Six months later, a new Removal of piracy communities announcement confirmed that these communities had been removed. [!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com](/c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com), which was the most popular piracy community, is still inaccessible to lemmy.world users. This is misleading: users see the old post, sign-up, and then find out they cannot access the community.

Please edit the original post to include the new removal announcement.

That's why I run my own instance, dont like others decide what must be censored for me.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Would love to know how to do that. Like to not be censored.

Yes I use docker, I have documented my effort here https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services%3Alemmy

It was pretty easy and require zero maintenance, just remember to update the containers. Space utiliztion and resources are pretty low, depending on how many communities you subscribe.

Also, I host it at home (with public reachable ip of course)

Thanks for sharing.

Have you had any issues with other, larger instances not federating with you? (just because your small, they don't want to risk being spammed by trolls/bots/etc)

This would be my only concern in hosting my own instance.

Never had such an issue

Much appreciated. Seems very detailed

Just an odour question from me because I don’t know. How does federation work? Do you need to specifically federate with everyone or just those you don’t want to federate with

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 5 points 9 hours ago

Its automatic. You can defederate, bit federation is utomatic.

I hope to do that too one day

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 3 points 12 hours ago

Its not that difficult you need a VPS or a public reachable ip at home and docker/podman.

[–] xvertigox@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

So you run your own instance and federate with other instances as you please? How are you hosting it / is it doable via docker?

Yes, you can use docker: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/install_docker.html

I recommend using a VPS with wireguard and a cheap used workstation like a Dell Optiplex for the actual hosting. That way you can forward all ports without your ISP knowing.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Thanks will look into this.

[–] xvertigox@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

Rad, tyvm. I've got a proxmox server at home running wireguard so I'll give it a hoon on that. Thanks again.
