This is corny, but thanks for being awesome! It feels so nice to see this community grow out of a shared vision of what the internet should be.

Standing up my little instance has been a blast! I’m not quite done with it, but your combined enthusiasm gives me hope for the future of the internet. 😊

    If you host your own 1 person server, you can federate with everyone else correct? Also, how is your storage usage looking with just one person?

      willemijn@derp:~/lemmy/volumes$ sudo du -hs postgres/

      This is the PostgreSQL database on a freshly-rebuilt server (that is, one with a small WAL) which has been running for nearly 3 weeks now.

      Yes, you can absolutely choose yourself, who you federate with. But I would look for ready-made blocklists and go from there. There’s stuff out there you just don’t want to see or even interact with.
