I keep burning myself out with projects that sound great on paper, but take weeks to complete. Hosting my own Lemmy instance was one of those things. Was it fun? Kinda. Would I do it again? Hell no
Ur doing the Lord's work helping build the lemmyverse
It took you weeks to host your own lemmy instance?
No, hosting was the easy part. Setting up a proper firewall, SMTP and building a custom docker image however…
Ah yeah, SMTP is usually a bitch. I only had an instance for myself back when I used lemmy and never bothered with actually setting up the email part lmao.
Aren’t you using Lemmy now?
I mean, kinda? I am on a piefed instance, which kinda means I don't actively use lemmy, but I am communicating with lemmy instances, so ... idk? If I had to choose, I'd say no.
