Hey folks, the title says it all... I am on the brink to open my own Lemmy instance and I'm looking for a name. I already own the following unused domains:

-lemmy.pw -voom.social -zeebo.social

Maybe you can even suggest a completely different name? The instance will be a general one.

Thanks!

Ah nice. I have an Unraid server but thus far have all the apps and shit I run accessible via LAN/VPN only. I have pfsense and know how to mess with haproxy a little to reverse proxy things through, but I’m not sure how secure that is or if that opens the attack surface up drastically, so I haven’t really dabbled in allowing external access to my server. Might look into it.

Yeah I use the free plan of cloud flare to make the things I need accessible away from home

That the secure tunnel thing I keep hearing about?

Do you use that for lemmy as well, as in your instance is private?

It’s more than that. My instance is public. Though not currently running. Cloudflare lets you open your private network to the public without exposing your IP or opening ports.

Thanks, I’ll have to educate myself on it. Appreciate your time.
