I’m using a Raspberry pi 3 and attempting to compile Lemmy. It’s been frozen since about 10am eastern time. I’m hoping it’ll finish overnight.

Do you have any experience running Lemmy on a pi? I’d love to hear your stories.

    I haven’t tried anything like it, but I’d be somewhat interested in hearing how that turns out. Lemmy does a fair bit of DB reads/writes, and I don’t think the throughput of the average SD card is up to the task if you subscribe to a lot of things or get a number of users.

    But I’m totally open to being wrong.

      I’m attempting with Lemmy Easy Deploy now. I tried a couple other methods already and failed. If I fail this time then I’ll have to try yet a fourth or possibly fifth way. But I think I’m out of options at that point lol. I’ll update this post if I get it started.

    I’ve compiled it and am running it on a CM4 with 8GB of memory. Still took quite a while to compile. I think a Pi3 is a bit too anemic for this.
