The Electronic Frontier Foundation wrote a pretty good blog post on the legality of the Fediverse, around the time Mastodon was getting popular. It probably applies to Lemmy too. It’s worth a read to familiarize yourself of what kind of legal things you’ll be getting yourself into. You’re on the right track; you can control you and your friends’ content, but you can’t control remote content that gets pushed to your server and that’s the part to worry the most.

One thing that stood out is to register yourself as a DMCA agent. It costs $6 or something. Having an agent on record gives instance admins certain protection.
This is awesome info. There should be a place to document all the nuance around hosting an instance plus some tips and tricks.
The Wiki: https://joinfediverse.wiki/What_is_Lemmy%3F
Hopefully it gets new contributors and maintainers from all the new users.
Yikes, I didn't even know there was a wiki. Thank you!
This is great info, thank you!
Awesome, thanks 🤘
Thank ye,
I wonder how much of an impact being in the EU will have on that.
