Does anyone run their own Lemmy instance on a pi? How was the process of setting it up? Were there any pitfalls? How is performance?

    I’m a newbie here but what would be the benefit of running an instance just for yourself?

      The ability to host your own data - both for privacy, and insurance that the instance you host your account in won’t suddenly disappear.

        That, and somehow I think it’s nice to be able to federate with a username within your own domain when you have one. (or multiple, decisions, decisions, which one to pick ;) )
