Does it make sense to host your own instance of lemmy for one user?
I’m asking in general but also in terms of privacy. Is it worse that you’re more easily connected to your real identity through owning the domain?
I'm doing it and I like it. But I switched to PieFed which is easier to maintain.
When setting up my own here, I was debating to go for PieFed because I like the underlying features - but having had no sysadmin experience before, I went with Lemmy due to better documentation. But I am thinking about switching - can you "migrate" your instance, or did you just set up a new PieFed one and abandon the old Lemmy one?
Yeah, no migration available, which is a potty but that would be quite difficult to do it right.
Sad, but, yeah, that is more than understandable, the whole database migration alone would be a massive headache to get right, I think.
