I’m trying to better understand hosting a Lemmy Instance. Lurking discussions it seems like some people are hosting from the Cloud or VPS. My understanding is that it’s better to futureproof by running your own home server so that you have the data and the top most control of hardware, software etc. My understanding is that by hosting an instance via Cloud or VPS you are offloading the data / information to a 3rd party.

Are people actually running their own actual self-hosted servers from home? Do you have any recommended guides on running a Lemmy Instance?

    All too slow! My new job is taking a fair share of time, but I project getting back on track in a month or so. But I already have my Lemmy server, and I’m building a little “slow game” multiplayer with action points in python, so I’m not totally exhausted :-)

    So how’re you doing?
