150 MB of RAM is a bit optimistic. However I agree that you should be okish with cheap 1GB 1vCPU VMs for a one user instance.
Maybe even host it on an old laptop you can use as a server.

That's not the most convenient though. You could have an account on any instance that's not lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works and you'd be able to access both beehaw and Lemmyworld/shitjustworks
Reddit is frequented by many IT guys (no gender implied).
Reddit is angering the IT guys.
Reddit doesn't seem to know they your NEVER mess with the IT guy.
It is useful but I don't think they're equivalents. There's probably multiple technology subreddit alternatives that I enjoy, none of them being a sole replacement.
Greetings from Lemmy to Mastodon!
It can mean that the instance is overloaded. In the case of beehaw for a Lemmy.world user, it means the instance has defederated.
Right? Thank you for confirming that I'm not extremely stupid when I didn't manage to get the docker installation working, only the Ansible one.
Not currently. I'm pretty sure it'll be a thing eventually since other fediverse clients already support local only posting.
Keep in mind that if you enable nsfw images will still be blurred. You might want someone helping you moderate for the time being. I'm sure the feature is coming soon.
You need to be a user at that instance and write the community in the search box so that it's discovered and fetched for the first time.
Type it in as !name@instance.domain
Search Wait a few seconds Refresh page if still doesn't show. Then it should appear. Subscribe
This teaches the remote instance that this community exists.
You get the most flexibility by hosting your own instance since you get access to all instances and all communities and you won't be defederated from unless you act in a toxic way.
The only draw back is that you have to subscribe to each community individually since you won't have a "local" timeline, especially not one as populated as lemmy.world.
But if that's not a problem then self hosting, or the next best thing, choosing a small non-polemic instance is the way to go.
If you had created an account on a provider that wasn't lemmy.world or sh.itjust.works you'd had access to everything but with just one account.
Even if you disagree with beehaw, it's not a bad idea since it spreads the load of users across instances.
