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?...

Just curious, which beehaw drama?

Edit: ah, scrolled down a bit and found this, assume that's it.

Beehaw is defederating from sh.itjustwor.ks and Lemmy.world.Personally I think it's silly to be upset over it considering defederation is one of the selling points of Lemmy.

Beehaw is just going for a more curated experience which I think is completely fine. I'm sure once they have more moderators they'll consider refederating anyway.

That's the stated plan, wait a bit until things settle

Sounded like they may reevaluate once they have more mods
