Hosting an instance just for yourself?

Hello, with the spicy beehaw drama I was wondering, would it be possible to selfhost a lemmy instance literally just for yourseelf and no one else to like, circumvent any defederation shenanigans? As all instances federate per default, this should work right?...

I've been thinking the same. Going to look up some guides later on to see how much of a hassle it would be.

I think when I looked at doing it with Mastodon, the juice wasn't worth the squeeze for a single user (this was months ago so might be different now) but Lemmy might be better suited.

That's what I like about kbin, it does both. When it's a bit further along in development, I'll probably look into hosting my own instance of it.
