With our growth numbers and with kbin finally with Lemmy again, things around the link aggregator fediverse feel more active than ever. Today when browsing all on Jerboa I saw so many more communities, posts, and comments than even yesterday. It’s starting to feel like we have some real traction going on here. Let me know if you agree or disagree.

Edit: fixed swypos

    Some of my favorite communities are in the instances that Beehaw defederated from. However the instance I use chooses to federate with everyone so I can see everything from everywhere.

      I decided to self-host my own instance for that reason. That way I’m actually totally in control of what I’m seeing. It does make finding new communities less organic, but it’s easy enough with the new listing tools. Probably not worth the money if all I ran on my server was Lemmy, but as an added service it’s great.

        I do have a homelab and could easily self-host a personal Lemmy instance if I wanted. But I’m not sure if it’s worth the effort.

          The ansible install on ubuntu wasn’t too bad, tbh. I haven’t touched anything backend since I installed, and it’s been chugging!
