But seriously…
After spending all week installing Lemmy and trying to make it happy, I was losing my mind. I’ve finally got everything but pics working. I plan on troubleshooting it this weekend.
I’m being sarcastic, kind of. I wasn’t sure if I was going to stay a Lemmy fan amidst the painful set up - even with Docker compose and following all of the instructions, I was struggling to self-host it.
I am still a Lemmy fan and I understand you I should do less complaining and more contributing, so I am going to write up my experience getting it running once I get the pictrs stuff working.
What did you install it on and with instructions did you use? I installed it on my Synology NAS, which took about 30 minutes using this guide. I was honestly impressed with how easy it was to install.

Funny that you say that: my first problem was of my own making - I was using arm64 hardware and Lemmy doesn’t quite support that architecture yet, so I ended up getting a Synology myself this week. It’s awaiting disks and then I plan on moving Lemmy to that box.
Thanks for sharing that site - I’ll make good use of it once the drives get here.
I love my Synology NAS. It’s the DS920+. I’ve had it for a couple years. I upgraded the memory to 8 GB and use Portainer for a docket UI. I have 24 containers running on my NAS now, including sab, radarr, sonarr, deluge, joplin, piped/hyperpipe, youtubedl, jellyfin, pihole, and lemmy. 8gb of memory and about 45% used. Plex also runs as a native DSM package.
I’ve got the DS923+. It’s replacing a very old but very functional QNAP that I’ve had for years. Alas, QTS or whatever the OS is called is slow and clunky and after using our DS920+ at work I made the decision to get a Synology.
The dev of Lemmy Easy Deploy has ARM64 builds.
This lemmy.world/post/1978767 was just posted a couple hours ago. It doesn’t seem to cover what you’re having trouble with, but it might be a good place to put what you’ve learned if they’re open to contributions.
Admin.Social - Fediverse Admin Guides - Lemmy.world
Meow, meow, Few days ago I started working on a simple Wiki where I want to ‘collect’ all documentation on setting up Fediverse services and everything around it in one place. Still adding new stuff on a daily basis. Hopefully it will be helpful to someone
Thanks boss, I’ll check that out. Appreciate you sharing.
I had trouble self hosting as well. Actually it was federation after the initial set up which was the problem. I gave up for now tho.
shnizmuffinBasically any 2-letter TLD should be avoided unless you live in that country.
If you want to be clever, use subdomains and pick one of the new TLDs. For instance, ban.anal.ink, is like $5.
You could also choose a 5-10 digit .xyz domain, those cost $0.85
Except for the only one I’d want:
abc.defghijklmnopqrstuvw.xyz
Can’t you do abcd.efghijklmnopqrstuvw.xyz?
Sure, but not symetric
How about zyx.wvutsrqponmlkjihgf.edcba.abcde.fghijklmnopqrstuvw.xyz
Very catchy
Don’t be too sad, it wouldn’t work well with reverse-DNS notation anyway. ;)
The first year. Then it’s likely $12/year.
No, everything with the specified format is $0.99.

Banana link or ban anal ink?
As the admin of lemmy.inbutts.lol I would have thought my position on that subject would be clear.
rigattiI can see why anal ink could be controversial.
EhListBanal link
𝜏auI suppose free ones, new generic TLDs that aren’t owned by some trustworthy company or organization that will probably continue to exist for the forseeable future, and country code TLDs from countries without stable governments or a reputable institution managing the TLD.
comedy.biz always seemed but sketchy. Would probably also avoid.nk
The TLD for the DPRK is .kp, not .nk
CoelacanthA big one is the .nu domain, which is extremely popular in Sweden (since “nu” means “now” in Swedish).
It’s currently controlled by the same large non-profit that controls .se (Internet Foundation in Sweden, IIS), but Niue has been wanting control of it for decades. It’s a complicated issue since .nu addresses have become incredibly important to Swedish Internet infrastructure.
Litigation was launched in 2020 but I’m not aware of any news since then.
Who is Niue?
Niue is a small Polynesian island north-east of New Zeeland. It’s who the domain was originally assigned to.
since “nu” means “now” in Swedish
Same for Dutch
On an unrelated note, who is sitting on lemmy.games? We need a gaming dedicated instance. I got lemmygames.net but lemmy.games would make me happy.
Personally I would prefer if we didn’t use “Lemmy” for everything. I really like programming.dev as a software development based instances. Also makes it less confusing if an instance decides to change to kbin or a future compatible server.
Some TLDs that aren’t country codes but also aren’t very useful or popular will sometimes be blanket blocked by institutions, on the theory that there’s so many more garbage malware C&Cs or whatever than actual useful sites that it makes sense to ban the whole thing. So you might not want to go with
.bingo or .rest or anything with no perceivable use.
JshKlsnLike zip or mov. Don’t buy those. Any smart person and corporation already has those blanket banned.
Can I interest you in my new Lemmy instance, blanket-banned.zip?
Sure! What’s the name? Your comment cut off after “instance”.
Aww shit try this one:
decadentrebelgerbiling?
The Giant KoreanGostse was hosted on this domain.
Die4EverIf you’re hosting an instance on a risky TLD and you wanna migrate, probably best to close signups now and disallow any new communities from being created on there
