I have built my own instance and federate with any instance that has interesting communities. No problems here.

Maybe, but I’m enjoying it.

I have created my own instance. With blackjack! And hookers, err, NSFW.

I found a cheap VPS and the easy_deploy script from git, that’s how it started. And for 10 €/month I’ll keep it going with a user count of 1.

Me, posting this from my own Lemmy instance: whoa, I’m a sysadmin!

The point is: Oracle did not accept my credit card for unknown reasons. I wanted to pay, they refused. Ok, will spend my money at Hetzner.
