I’ve been saying that for a while, start a service where you can pay x€ per month for self-hosting your 1 to 5 users instance, that makes it easy to get it started via a few choices, and I’m sure it would be very popular.
If there are any code-masters out there that want to partner with someone that can lead the vision/sales/UX aspect of it, hit me up.
there are people that do this kinda thing for mastodon (see masto.host as an example), so it’s only a matter of time before lemmy hosters of this nature will pop up.
instances need to be constantly online under the same domain to receive new posts. you can’t really host an instance from your home without some kind of tunnel or ddns setup, and you surely can’t host one from a potentially metered mobile connection.
it depends on the implementation. lemmy does have something similar but it’s not as aggressive as email and in the peak reddit migration times it wasn’t uncommon to have un-federated replies and posts from all the instances being overloaded.
also that queue is stored in memory so if the server dies or gets updated or otherwise restarts it won’t bother with old stuff
wow it’s almost like having a huge chunk of lemmy’s users in one instance is a bad thing. who would’ve thought.
seriously though more people should migrate to smaller instances.
It makes me wonder if and when we’ll see clients that also act as single-user instances.

I’m going to host my own instance and I will be the only user on it. That’s the best option for me at the moment.

Does ActivityPub not have retry with back off like email? Mail will try to be delivered for a few days before the sender gives up.
