Is it fairly cheap to host your own personal, single-user Lemmy instance?

    Alternative question– I use Zola and Github Pages to host my website. Does ActivityPub have support for blogging? Like let's say people on Lemmy or Mastodon could subscribe to my blog through ActivityPub?

    From what I can tell Zola does not have anything like this (tried searching GH issues), but I just want to know if it's technically feasible. I can write Rust, so I could have a crack at it myself if it's not too cost/effort prohibitive.

  • Let's say I decided that instead of blogging, I wanted to host my own Lemmy instance that contained a maximum of one (1) user– me, but allowing other users to subscribe. To show what I'm talking about, look at how [kaidomac](https://old.reddit.com/r/kaidomac/) uses Reddit as his own personal microblog, which people subscribe to. What is the cheapest way to do this? My mental model of Lemmy is that if I were to do this, the instance would still be caching information from other instances. This would– at least in my mine– add up in costs. I'm a software engineer, so feel free to use technical jargon.

    Hopefully this doesn’t break the rules. But where can I find some educational podcasts that aren’t overly capitalist, reactionary, rationalist, or otherwise right-leaning or authoritarian in nature.

    I want to specifically avoid content like Lex Friedman, Huberman, Joe Rogan, Sam Harris. That sounds good on the surface but goes down a rabbit hole of affirming reactionary bias.

    I’m not amazing with words, so I hope what I’m saying makes sense. Thanks.

    I can't upload any kind of image to Lemmy. Regardless of device I use, iPhone/Voyager or Mac/Firefox, I get this HTTP 403 error. The issue persists regardless of which wireless network I am connected to. This is obviously a false positive. Is there someone I can talk to about unblocking me?
