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.
