    They could really do with better explanation of the federated servers before people sign up. I did do a little research before I knew which instance to use

      Well, that’s why open source is so powerful - everything can (and, in fact, should) be done by community for community

      Usually developers aren’t good writers :)

      I still hope it will become easier one day to Docker-host a Lemmy instance where other Docker setup and containers are already present and cannot be changed just for Lemmy.

        I spun up a separate instance because I didn’t even want to bother trying to roll my own unsupported reverse proxy config. And things are still glitchy enough as is. It’s a fun learning experience, though. Sometimes the less polished things are, the more opportunity there is to learn

        Yeah, I admittedly havent looked into it too much but if it were easy enough I’d set up an instance at the very least to host users.

      Yeah, I’m sure it’s only getting worse… I’m in a few instances, and haven’t payed too much attention to what others were around for a couple of weeks now.

      You know what? I think it’s good if it’s not that accessible. The internet has turned to shit because every fucking idiot with a phone has such easy access to it. It’s good if people have to think for a minute before being able to participate. It’s not difficult, but it might cull the toxic bullshit people a bit.
