I hope this post is not too off topic. I thought that it would be nice to see the address of all the small self-hosted instances of Lemmy (1~5 users).
Fellow self-hosters of Lemmy, what is your domain name?

For container orchestration, which is mostly what k8s provides, then you could use docker swarm or nomad. You could use docker-compose with multiple replicas of the wanted container + a load balancer to divide the load.
In general I don't think k8s/k3s is needed for hosting lemmy yet, but since I have a setup for k3s, it is easier for me to use it.

how do you handle the sled state for pictrs with 2 nodes? I've been having some trouble with it.
blazarious 1 point 3 years ago
I see, thanks. What volume(s) are you persisting that way exactly? I mean the internal path that pictrs is using.
lemmy 2 points 3 years ago
The internal path, I'm persisting is /mnt, but I also use an older version of pictrs(0.3.1). Think the newer version uses a different path.
I also needed to add the following for the pictrs container to work correctly.
securityContext:
runAsUser: 991
runAsGroup: 991
fsGroup: 991

lemmy.nrd.li - The domain is pronounced Nerd-ly. I welcome anyone that considers themself a nerd and anything someone feels like being nerdy about.
I also have like 20+ others domains... Most of which are unused... I may have a problem.

https://lemmings.basic-domain.com (basic-domain.com since I already had it) lemmings because I loved that game, and it had a "lemmy" touch to it
Andreas 6 points 3 years ago
https://leddit.danmark.party, because it's running a bot named Leddit that pulls content from Reddit. And, uh, Denmark Party, because I love Denmark and I thought it would be really funny to own a domain named this. I also wanted to split my serious and silly projects into different domains, so I bought this extra domain and use it for all of my silly projects now.
(Not posting directly from that instance so I can leave the bot in peace, but federation definitely works because posts from it are getting through to other instances)

I started with fbxl.net, the domain I've owned forever. It started with social.fbxl.net, then video.fbxl.net, then lotide.fbxl.net, and now lemmy.fbxl.net. I've also got a matrix home server and a nostr relay.
If there's a piece of advice I can give you, it's to plan to self host more than just one thing. Once you have one thing, you're going to find out it's kind of addictive having your own thing to go to and you might want to host other things. Subdomains are a nice way to give you that chance.

I created dis.ney.ink to try to be the Lemmy version of the Disney subreddits (such as r/dvcmember and r/waltdisneyworld) ... so far there's 3 users and ~9 subscribers
nick 4 points 3 years ago
I have a few but my main one is https://nick.geek.nz followed by https://nickwebster.dev which currently just had a redirect, some email stuff, and this Lemmy instance.
SamSpudd 4 points 3 years ago
Mine, though it says 202 users, is only actually 2, me and a test account, cause it got botted due to me leaving open registration. Luckily found out about 10 seconds after it started, but still, annoying. Though yea, just myself on here for now. :D

you might wanna clean up your database there. at least purge anyone from the local_user table who doesn't belong there so that they can't log in. if you also remove all the relevant entries from person it will fix the displayed user count as well.

it's intended to be a highly reliable little instance. For now it's closed, though, until I figured out how to properly handle pictrs' internal state.

I started a habit a while back ago of naming any servers I run based off of names from Greek mythology - my primary server is Zeus but most forms of just "Zeus" in domain form are already taken. Similarly, I call the quasi-internal network that this server runs (since it's a hypervisor) "ZeusNet"...
Problem with that name is "ZeusNet.net" is redundant and would irk me, I wanted something that still ends with the .net TLD (though my personal domain ends with .network).
This, zeuslink.net is what I came up with given that "link" can mean "network" and the combination isn't as redundant as "...net.net"!
Funnily enough, originally my instance was originally under the colony subdomain which I quite liked... But unfortunately I didn't set things up properly due to how I have everything else setup, and I had already dipped just enough in the federation that when I reset everything so that it actually worked properly, the keys that my server identified with no longer matched which broke my ability to federate properly. Which then forced me to reset everything again under a completely different subdomain (I'm glad it was on a subdomain instead of the root domain for that reason) since Lemmy doesn't have a "self destruct" option like Mastodon has (which tells all connected instances "Hey, I'm going down - forget you knew me" as far as I understand it).
And that is the origin story of my domain, along with the subdomain. Thinking about it now, I should copy all of this as a standalone post on my instance 😅

https://pricefield.org for me. i've seen the move to lemmy, thought for half a second about my favorite fandom, and knew it had to happen.
it's been a rougher ride than i expected but it's hella exciting

Closed registration while I fix some stuff, which might be a while. So I've only got 2 human users or so.
Last I checked mine is the only instance in Vietnam, but that might not be true anymore.

Hello. I run coeus.sbs
It hasn't been running long and it will evolve over time. I have a community called !green@coeus.sbs for posting images of green things.
ShellMonkey 3 points 3 years ago
https://lemmy.socdojo.com because I'm not creative with names and just tacked it onto everything else on my lab/domain. The 'socdojo' part came from my first IT job where the T2/SOC referred to their little cave as the 'socdojo' aka a training ground for the soc newbs.

It says I have 6 users but 2 of those accounts are test users I created when I was getting everything setup. My friend and I are on there and that’s really it.
Edit: somehow I have 20 users now which is kind of neat. Just not sure how many are valid since I had open registrations for a while (it’s still open to users but with verification and captcha enabled).
EarlTurlet 15 points 3 years ago
Odd that you would get so many "Jamie" domains, Moe.

Can anyone tell me the advantage of selfhosting Lemmy?
I have my Raspberry Pi which is only doing pihole atm and I've got an M2 Mac mini with some spare resources with docker installed so I've got hardware for it but what does it actually do?
jason 9 points 3 years ago
I decided to pull the trigger when I was on sh.it just.works and Beehaw defederated them and Lemmy.world. I immediately couldn’t see posts from the super active beehaw communities even though I didn’t do anything. Realized it kind of did matter which instance you chose.
Totally never going to run a community on here, but at least I can see everything now, I can keep my post history, and if I get defederated it’s probably because I messed something up with my server
kurogane 4 points 3 years ago
Random thoughts here:
I am in control of the backup of my data.
I don't have to worry about an instance going off, or a radical change of policy.
I can choose whatever pseudonym I want.
I participate in the decentralization of the network, which feels good after the fiasco of monolithic Reddit.
(Edit) I am also in charge of its content and its user base.
skybluesky 1 point 3 years ago
I am in control of the backup of my data.
This made me curious - does your own instance also have a copy of anything you post in communities hosted on other instances?
ninjan 2 points 3 years ago
lemmy.mildgrim.com
It's a bit longer than most but I do run a few other things under mildgrim.com but maybe I should've gone with like l.mildgrim.com instead to keep it shorter.
But a good self-explanatory URL is always a boon.
ellipse 3 points 3 years ago
Ellipse will do fine. While I admire your willingness to connect you account to you real identity, I enjoy the anonymity (or pseudonymity) internet provides. Have a good rest of the day Sebastian!
ninjan 3 points 3 years ago
The good thing is you can have both right? I can be the public me on this account and enjoy the perks of that, which include a sense of legitimacy, vulnerability and that I have something at stake when I stick my neck out. Then I can start the VPN, log on to a completely different account and be the private me. Though these days I find that less and less appealing. The ability to do so I will defend, and I don't blame anyone who wishes to be anonymous for no particular reason. But to me it's a lot of work for no, to me, tangible gain.

lemmy.funkyfish.cool Because I already had Calckey running on that domain
ObscureIcedCoffee 2 points 3 years ago
Hosting mine at hyperfair.link. Initially thought about using a domain I already had, but realized it had my name in it so registered a new one with a random name I came up with so I don’t doxx myself. Picked the .link tld because it somewhat fit with the Lemmy idea and it was cheap on AWS (where I already have other domains and what not).

I stood up an instance on linode for myself and a couple friends.
We’re lolimbeer.com !
Which is based on an old meme that I still find hilarious.
But, then I got a registration application that was excited about “lolis & beer”.
I still like the domain and I’ve had it sitting around for a minute, but i never really thought about it or read it that way before.
