Thanks all you guys who gave me suggestions and help!

I can see you! Near the top of my lemmy.world feed (I believe, I'm pretty new to all this as well)

Congratulations on getting your instance up!

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 10 points 1 year ago

Thanks! Amazing... Cool cool

[–] zippythezigzag@lemm.ee 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

you're coming in loud and clear from the lemm.ee instance.

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 9 points 1 year ago

Beautiful!

Really happy

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You’re coming in loud and clear here in the great white North!

How was the process of setting up self hosting?

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Actually much easier than I thought.

Went the docker way and only did a few errors... Took two tries to get everything in order. I am documenting the process here https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services%3Alemmy but the page is far from complete...

edit: i just finished updating the page, it should contain more or less all the issues and solutions i encountered.

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My instance of one now federates with your instance of one.

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So it's true after all that 1+1=11

Welcome, don't forget to claim and tag yourself on fediseer. Make sure you provide the target instance to guarantee for you when soliciting a guarantee. They will get a PM ;)

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 4 points 1 year ago

will do immediately! Thanks!

Neat!

Any chance you could share some resources on how you did it? I’d kinda like to give it a try…

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I will finish writing that on my wiki today at https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services%3Alemmy

edit: page done!

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 4 points 1 year ago

That's great!

I am really happy!

Take care friend.

[–] Sunny@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Curios about how much space is required for hosting a personal Lemmy instance? Is this something you know, if it's not too much I would be interested in hosting myself!

Nice work, although for single user instances I would suggest using PieFed.

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Care to elaborate? Interesting

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 3 points 1 year ago
