Hello, with the spicy beehaw drama I was wondering, would it be possible to selfhost a lemmy instance literally just for yourself and no one else to like, circumvent any defederation shenanigans? As all instances federate per default, this should work right?
Allthough, as far as my understanding of how federation works is that I would need to manually subscribe to every community on every instance that I’m interested in as federation only syncs communities that have at least one subscriber on the hosting instance, correct?
Or is there a way to subscribe to EVERYTHING?
Other than that is there any obvious downside to doing that?
I think your ALL feed would pick up stuff you have not specifically subscribed to, after you federate with one server, and you could then see new stuff that way.
I /think/, lol, ive not tested.
But it would get a lot of contenet if you federated with the larger sites.
https://lemmyverse.net/ has a big list of servers and communities to find servers to federate with.
