I’ve set up a domain and am about to install lemmy to run my own instance. Is it appropriate to promote that anywhere here when it’s complete? (beehaw.org)

I love the growth and population, but I really want to help foster the decentralization of this platform, since that’s (to me) the best part of the fediverse.

I'm with /u/[email protected] and /u/[email protected] here.

Spinning up an instance for yourself and maybe a few friends? Yeah, that's no sweat.

Be ready to be a full-fledged admin if you open it up to everyone. If you're cool with that, awesome. To increase the chances that it'll be interesting to people, you should give it a description & name to attract the kinds of people you're more likely to vibe with. Just took a quick look at your post history and saw scifi and creative posts, maybe lean into that. Or whatever you're into.

Popheads is a great example of a "themed" instance. We need more of those and less "Leddit 2.0" instances, imho.
