I'm sitting here in my daughter's room, while she had an absolute banger of a meltdown. But upside is I'm taking the time to research what it would take to self-host my own Lemmy instance. I like the idea of my own personal instance that I can then federate through, rather than my account being tied to someone else's instance.

I tried last week with an oracle cloud free tier and a Lemmy easy deploy script. It didn't work but apparently the script has been updated now.

Good to know, I did read that the docker instance is a right pain to setup, but apparently there is a nice ansible script. Would be a good excuse to learn ansible. 😄
