Promotion of other Lemmy instances (beehaw.org)

Hi beehaw admins! Thanks for this platform you’ve given us all. I’m wondering what your stance is on promotion of other Lemmy instances here?

In the interest of decentralisation and keeping the community robust, I’m considering standing up my own instance of Lemmy. I’m fortunate enough to have plenty of equipment at my disposal to run it and the know-how to make it resilient and scalable (not quite big social network tier, but I don’t want it to be that anyway).

I just wanted to ask here first before I go shamelessly self-plugging around the place.

Feel free to ask questions if you’re curious or your answer is “it depends”. Thanks!

I think making comments when people are looking for a place is entirely fine, I think making posts to point people to other communities is a bit annoying... I'm not sure honestly.
