Hey. I really like the idea of the fediverse and Lemmy and would want to know as a beginner/not so experienced regarding selfhosting what would be the best way to get started? I saw there are vps options, but don’t know of I’m looking in the right direction.
You don’t have to allow sign-ups, therefor no modding to do if it’s only you.
That’s what I’m doing. Totally closed sign-ups except for a few close irl friends.
This is what im going to do when I get a spare few hours to set it up.
Im looking at it in the same way as my searx instance. Just a private portal that will have as much uptime as I can maintain, federated with who I want and no one I dont.
Same. I’m glad I found this thread because I was wondering if it was ok to do this.
