I just recently set up unilem.org aimed at federating with everyone. Yes this will include meta. Some will like it and others will not but thats the beauty of the fediverse. You can choose your home or even make your own.

The server is still in very early stages but im looking for everyones input on potential issues I could face so I can start getting ahead of the curve of some of them. Im obviously aware of issues such as bot server and illegal content being fetched etc.

Any other tips on hosting or just is general is will be much appreciated. Mabye you know some tools that could help? Im aware this is very ambitious but i think its possible if done right.

Much thanks in advance for the help.

      So many pornography, so many disgusting stuff that people actually get ptsd from constant exposure.

      And the potential legal troubles. I don’t exactly know how Lemmy’s federation works but if a rogue instance hosted CP/CSAM for the lulz and OP’s instance copied the contents for the freedom…
