I'm starting to see mastodon users on my tiny pixelfed server. It's such a good feeling.
On the sad side, my Lemmy update went south and I had to remove it off my setup. Still looking for a good replacement for max two users. Something dirt simple like GoToSocial turned out to be.
I had a similar problem with Lemmy, UT's not optimized for small instances.
I went with PieFed und am very happy with it.
What's UT? Was about to run Lemmy myself
Auto correct changed "it's" to UT's.
You need kind of a beefy server which is not worth it for one or two people. That is why I installed PieFed instead which does the same but plays nicer on a small VPS with fewer resources.
Weird, I've heard exactly the opposite, some people are running Lemmy on a dual core. Just get a drive big enough if you plan to follow many communities. Guess I'll try anyways
Pyfedi is what you want.
I tried getting it setup but it didn't want to work on my system. The docker container didn't work with some errors and the docs seem like they need a bit of work. I love piefed, but if it takes more than a weekend to setup then I personally don't have enough time.
Great software though.
I got it to work then moved it to another server and couldn’t. So I get that.
If I can figure out how I setup lemmy would you want to know?
Sure! Truthfully, unless it's dead simple I'm going to let others host.
