I’m new to Lemmy. I came across join-lemmy.org and browsed the servers by “most active.” Blåhaj stood out to me because of its cute logo. I’m a straight cis girl, but I love the LGBT community, and being an escort I’ve met many trans girls (and some gay guys) through my work, so I’ll always stand in full solidarity with them. I also noticed that the instance has downvotes disabled, which made it feel like the right place for me, lol. Curious how it went for you all.
Mine is self hosted. I like having control.
I can also experiment with bots this way.
I wanna do that too at some point
It’s easy. When I started out, I just had a cheap 3€/month vps at hetzner. Unless you want to self host more stuff, that should be enough for a single user instance or you can also self host Piefed or Mbin.
