Hey guys,

Do you think it makes sense to create a service which allows users to spawn and host their own instances of Lemmy?

I understand that Lemmy is about distributed communities and Fediverse, but I am also thinking that we could increase adoption if we allow non tech-savvy communities to join in.

What are your thoughts?

Could you elaborate on domain handling?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

the hostname+domain to use for the instance. would require registration (if not a using an already registered subdomain) and associated certificates. impossible to change once you start federating... like a house street address.
