The ~~first~~ Lemmy-as-a-blog instance : lemmy

Using Lemmy as a blog is an interesting idea, because it allows to distribute your posts to other users timelines easily, but does it do well in terms of cost of self hosting? How much more computational work does enabling federation require?

I have no idea, the documentation didn't even warn there would be any.

I'll keep you updated if I end up having any performance issues.

Completely unreadable. Fix your shit.

Yes, it’s fine. The issue isn’t with that post. It’s with this one, specifically with the external link preview, which isn’t Lemmy’s most reliable feature. It may not be an issue that OP can mitigate, and they may not need to, unless they intend to post links to their blog posts often.

Can you post what you're seeing? Looks like a Lemmy instance to me.

Seems like the crosspost markdowns are not parsed

I don’t think this is a crossposting issue; I think it’s an external link preview issue.
