I've been looking for the communities I'm missing from that other site, and /sandiego is one of them. It seems that for now there are very few geographic location related communities. It's nice to have for people to ask all kinds of questions, from new comers to looking for types of restaurants to mentions of festivals...

Excellent article on a hunter of fireflies. I miss the fireflies from the summers of my youth back in Indiana.

Lemmy Instance on Small Private Server? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Excellent post, thanks. It looks like one of the bigger issues is with images, since they're significantly larger than text. I wonder if it's possible to disable image uploads, and just require links.

Maybe I'd limit the number of people to around five to see what the usage was like. It's sounding like a fun weekend project now.

It did cross my mind if I could have one of my raspberry pis run it. Actually, if it is possible I'd do on an Odroid N2+. Hmm...

I'd like to contribute to the Lemmy community. I've been running my own private Linux servers for more than 25 years for things like email (years ago before all the spam), and as file servers, backup, etc. It's an old, not very powerful computer, running Ubuntu server, in a corner in my house. Is it worth running a Lemmy instance on such a machine? I suppose there'd also be issues of how much data is going in and out, and how that would impact my internet cable usage. Thoughts?

What are you guys doing when there's multiple communities for the same thing across instances? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
