Fellow self-hosters of Lemmy, what is your domain name?
I hope this post is not too off topic. I thought that it would be nice to see the address of all the small self-hosted instances of Lemmy (1~5 users).

I stood up an instance on linode for myself and a couple friends.
We’re lolimbeer.com !
Which is based on an old meme that I still find hilarious.
But, then I got a registration application that was excited about “lolis & beer”.
I still like the domain and I’ve had it sitting around for a minute, but i never really thought about it or read it that way before.
Also on kubernetes, hopefully this message works. First time testing from my self-hosted instance.
My instance has 2 users. The domain name is endlesstalk.org
I host it on a k3s cluster with 2 nodes.
K8s is just a huge abstraction over your clusters, the real question is if the software/containers support HA.
I’ve been meaning to test it for a while now, but have just been running VMs/Docker. Will check it out.
You can definitely have high availibillity without kubernetes, but its easier(For me atleast) with kubernetes.
For container orchestration, which is mostly what k8s provides, then you could use docker swarm or nomad. You could use docker-compose with multiple replicas of the wanted container + a load balancer to divide the load.
In general I don't think k8s/k3s is needed for hosting lemmy yet, but since I have a setup for k3s, it is easier for me to use it.
how do you handle the sled state for pictrs with 2 nodes? I've been having some trouble with it.
I have only 1 container of pictrs running(with no scaling) and are using longhorn for storage, so if the pictrs container switches node, then longhorn handles it for me.
I see, thanks. What volume(s) are you persisting that way exactly? I mean the internal path that pictrs is using.
The internal path, I'm persisting is /mnt
, but I also use an older version of pictrs(0.3.1). Think the newer version uses a different path.
I also needed to add the following for the pictrs container to work correctly.
securityContext:
runAsUser: 991
runAsGroup: 991
fsGroup: 991
lemmy.nrd.li
- The domain is pronounced Nerd-ly. I welcome anyone that considers themself a nerd and anything someone feels like being nerdy about.
I also have like 20+ others domains... Most of which are unused... I may have a problem.
https://leddit.danmark.party, because it's running a bot named Leddit that pulls content from Reddit. And, uh, Denmark Party, because I love Denmark and I thought it would be really funny to own a domain named this. I also wanted to split my serious and silly projects into different domains, so I bought this extra domain and use it for all of my silly projects now.
(Not posting directly from that instance so I can leave the bot in peace, but federation definitely works because posts from it are getting through to other instances)
https://lemmings.basic-domain.com (basic-domain.com since I already had it) lemmings because I loved that game, and it had a "lemmy" touch to it
I started with fbxl.net, the domain I've owned forever. It started with social.fbxl.net, then video.fbxl.net, then lotide.fbxl.net, and now lemmy.fbxl.net. I've also got a matrix home server and a nostr relay.
If there's a piece of advice I can give you, it's to plan to self host more than just one thing. Once you have one thing, you're going to find out it's kind of addictive having your own thing to go to and you might want to host other things. Subdomains are a nice way to give you that chance.
Three users @borg.chat I was hoping to get established sooner but 0.17 gave me endless trouble that I was never able to resolve.
I tried installing an instance on Docker a few months ago, and it didn't work. Last month version was far easier to install imo
I have a few but my main one is https://nick.geek.nz followed by https://nickwebster.dev which currently just had a redirect, some email stuff, and this Lemmy instance.
I don't host lemmy (yet) but my domain is zyphr.xyz, I wanted zephry.xyz but it was taken.
Wish I had looked at other options before choosing to be honest.
Mine, though it says 202 users, is only actually 2, me and a test account, cause it got botted due to me leaving open registration. Luckily found out about 10 seconds after it started, but still, annoying. Though yea, just myself on here for now. :D
you might wanna clean up your database there. at least purge anyone from the local_user
table who doesn't belong there so that they can't log in. if you also remove all the relevant entries from person
it will fix the displayed user count as well.
Hey, it’s been a while, but just wanted to say that following this fixed my instance, and numbers are now normal again. Thanks! 💛
