Since ISPs in my country all use CGNAT i rely on tailscale for access outside I wanna try hosting my own lemmy instance and have a few questions
- Are you still able to federate with other instances?
- only people on the VPN will be able to join?

You’ll be able to get an initial set of data from federation but you won’t get any data beyond that.
Federation works via “pushes”, but since your instance would be behind a VPN the other instances in the federation wouldn’t be able to see it to push content updates.
