Hi I have an instance but still very underutilized. If anyone is feeling lawful-good please can you try using my instance for a while to increase the load?

Will eventually help lemmy.world as if more users used this instance then they would benefit from lower load on their server.

Appreciate in advance.

    What are your views on moderation? I see that you seem to have a lot more blocked instances than lemmy.world - can you give a quick rundown of what you consider to be acceptable or unacceptable content?

      Actually all the instances were from lemmy.world. lemmy.world just removed some recently for some reason (unknown to me) and I havent removed them from my list yet. I normally just sync the lists every now and again. I dont have any personal views, i just pull the list from lemmy.world and let them decide. If there is a difference it was because eith er my list is slightly out of date by a few days, or the bot script found something ans was run at a different time than they ran it. Essentially I dont host any content so there isnt much to moderate, thus my views are largely irrelevant.

      I asked lemmy.world admin about the missing ones and he is going to add them later tonight. They went missing due to the recent breach and have not been added back yet that is why there is a difference.

    Thank you for taking the time to set this up and make it open to the public. Do you have bot protection measures in place?

      There is a script the admins of various instances have shared to block instances that have bots, as well as the normal making new sign ups harder for bots. If there is anything suspicious I normally make registration require validation as well until it can be resolved.

    I’ll give it a shot. I haven’t tried any other instanced then Kbin so I don’t know what I got to do.

    After vlemmy.net went bust, I suspect that users will increasingly choose well-established instances:

      1. Is your instance hosted on a computer in your home or at a hosting company?
      1. As I understand from your description, your host will act as a “mirror”, so no communities will be hosted on the server. Is that why your instance doesn’t have any clearly written rules or values?
