Would it make any sense to stand up my own instance, federated with what I want, follow the communities I want from other instances, and just ignore the rest? Is there any reason to not do that?
If you're happy to pay whatever it costs to host then there's no other disadvantage to this.
The only thing I can think of is if you somehow end up at odds with an admin of a big instance and they defederate your instance. Or perhaps in the future major instances decide to only federate with instances of a certain size, for some as of now unpredictable reason
Could even run the instance from your phone or whatever device used to look at Lemmy
Has anyone done that and documented it? I know android phones are sort of linux, but still, does need some modifications.
Yeah no, it's not that simple lol
