This is great!
Yeah, that's exactly it. It's an open source alternative to Instagram based on ActivityPub, like Mastodon and Lemmy. In terms of functionality I think it's better than Instagram. There are no ads or sinister algorithms; I can select and copy text; I can easily reshare posts I like; and I can include working hyperlinks in my posts and replies.
The main benefits to running your own instance are that you don't have to rely on anyone else to keep the site running and you can decide for yourself about federating or not with other instances. For me it's also just a fun little DIY project to set up and maintain my own server.
An emperor?
Uh huh, and how many of those "victims of communism" were actually some of the worst people in the world at the time, like Czarists and Nazis? Sorry your grandfather is bitter that he didn't get the dacha he wanted or whatever.
It would be nice if there was some kind of open Internet code of conduct that could be pointed to as a reason for defederating, which journalists could reference in their coverage.
Oh I mean IRL I would probably react harshly to my wife breaking that boundary, but the worst case scenario is that she does it with someone who's got terrible vibes and just cannot hang.
Hi dad, I'm dad, u/engineer on Reddit. Last night my 4 year old daughter called me a "porcine wonder". She learned that from a book.
r/woodworking would be nice.
Is running your own Lemmy instance as difficult as an email server?

That's a good question, Rotting Cum. The only crimes I'm planning on right now are saving some money doing diy maintenance on the family car while finding an interesting little project for myself.
