There's also NaCl which has a few nifty JS libraries, meaning it could be embedded right into Lemmy's UI.
This is an example:

Note: admins can delete remote communities without having to block the whole instance.
If lemmy.world admins clicked on "remove" on the offending remote communities that would block them but keep access to the rest of the instance.
That said, I understand the concerns.
Those are just your average blocked mastodon instances.
I don't think so. It's not linear. And of course, if you host many users or a lot of content then you could ask for donations.
It's much more like Twitter. I don't think it's like Facebook at all. The content is exactly the same content as on Mastodon or pleroma since it interoperates perfectly with them.
It can also receive Lemmy posts, but it's not ideal. Lemmy needs to work a bit on making its content more accessible from outside Lemmy, but I'm sure that'll come in due time.
Just wait until they nuke them too...
Not yet. But I expect Lemmy to be more mature, stable and have new features in about six months. This is going to be a marathon. Not a sprint.
Oh wow, I need to check this out. I might do this with LXC containers
I'm pretty sure there is instances that would not only welcome you with open arms but even have communities so that you can promote yourself.
Choosing your home instance is the most important step. Or you can choose a neutral instance and use it to post on artist friendly communities that might be hosted on remote instances.
It doesn't. Beehaw blocked LW and SIJW because of open sign ups and, what I assume, was people creating new accounts when their old one was banned.
If you're not on any of those two instances or on beehaw, you're not impacted.
Beehaw is sending a message, imho, that instances need take reasonable measures to ensure their users don't repeatedly commit some sort of abuse.
This raises a question about the use case of user-only instances and community-only instances which might not be a bad idea.
In my case I started with 4GB but had to double because there seems to be some memory creep / leak that gets reset when you reboot the server.
Of course, I'm hosting 50 active users and communities with over 200 subscribers.
Overall I would say that Lemmy is indeed lightweight.
The best way is to have a small server with wireguard installed, which is a VPN. This runs on virtually anything, including a raspberry pi or even a router with open-wrt.
Anyways, your wireguard server will only accept connections from devices that have its certificate (secure passwordless authentication).
Once you're connected to that VPN, it's effectively as being in your home network.
You might want to Google for guides on how to setup wireguard on a raspberry pi. Even if you don't have a PI you'll surely find the tutorial you need.
