Is there any benefit to host my own instance?

    Running my own instance using AWS’s free tier for now, though I think I’ll keep it after. It makes scaling soo easy and simple if my instance ever takes off. Which I don’t know if it ever will lol. The reason why I even created one is to actually use my domain name for something rather than keep paying for a domain that I’ll never use for anything.

      Which of the free AWS ones did you choose. I just had a look and there are lots of different ones which is best for lemmy?

        I’m using a t2.micro instance which I think is best for a small instance like mine, but I think there are other options you can look into with different RAM and CPU.
