First post from my new, self-hosted, personal instance. Feels good!

    Nice! Just me on my instance too. The only downside I’ve found so far is that I have to discover new communities in my own since there is no one else to populate “All”.

    Small price to pay to have control over my instance though.

      this is just a quick script I came up with, but it will show you newest communities and their descriptions. It refreshes daily. maybe it will be helpful for discovering niche communities : https://lemmyfind.quex.cc/

      Yeah it was a bit annoying at first, but I just created a “all” user that just subbed to everything (well not everything, shout-out to all the communities that speak another language). I don’t recall exact links but if you just search for “all bot Lemmy” there are some stuff people have made which will just auto join basically all communities in an instance

      I’m really thinking about spinning up my own instant. I joined lemmy.one a while ago and it dark at the moment. After reddit I’m not digging the lack of control… Do you have any recommendations for running your own instant?
