Hello, with the spicy beehaw drama I was wondering, would it be possible to selfhost a lemmy instance literally just for yourself and no one else to like, circumvent any defederation shenanigans? As all instances federate per default, this should work right?
Allthough, as far as my understanding of how federation works is that I would need to manually subscribe to every community on every instance that I’m interested in as federation only syncs communities that have at least one subscriber on the hosting instance, correct?
Or is there a way to subscribe to EVERYTHING?
Other than that is there any obvious downside to doing that?
Defederation of a couple of servers. Think one was lemmy.world
Lol that’s a big yikes. Glad I never managed to make an account over at beehaw.
It’s just temporary until mod tools mature enough to deal with the trolls that were using lemmy.world’s open registration and automated registration approval to quickly evade bans and troll beehaw.
