Some of the planned blackouts will be temporary, others plan to shut their subreddits down indefinitely in protest.

This would make sense to me - I assume it’s the equivalent of a single user seeing basically everything on a given community once, vs loading it from DB (or at least cache) for every request for each new individual user. Every time I load the front page on my server, it’s just fetching stuff from my own instance, right?
EDIT: Looks like it does load things from other servers, but only images. Everything else comes from my own instance.
I’m considering hosting my own instance. Can you point me to where i can get started? I’m a noob.
You’ll want to start here, but it depends how comfortable you are with self-hosting as to whether it’ll be a walk in the park. I had good luck with it, but I self host a lot of stuff and know what kinds of pitfalls there are. The docs aren’t totally up to par - I might take a look at contributing to improving them - so you may need to do some searching around if you have problems. There’s a Lemmy Support community on lemmy.ml you could check out too.
Right-on, thanks! It helps just to have a little direction—even if imperfect. I usually seek out multiple sources, anyway.
