Hi all, I tried hosting my own lemmy instance to take some of the load off lemmy.world, but a lot of the posts do not get synchronised to my instance. When they do, they never got more than a couple upvotes.

I get a lot of warnings in the logs that I’ve got an incoming connection not on my allowed hosts, of which I’ve put “lemmy.world” and “lemmy.ml

Does self hosting like this actually reduce the load on lemmy.world and the fediverse? And how can I fix the issue I’m having?

    Can you share that? Would love to use it for our instance. Previously was subbing to stuff manually to populate our small instance and it was a pain.

      I can share it, but right now I have it grabbing the latest artifact from the lemmy-exporter which looks like as of June 3rd they stopped updating their repo with the export artifact. Meaning, I need to implement some sort of crawler myself or use a different method for generating the list of communities.

      I can share the code with this caveat if you want to use it anyway/try and change it yourself. It is written in Golang… will post back in a bit with a github repo. need to set it up
