I am interested of self-hosting my own instance but one the issue I have is:

  • Price for renting server and buying domain name. Mainly, I have low income.
  • Unsure if it be single-user instance or if I want multiple people on my instance.
  • If my instance is for multiple users, if I be the best fit for moderation as well, pitching it to non Fedizen (whatever you call people that use the Fediverse) as well as the theme of the instance as it would effect my Fedi software of choice (eg. Friendica, Mastodon/Glitch)

I just worried that I try just do it immediately without planning things out or have whatever things in mind which might otherwise help me know what’s the best choice and not be upset that I wasted my time and money on something that didn’t work out for me.

    We dont proxy on lemmy.ca yet, but I assumed thumbnails would still be stored in pictrs like usual? I thought it was just the actual image links that got proxied, and thumbnails were still dumped in like usual.

    We turned on cloudflare’s CSAM scanner and remove anything it flags for us.

      They are but there’s an environment vatiable to set how long it stays in cache. Cloudflare actually just ended their csam auto submission, at least the auto reporting. Does it still at least flag it?

        Yeah it emails us and pops up a thing in the ui where we can mark it as resolved

          oh that’s good to hear, I’ve never had anything pop up on mine, I’m sorry something has for yours. While I have you, do you have a script or anything you use for removing the flagged item?
