I tried an install today and the setup and federation is amazing. seeing that first remote search result pop in was a thrill.
what amazing work has been done by the dev team! ansible scripts work like a charm, flip switch federation, and an inherited a+ security profile to boot.
I will probably remove this instance before the end of the year in favour of another more curated instance once I’ve kicked the tires a bit.
EDIT: This has been shutdown for the time being. I have another personal instance running on a debian server. Great first experience deploying lemmy on vps.
Seems so easy to make a Lemmy instance. How is it possible?
not to mention it can run on a $5 server with a $2 domain with no ads or third party trackers. I don’t know of anything comparable.
We need to federate!
What are you using to host?
it’s a ubuntu server on US based digitalocean in germany location. I haven’t been able to sign up for a non-US VPS for some reason (hetzner denied me along with one other).

Thanks, I’m very happy to hear that :)
They should add https://raddle.me/ to their meta-aggregator.
Is this federated with this Lemmy instance? If so, please remind me how to subscribe to communities.
It’s federated one direction from oklinks to lemmy. The automated concept would potentially flood other instances so not really good for bidirectional.
You can subscribe from there by searching https://lemmy.ml/c/<community> or search for a name like ufrafecy@lemmy.ml. You basically get a read only view. It’s in the docs :
To do this you have to enter a reference to a remote object, such as:
!main@lemmy.ml (Community)
@nutomic@lemmy.ml (User)
https://lemmy.ml/c/programming (Community)

Sweet! Let us know when you want to set up that curated one, or just continue using oklinks.xyz , and we’ll add you to our allowed instances list, and add it to join.lemmy.ml
I thought the instance avatar was dwarf with the dick out.
