    Plot twist: All of the “bot accounts” were actually a huge influx of Reddit users who were lurking. By removing the accounts / defederating with their instances, we’ve sent them all back to Reddit, ensuring Reddit can pull through the mass exodus.

        Do you have tips/advice for hosting a lemmy instance on a LAN? I’m looking to get acquainted with administering an instance using the docker route on a Proxmox Ubuntu container without much success. I’m hoping to eventually host an instance for the West African community
