I was a long time reddit user, and made a couple new accounts as throwaways last year from different emails but they kept getting shadowbanned everytime I tried to post, comment or send a message. Just last night, my 3 year old account I had no issues using it at all got shadowbanned as soon as I sent a message. It’s just so frustrating how hard reddit is moderated and there’s no explanations given either they just shadowban you and I don’t even know where to ask anyone either I installed Lemmy, hoping it’ll be a good alternative and it is great and a lot of things I like about reddit, but there’s a significant lack of the type of communities that I browsed in reddit. Hopefully I’ll find them here or more people will join and it’ll be better. So what made you install Lemmy and what did you wish Lemmy had?
It’s a similar software as Lemmy and MBin, but it is written in python: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi
It’s compatible with the Threadyverse, therefore you can read what I’m writing.
I read through it but am confused by why someone would care to have a small host just for python?
I hosted one Lemmy instance but it is optimized to run thousands of users, I an only one user so the overhead was a lot. As much in fact that it constantly used all the resources on my server so that the other services I run on it stopped working.
PieFed uses much less resources when running as a single user instance like mine. This is why I chose to switch. And now it runs fine on my small server together with all the other services.
That’s a great reason. Did you find it easier to setup?
Oh god yes, much much easier and without the need of docker and things.
thank you!
