Running my own instance and commenting a lot
I’m waiting for it to end up beat up with baseball bats and dumped in a fountain
I use the lemmy-easy-deploy script on a hetzner vps - they have servers in ashburn which is the location im using - cant recommend lemmy easy deploy enough - here is a link: https://github.com/ubergeek77/Lemmy-Easy-Deploy
The best balance is to run your own instance like I do
Were they brown? Seems like that wouldn’t happen in Texas to a little white boy
I mean how else? I just started a virtual private server up (chose hetzner for this), secured it as best I can, setup cloudflare for it to proxy the IP for security through obscurity, and used the lemmy easy deploy script by ubergeek77 on GitHub; If you want a more detailed guide that will take more time
