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!
Setup some RSS bots to auto-post news on your instance.
Why do you want to be listed, to create an actual public instance? Or did you create it for just your own use?
Initially I set it up to self-host. However, there may be an instance with communities in the future. IDK. It feels good to be listed somewhere on Fediverse :)
For micro/personal server runners, I built a tool to automatically discover and add communities to your local instance :)

EDIT: For support requests, I’ve created https://lemmy.world/c/lsbsupport as well.
Hey good job! May I ask how it differs from Lemmony?
Hey there, thanks for bringing to my attention. Frankly speaking, I believe both serve the same purpose, but I’m hoping mine would be a better experience in the long run. If you are content with Lemmony, then I see no reason to try mine out, no hard feelings either :)
EDIT: From the looks of it Lemmony subscribes to every instance known to man? I try to alleviate around that by only subscribing to the most popular of instances, but I’m not sure that actually alleviates the federation issues outlined in the Lemmony threads.
Yeah I already set it up with daily cron jobs, so I can’t change RN 🥹
It seems like yours have a daemon so its already scheduled process right? If I encounter with an error in future, I may give it a try.
Yes, but in my opinion, running it with cron is a better option, it’s simply a more reliable scheduler than what I wrote.
Nah this is what docker for I believe. Run it, done. No modifications on host machine.
Nothing stopping you from using cron, to run it with Docker :)
