I’m an engineer with history in reverse-engineering, logic-level troubleshooting and design, software, and whatever else.
I think of myself of more as an agroecologist/farmer type guy though no matter what the paychecks say on them
If it’s ever something you want to try, it’s one of the easier servers to self host and there’s a lot of helpful resources out there. There really isn’t any coding involved outside of editing a few configuration files unless you want there to be.
This is one reason that I think many people should consider running their own single-user instance or tiny instances for close friends/family.
One of the problems with centralization is literally the fact that this can happen. The more small servers the fedi is comprised of, the stronger it is. There are also a huge number of benefits to this configuration on an individual level as well.
EDIT: Re: importing/exporting your old account is, unfortunately, a thing that cannot be done currently. I’m happy to be corrected on that, though.
Lol I used a script to overwrite my 13 years of fairly active redditing with a join-lemmy.org link
I’m having the same experience on Lemmy that I had on reddit 13 years ago. It’s fucking awesome
You can mourn the loss of the tolerant left as you fuck all the way off, bigot.
