I heard once that the case for which instance (for any federated app, be it Lemmy or Mastodon etc) on which to sign up is to choose based on "administration" not subject. That is to say, it is better to experience the fediverse through moderation and other administrative decisions than it is to do so on a server that is "subject based." Thoughts?
How hard was it to set up an instance? I’m fairly decent with these things, and could spool up an shared server, but have never used Docker if that’s the best way.
