I ask generally out of curiosity. I was just thinking that as big social media fractures, old school isolated forums might become "cool again", and that one of the achievements of lemmy might be as a nice platform for simply running a forum for whatever community you want all without needing to worry about federation.

If it turns out that work of federating data is a substantial part of the resource overhead, and that an isolated server would actually be quite efficient, that'd be quite a nice feather in the lemmy cap I'd say. Hexbear seems to have been using lemmy this way for a while and it seems to have been successful too.

Oh you went for the ARM CPU? I was looking at it but then I thought that there is no ARM docker container for lemmy, was I wrong?

The Lemmy Easy Deploy script available at GitHub supports Arm64 in theory. In practice, some required binary refused to run on my Pi 4 so I think it's still a WIP.

So how are you making it work?

[-] oleorun@lemmy.fan 1 points 1 year ago

I am running it in a VM now, using Linux and Docker.

I meant if you're building the ARM version yourself or where are you getting it from?
