Here we can discuss anything about this Lemmy instance/server itself.

I've been encouraging some people of the subreddit, but just as a user. Seems like a good idea to me, it fits the solarpunk ideal too.
It's a nice instance, runs quite well in my experience (there are federation issues now and then, but I'm not sure what's the cause, could be the other servers or some incompatibility between versions). Hosted in Europe. Also not too big either, which was important to me (almost everyone is flocking towards a few 'flagship' instances, forming new silo's, which is against the federated ideal).
The federation issues between Lemmy instances are a known issue and largely boil down to Lemmy tripping over itself at a certain size. Since ActivityPub is mostly push based, these too large instance then fail to send federation updates to smaller instances like ours and are also sometimes too busy to accept our pushes (but the latter is AFAIK a smaller problem).
There are some improvements for that in the upcoming 0.18.1 version, but since other admins are reporting some issues with the -rc test versions of it, I have been reluctant to upgrade until the official release it out.
