight than the client-to-server traffic that would be involved with you having an account on that server and accessing it that way.
But yeah, multiple, equally-sized communities on different instances is the ideal situation. The only sticky part right now is FOMO because you’d have to constantly watch for new SelfHosted communities and join them. Hopefully some frontend tools come along soon to make joining/managing multiple communities like that more streamlined.
Yes, ideally you‘d want to have a few large communties on each instance and not all topics with a single userbase on one. This not only decreases the load but also prevents scenarios in which a single admin starts to capsule their instance with a large userbase away from the federation.
I wanna self-host my own instance so I have more control over my data.
I’m going to self host my own instance so I can have a cool username
What kind of “control” do you mean? Your posts/comments get replicated across all the other instances. You can’t really “guarantee” a delete, since the other instances might just ignore your request for delete.
By control, I mean I can back up my data and ensure my comments, subscribed communities, messages, etc are all available to me no matter what, I don’t have to rely on some external third-party managing it for me.
You also should be concerned about other people’s data on your instance tho
My instance will be for me only, I will be the only person on it and it will be closed for registrations. I won’t be responsible for anyone else’s data on my instance, nothing for me to be concerned about.
I’m not really sure about that. I’m not saying it as an expert or anything, but that’s a discussion I saw around here the other day.
Basically, once you federate and copy the content to your instance, it is in your server and you are responsible for it.
I’ll agree with a few things, tho:
It barely happens today, on centralized platforms. They’re hardly obliged to remove content because some judge says so (it does happen, tho, at least in my country)
I’d imagine it would be a bit of a grey area legally, right now. We would need legislation regarding the fediverse. Imagine someone posts child porn in an instance yours is federated to. Your instance copies the content. You notice and defederated the whole instance, but don’t remove the content. The dude is banned by his home instance and his post is removed. But his copy still exists in yours, since you defederated before his ban and content removal.
Just saying that selfhosting brings a lot of things that need to come to your attention.
Does Lemmy automatically grab all content from all federated servers, or does it only grab the content from communities you (and any other users on the instance) are subscribed to/are actively being visited?
I’m not so sure it does copy all content in the background.
Yeah, it’s only communities that people on your instance search for/subscribe to afaik. So if you’re the only one on your instance then you have control over that.
Further to that it’s only the post objects (and comments, etc.) that is replicated all pics and videos are just URLs. even when you upload a picture with the post, that’s just uploaded to the instance and the link to it is the link of the post, even on other instances the images are fetched from the original source from the client side. I do believe each instance does local thumbnaling.
Also the assurance that your home instance won’t be suddenly federated from one of the major ones
As long as you don’t let your instance become bot/nazi/tanky swarm, you are green…
If you self host a community how would anyone find it?
post it in New Communities and also it should show in Lemmy Explorer
Now it’s full of people who aren’t hosting it and it’s not self-hosted for them anymore.
The idea of a self-hosted community is meaningless. It has to attract people other than the hoster to be useful.
I want to self-host but don’t know how to code etc so not sure where to even start
Never self-hosted Lemmy, but have self-hosted other things in the past. While you don’t necessarily need to code, you need a fair amount of code-adjacent skills. If you ever want to get into self-hosting, you should have a look into (at least):
- the linux command line
- ssh
- how ports work
- VPS providers
- DNS registrars
- nginx
- docker (while you don’t need it to host things, it makes your life 10x easier)
docker (while you don’t need it to host things, it makes your life 10x easier)
…until you have a single extra space character hiding 20 lines into your
composefile and the whole thing falls over the next time you try to bring the containers up.Lint your code and configs every time!
VScode with “format on save” enabled. Literally never had an issue.
It’s the editor that finally made me move away from vim
I’ve been using vscode since it was released and I never knew that was an option. Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Xml wasn’t great but yaml is 2 steps backwards
Edit: tfw 3months ago
If you are wanting to self-host outside of your home-lab and use a VPS, it is pretty simple. Ubergeek77 has compiled a docker image to easily install it all in like 5 steps. Take a look, https://github.com/ubergeek77/Lemmy-Easy-Deploy

I laughed but I dunno about you guys but I don’t publicly self host anything. If you can’t auth via ssh or VPN then you’re not accessing a damn thing from my home network. I’ve got multiple routers that I could set up some isolation with but it’s just too close to home.
Inside the home even.
The connection is coming from INSIDE THE
houseINSTANCE!Can’t get hacked if all your services are down because you can’t get those cocksuckingmothershitbitchingassbastard routing tables right 🤯
Same here.
A tasker script automatically connects my phone to the Wireguard tunnel as soon as I disconnect from my home WiFi too, so I always have access to my services. It’s seamless, if I’m streaming music from Airsonic to my phone, and jump on my bike and take off, I don’t even skip a beat on playback.
Ah the magic of buffers.
Yep, and it’s also nice to have that buffer when I ride through a few dead zones where I drop data for like 5-10 minutes but I set Ultrasonic to preload/cache 8 songs so it doesn’t disrupt playback then either.
Me having everything open: Come here mother***s I am waiting for all of you.
VPNs? Cloudfare? Cloudfare Tunnels? Tailscale? What’s all that? Here we are fighters not pus***s.
(Just kidding about the previos comments haha, well I have it open but it’s not on my home network… so slightly less problematic and tbh I am planning on closing some stuff, plus all is behind logins, and tbh I kind of like to be able to access to it from anywhere/any computer without having to use any special connection)
Well, now I’m worried about my security. I have an ngrok tunnel running inside a container on a raspberry pi. Do I need to worry about my other devices or if someone tries to attack me only the container is affected?
Yeah… it is kinda hypocritical for this community to be based on .world, haha. There are plenty of people here running instances, who wants to volunteer as tribute and to sign up to be on call?
Well, it’s self-hosting, right. We each host our own server with our own self-hosting community. Alone. No other posters, commenters, or voters. Just each of us in isolation talking to ourselves about our hosting setup.
This is a dumb meme, there’s no such thing as self-hosting a community. A community only becomes valuable when you share it beyond the hoster, at which point it stops being self-hosted for most community-members. I believe Ruud did actually create this community, which means it is properly self-hosted as much as a successful community can be.
It is, but it’s also on a server that’s crippled by load. Each community having an instance makes sense as far as load goes.
I’ve got business fiber, redundant networking, power, storage, and servers! With a bunch of compute sitting offline atm. Would be willing to give it a shot 🤔
Needs monitoring though.
the guy selfhosting lemmy.world, is also the guy that made this community. nothing hypocritical about that.
Well, did you self host this meme?
just created an account on @lemm.ee bc of this 🤣
Eh, I guess I’m doing my part then 🤷
Shameless self-insert, if you want a new instance, try mine! https://lemmings.world, it’s a general-purpose instance and everyone’s welcome!
Oh my god, I laughed so loudly that I had to explain this comic to my wife. She thought I’m dying already.
