I mean, same concept

Interesting. I think Lemmy only caches thumbnails, but it pulls images from the instance that the post/comment is from.

A beehaw admin said their instance only is taking 25GB total. So it seems much lighter.

600GB of media? How many users did you have? Or does Mastodon cache media from other instances on your own?

Also if someone sets a "Display name" it will just show that, even on the website

There's no easy way right now but I made a post earlier on how to do it manually.

Not really. You can do pretty much everything with one account. You can even become a moderator of another community on a different instance.

Only thing you can't do is create a new community on a different instance.

Heh. Username is default but isn't the password defined in the docker file? That's not default.

Yeah, I do that on my home server but my VPS had passwordless sudo by default so I was too lazy to do this.

You can subscribe to pretty much any community on any instance so you really don't need to make multiple accounts. You can comment, vote, post, etc on beehaw communities from your lemmy.ml account

We're just too cool for reposts

[–] bdonvr@lemmy.rogers-net.com 5 points 2 years ago

Pretty much!

I can confidently say both, as I've started my own instance of lemmy and have allowed a small amount of users to join.
