With the loss of lemmy.fmhy.ml I decided I would add a Lemmy instance to my virtual server rack. This is a test send as much as anything.
First thoughts… The documentation and the example configs could possibly be a bit clearer. Not sure how I would reword them though. Also, there has got to be a better way for a smaller instance to begin seeing communities than browsing lemmyverse.net and then manually searching for the communities from your new instance.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !selfhosted@lemmy.world
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.
Rules:
Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

Whoops! I did the title as a joke. I wonder what I goofed that caused it to become a link.
Simply my client assumed that’s an URL because it ended with a valid TLD
