better than sex, which is the reason why lemmy mods don't copulate

Like any other account you occasionally need to update software and settings for. Then again I'm guessing you meant someone running an instance with more than just themselves using it.

My poor server is on fire since installing Lemmy (just for myself). I hope Lemmy 1.0 can mitigate that a bit.

If I had the energy I would work on a script to migrate Lemmy data to Piefed because it's supposedly much lighter.

Piefed sounds awesome. Producing a fraction of the load with a less complicated server is awesome.

Pride and accomplishment of providing a service not beholden to advertising.

I imagine it's pretty fun. You get all the glory of a Reddit mod without any real oversight from anyone. The moment someone says something you don't like BAM they are banned to the hinderlands
