Just try not to get ddosed ok m8?
Yeah, I definitely have a lot to learn in terms of self-hosting self-defense.
What are you running for your firewall? I've been curious about self hosting a Lemmy instance (currently have a few services like Plex, Minecraft, pihole, etc) but do worry about security

Hello from my personal instance, and welcome!
This sounds like a fun project to be honest. Are there any risks involved by getting bad content through federation that’s out of your control?
Just a week or so ago I read an article about a guy running a tor exit node personally and being held responsible for the traffic
If you block porn-related instances suchas lemmynsfw and pornlemmy, you'll drastically reduce your chance of getting CSAM contents on your instance. Not saying those instances promotes that kind of stuff, but many dubious instances (the ones with kiddie/doll banners) federate with them, and might post bad stuff when the mods aren't looking.
If you're still super worried about it, you can host your instance behind cloudflare and enable their CSAM scanning tool.

Is e-mail working properly for you?
Yes. I have a residential connection with a dynamic IP, so the trick for me was to use an SMTP relay with a trustworthy provider. That said, I don't really use it.
i did the same thing using fastmail but the emails either come not at all or super delayed, would you mind sharing your provider?

Welcome to the club.
Hello 😎
Great work!
Nice work :)
You did it! Hello, and welcome to the club. Lemmy has been my first foray into hosting a site on a VPS and it's been quite the rabbit-hole; for the better of course. I hope you have fun.

Why does Kirk climb a mountain?
Because it's there!
For fun, mostly.
