Looking to maybe self host my own instance, I'm still learning about the fediverse. If a different instance that I federate with hosts something illegal are there risks to me? Is anything from other instances hosted on my server like a copy of it? Or would I only end up hosting things my users post? I'm paranoid and sorry if this is a silly question.

There should be a place to document all the nuance around hosting an instance plus some tips and tricks.

The Wiki: https://joinfediverse.wiki/What_is_Lemmy%3F

Hopefully it gets new contributors and maintainers from all the new users.

Yikes, I didn't even know there was a wiki. Thank you!
