Pros:

  • Lemmy is my replacement for Reddit, so I'm definitely not abandoning it any time soon
  • Regularly updated
  • I manage servers for a living, I generally know how to handle stuff like this
  • Rules are lax, basically don't do anything illegal, don't spam and you won't be banned from the instance (mods can still ban you on their own discretion from specific communities)
  • Hosted in EU
  • I don't care about, nor do I collect, your personal data
  • There's a bot that travels across the Fediverse and subscribes to popular communities, meaning your "All" feed won't be half-empty and is comparable in content to the largest instances
  • The instance has "lemmings" in the name. Yes, that's a pro.
  • If you ask, I might make you a lemming-related, ai-generated profile picture

Cons:

  • It has a bus factor of one - if I get hit by a bus, the instance goes down within a month of not paying for hosting
    • As an upside, I try my best to not get hit by a bus (so far with 100% success rate)

Joined, this seems promising! I appreciate the defederation from the most harmful instances with an open policy otherwise. Also appreciate the ability to create communities and upload images. Thanks for creating this instance and good luck with growing it!

Thanks, I'm glad to see you on board!

Sounds good. I already have a couple of accounts on other instances and this one seems like a good alternate as well. Thanks!

How do you plan to protect the instance from DDOS attacks?

On the webserver level, don't really want to use CloudFlare or similar (though I may deploy it temporarily as a quick fix).
