My main concerns is illegal content being posted, shared. Any advice?

I am probably not going to do it due to this, so don't spend too much time replying 😊

Can I ask why you bother doing that? What is the point?

[–] ugjka@lemmy.ugjka.net 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

erm, to interact with the fediverse? and to have a place on my website for people to see what I'm up to?

Is it a docker based solution? If yes, can you please let me know if you faced any specific challenge in setting it up?

[–] ugjka@lemmy.ugjka.net 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The default docker compose file from the tutorial on Lemmy's website tries to set up the whole thing with Postgresql 18 image but I got some error with that, i fixed it by using Postgresql 16 image. I forgot what the error message was, but there were people on GitHub complaining about the same errors but one of the devs kept closing them as "support" issue and told everyone to solve it on forums or matrix but people where clueless the as well when i googled around.

Thanks for the info.

But you can just sign up to anywhere on the fediverse, you don’t need to host your own server. What benefits do you get for hosting your own server with only you as a user?
