Fellow self-hosters of Lemmy, what is your domain name?
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.
Hello from onlylans.io
biglemmowski.win/
Just two dudes here haha
My instance has 2 users. The domain name is endlesstalk.org
I host it on a k3s cluster with 2 nodes.
I run lemmyverse.org.
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
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)
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.
jemmy.jeena.net is a subdomain because under the main domain is my own website.
I created dis.ney.ink to try to be the Lemmy version of the Disney subreddits (such as r/dvcmember and r/waltdisneyworld) ... so far there's 3 users and ~9 subscribers
fl0w.cc- single user; the domain is meant to be part of my username :)
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.
Hello. I run coeus.sbs
It hasn't been running long and it will evolve over time. I have a community called !green@coeus.sbs for posting images of green things.
Started like 20 minutes ago, currently kinda getting created.
New instance less than 20 people ATM. If you can't see it from the username it is Kerala.party
My instance has a couple users currently lol
rlyeh.icu
Hi
I have no.lastname.nz 31 'users' but 20 are bots that have been banned
https://lemmy.socdojo.com because I'm not creative with names and just tacked it onto everything else on my lab/domain. The 'socdojo' part came from my first IT job where the T2/SOC referred to their little cave as the 'socdojo' aka a training ground for the soc newbs.
Self-hosting lemmy.blue!
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 was surprised nobody'd thoughr of this domain before. feditown.com
I'm the only one here.
https://forum.stellarcastle.net on kubernetes (microk8s)
I started a habit a while back ago of naming any servers I run based off of names from Greek mythology - my primary server is Zeus but most forms of just "Zeus" in domain form are already taken. Similarly, I call the quasi-internal network that this server runs (since it's a hypervisor) "ZeusNet"...
Problem with that name is "ZeusNet.net" is redundant and would irk me, I wanted something that still ends with the .net TLD (though my personal domain ends with .network).
This, zeuslink.net is what I came up with given that "link" can mean "network" and the combination isn't as redundant as "...net.net"!
Funnily enough, originally my instance was originally under the
colonysubdomain which I quite liked... But unfortunately I didn't set things up properly due to how I have everything else setup, and I had already dipped just enough in the federation that when I reset everything so that it actually worked properly, the keys that my server identified with no longer matched which broke my ability to federate properly. Which then forced me to reset everything again under a completely different subdomain (I'm glad it was on a subdomain instead of the root domain for that reason) since Lemmy doesn't have a "self destruct" option like Mastodon has (which tells all connected instances "Hey, I'm going down - forget you knew me" as far as I understand it).And that is the origin story of my domain, along with the subdomain. Thinking about it now, I should copy all of this as a standalone post on my instance 😅
Hey, I do not think that this is off topic at all. My instance is matejc.com
This comment is posted through my personal private instance :)
lemmy.funkyfish.cool Because I already had Calckey running on that domain
Hosting mine at hyperfair.link. Initially thought about using a domain I already had, but realized it had my name in it so registered a new one with a random name I came up with so I don’t doxx myself. Picked the .link tld because it somewhat fit with the Lemmy idea and it was cheap on AWS (where I already have other domains and what not).
Mine is Lemmy.quad442.com which is a car that me and my dad are big about
IPv6 only
Closed registration while I fix some stuff, which might be a while. So I've only got 2 human users or so.
Last I checked mine is the only instance in Vietnam, but that might not be true anymore.
It's a bit longer than most but I do run a few other things under mildgrim.com but maybe I should've gone with like l.mildgrim.com instead to keep it shorter.
But a good self-explanatory URL is always a boon.
Orcas Enjoying Yachts admin checking in!
It says I have 6 users but 2 of those accounts are test users I created when I was getting everything setup. My friend and I are on there and that’s really it.
Edit: somehow I have 20 users now which is kind of neat. Just not sure how many are valid since I had open registrations for a while (it’s still open to users but with verification and captcha enabled).
https://pricefield.org for me. i've seen the move to lemmy, thought for half a second about my favorite fandom, and knew it had to happen.
it's been a rougher ride than i expected but it's hella exciting
Howdy! Just me over here… 👍
https://ani.social because anime.
https://ramram.ink but I only use subdomains, I've not hooked anything to the domain itself.
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.
Got a couple more users than that. social.fossware.space
I host my public stuff like lemmy at inu.is. Mostly because I wanted something short and cute, and .is got a lot of nice short domains up for grabs.
it's intended to be a highly reliable little instance. For now it's closed, though, until I figured out how to properly handle pictrs' internal state.
