Starting lemmy server - which hardware to get? Dedi? ram? cpu? (thelemmy.club)

Hey guys. Im trying to fully move to lemmy.
Unfortunately many subreddits I was using - are not represented on lemmy. So I figured I would just sync content from reddit for those communities - so I scripted auto-reposter of top most popular reddit posts to lemmy.

but. im running into issues.

Lemmy communities that sometimes 0 content with last content sometimes posted 2 years ago - they ban me for "spam" when I auto post content even if their lemmy communities literally have no content...

This community just banned me, last post in that community was 2 years ago:
https://lemmy.ml/c/buildapcsales

What are they even moderating?
I cannot make this shit up.

Anyways - I would rather do my own server then deal with mods worse than on reddit that actually allows that.

the plan is - siphon reddit content until lemmy community is big enough where it does not need that.

People have attempted this before. Like others have said, it didn’t really go well and a lot of people blocked those communities or have entire instances defederate from them. I think it was lemmynsfw (RIP) that thrived with mirrored content because, well, porn.

I’m still subscribed to communities that post via rss bots, but it’s for specific topics (i.e. tech, hackernews), not general content.

But hey, the beauty of the fediverse is you can do whatever you want on your own instance, so feel free to do it. Don’t be suprised though if not a lot of instances will choose to federate with you.
