To explore instances (including Beehaw) without restrictions, I created this instance. To be listed on join-lemmy.org, my instance should have at least 5 active users, according here. So would any 4 people consider signing up? The instance host is lemy.lol.

Note that im using lemmony to be in sync with all communities of fediverse.

Update: 5 people signed up except me, my test user account and my community seeder account! Thanks to everyone involved in this!

Why do you want to be listed?

[-] iso@lemy.lol 22 points 1 year ago

to be used πŸ‘ It's nice to have a few people with me to discuss something. It's all loneliness right now πŸ₯Ή

[-] freeman@lemmy.pub 9 points 1 year ago

I use my own instance. It’s fine and I interact with whoever I want. Including you, now.

[-] iso@lemy.lol 3 points 1 year ago

This is what fediverse is for right! Salute you from my instance 🫑

[-] OptimusPrime@lemmy.moonling.nl 2 points 1 year ago

And I’ll salute you from my instance 🫑

[-] Hiru@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

And why would you create your own instance in the first place?

[-] iso@lemy.lol 5 points 1 year ago

I was using sh.itjust.works first but its banned by Beehaw. I see that best bet for long run is self-hosting.

[-] Hiru@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

And what about using some other big instances? (World, ML and such) Too bad about the banning though

[-] sab@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Generally speaking, it's fantastic if people branch out like this and the threadiverse is fragmented into many smaller instances.

It relieves bigger instances of (some) content moderation, and as long as the community hosted at the server behaves well it should remain federated with all reasonable instances.

It also prevents one or a few instances from becoming monopolistic, ensuring that the Fediverse will live on in a decentralized and egalitarian way. Theres nothing in the nature of the fediverse indicating that big instances should be preferable over smaller ones - it's rather the other way around.

There's also personal reasons of course. If you self host you also get to make all the calls who to federate with - do you want to associate with Threads? Lemmygrad? LemmyNSFW? The "free speech absolutist" crowd? Self hosting gives you control.

Some people also just enjoy having control over the services they use, and some just enjoy tinkering. selfhosted@lemmy.world is a nice community if you're curious. :)

Really interesting answer, ty for sharing your thoughts

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 0 points 1 year ago

I can also see, if it doesn't exist already, communal ban lists that people can voluntarily apply to their instance. If the ban list gets heavy handed, people won't use it.

[-] sab@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yes, this is absolutely a thing - there's a shared list that most of Mastodon has gotten behind. Not without drama of course, but generally it seems to be working well.

[-] iso@lemy.lol 3 points 1 year ago

World is also banned and ML is always slow, unstable. Isn't there better fit instances? Yes there are. But I just want to try this.

[-] Hiru@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Understandable, I was just curious. Good luck mate!

Have you considered cats?

[-] iso@lemy.lol 3 points 1 year ago

I'm from Turkiye so I don't need to own a cat. They are already rule us πŸ˜€ I'm more of a cat person also.

(really I should have said something like to people to use right?)

[-] reflex@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Turkiye

Oha lan!

really I should have said something like "to people to use" right?

Oh I don't know, I think the grammar was fine. I was just trying to be punny 😏.

[-] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 3 points 1 year ago

Done! Look forwarding to using this instance as my main Lemmy account

[-] iso@lemy.lol 3 points 1 year ago

Thank you! I promise that I'll keep the instance up for as long as I can!

[-] chimay@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

done ; good idea to use lemmony ! fediverse is a rich world ...

[-] iso@lemy.lol 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Welcome sir 🫑

[-] Socialphilosopher@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I wondered. Can u use jerboa or other app with your own instance.

[-] iso@lemy.lol 5 points 1 year ago

It’s a standard instance. So yes I can use.

[-] Socialphilosopher@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

That's great πŸ‘πŸ»
