I ran mine for a bit and it’s a resource hog, fragile, and images are a constant problem because the cache just keeps growing and growing so either you keep a limited timeframe of user images or you pay for storage elsewhere.
I was the only user so I didn’t have to deal with moderation, but what finally spooked me was the possibility of someone posting something illegal and it propagating over to my server. That was why I stopped hosting my Lemmy server, too.
Can you just turn that off, and make people directly link to the external media?
I run Mastodon in single user mode (only myself) and lemmy with registrations disabled. Also don't use image proxy-ing with pictrs on lemmy if u concerned about illegal images
Can I ask why you bother doing that? What is the point?
erm, to interact with the fediverse? and to have a place on my website for people to see what I'm up to?
