Reddit killed third party apps and I refused to use their shit app. It all just stinks of enshitification. So I spun up my own instance of Lemmy and haven't looked back.
You seem like a high initiative individual. Congrats. I lack technical sophistication to even buy a domain name lol. How much do you pay for lazysoci.al per year (the domain name)?
It's about £10 a year. I'm lucky though as I run a small side business which has some hosting capabilities. So there is already an enterprise grade set of servers ready to deploy Lemmy. I don't need to look for hosting costs or be worried about performance as the servers are paid for and are top spec.
What is your Lemmy instance?
