I hope this post is not too off topic. I thought that it would be nice to see the address of all the small self-hosted instances of Lemmy (1~5 users).

    I stood up an instance on linode for myself and a couple friends.

    We’re lolimbeer.com !

    Which is based on an old meme that I still find hilarious.

    But, then I got a registration application that was excited about “lolis & beer”.

    I still like the domain and I’ve had it sitting around for a minute, but i never really thought about it or read it that way before.

    https://leddit.danmark.party, because it’s running a bot named Leddit that pulls content from Reddit. And, uh, Denmark Party, because I love Denmark and I thought it would be really funny to own a domain named this. I also wanted to split my serious and silly projects into different domains, so I bought this extra domain and use it for all of my silly projects now.

    (Not posting directly from that instance so I can leave the bot in peace, but federation definitely works because posts from it are getting through to other instances)

    I created dis.ney.ink to try to be the Lemmy version of the Disney subreddits (such as r/dvcmember and r/waltdisneyworld) … so far there’s 3 users and ~9 subscribers

    lemmy.nrd.li - The domain is pronounced Nerd-ly. I welcome anyone that considers themself a nerd and any community someone feels like being nerdy about.

    I also have like 20+ others domains… Most of which are unused… I may have a problem.

      Is there a way to host with high availability? Or is that a kubernetes feature?

        K8s is just a huge abstraction over your clusters, the real question is if the software/containers support HA.

          I’ve been meaning to test it for a while now, but have just been running VMs/Docker. Will check it out.

        You can definitely have high availibillity without kubernetes, but its easier(For me atleast) with kubernetes.

    Orcas Enjoying Yachts admin checking in!

    It says I have 6 users but 2 of those accounts are test users I created when I was getting everything setup. My friend and I are on there and that’s really it.

    Edit: somehow I have 20 users now which is kind of neat. Just not sure how many are valid since I had open registrations for a while (it’s still open to users but with verification and captcha enabled).

    https://outpost.zeuslink.net

    I started a habit a while back ago of naming any servers I run based off of names from Greek mythology - my primary server is Zeus but most forms of just “Zeus” in domain form are already taken. Similarly, I call the quasi-internal network that this server runs (since it’s a hypervisor) “ZeusNet”…

    Problem with that name is “ZeusNet.net” is redundant and would irk me, I wanted something that still ends with the .net TLD (though my personal domain ends with .network).

    This, zeuslink.net is what I came up with given that “link” can mean “network” and the combination isn’t as redundant as “…net.net”!

    Funnily enough, originally my instance was originally under the colony subdomain which I quite liked… But unfortunately I didn’t set things up properly due to how I have everything else setup, and I had already dipped just enough in the federation that when I reset everything so that it actually worked properly, the keys that my server identified with no longer matched which broke my ability to federate properly. Which then forced me to reset everything again under a completely different subdomain (I’m glad it was on a subdomain instead of the root domain for that reason) since Lemmy doesn’t have a “self destruct” option like Mastodon has (which tells all connected instances “Hey, I’m going down - forget you knew me” as far as I understand it).

    And that is the origin story of my domain, along with the subdomain. Thinking about it now, I should copy all of this as a standalone post on my instance 😅

    Also on kubernetes, hopefully this message works. First time testing from my self-hosted instance.
