I want to self host my own lemmy instance for personal use. I have seen there Github page and it is really easy to set up but I have some questions?

  1. How will I be able to federate with other instances?
  2. Will I be able to interact with communities from other instances?
  3. What type of hardware will be required to self host?
  4. And finally is it worth to run our own instance?

You can launch a free 4 core VPS in the Oracle cloud with 24GB of memory

I mean, lots of providers have free trials (including some of the ones I mentioned), that 4Cx24G instance will cost like $100/mo (which is pretty competitive TBF) and you get a $300 credit for signing up… Oracle’s actual free tier is 2 VMs with 1/8Cx1GB each (which is pretty neat).

Also, I would just never consider Oracle for cloud hosting or anything else, because fuck Oracle. They’re worse than IBM. Larry Ellison is a lawnmower.
