Where can I learn about transferring my community to another instance? Lemmy.worlds silence about threads means he has no intent to defederate so I need to move over to lemmy.ml.
Or is this not possible? Do I just need to walk away from my community because @ruud doesn’t care about the issue?
If that’s the case, how do I add a mod that doesn’t care about meta expressly stating they are going to add features to ActivityPub protocol (step two of EEE)? I don’t want to keep coming back here if it is federated with threads but I don’t need to leave whoever is staying here high and dry.
Make your own instances. No more issues.
Is there a quality guide for how to do this? Preferably hosted rather than my home server.
Use the ansible Lemmy install, it's very simple and will also create https certs and everything. But you need a domain first, pointed at your hosted server ip address.

So basically:
That's pretty much it. The ansible install takes care of everything.
Then you need to subscribe to some other instance community from your instance so other instances know you exist, for federation to work.
Awesome, thanks.
How much power does it take to run an instance? Not planning on hosting my own, just curious. I read stories about people being able to host a Mastodon instance on a Raspberry Pi.
Yeah it doesn't take much for a small instance. My instance uses 1 GB of memory and like 2% cpu on each core (got 3 cores). But I only have a handful of active users.
There are multiple.
Perhaps point me one that you, in your judgment, think is particularly good?
Im just a noob thats interested. I havent tried it yet. But ive found a couple guides.
Check out the self hosting communities. Ill see if i can find the one im thinking of but Lemmy also has an official guide in the documentation.
