Hello! I did the same thing, and this is my first post on my instance!
I just put it on an old computer with 8GB of RAM, a HDD, and an old i5. Its running great so far.
One disapointment for me is viewing "all". Since im the only one on my instance, the only communities I see are the ones im subscribed to. Let me know if you find a way around this please!
I've heard instances are using some sort of bot to "discover" communities
GitHub Link for one of those bots, which mentions in the README that there are similar bots here and here
Indeed. !test@mylemmy.win is my community for, well, testing. It has 63 subscribers. One is me, the rest are bots that managed to find the community.
I was using this for getting content to my instance: https://github.com/lflare/lemmy-subscriber-bot
I used this bot to populate lemmy.fan - it works well, runs within a container/portainer stack, and the logs show everything when it runs.
This is awesome! Can't wait to give it a try, thank you!
