I’d like to contribute to the Lemmy community. I’ve been running my own private Linux servers for more than 25 years for things like email (years ago before all the spam), and as file servers, backup, etc. It’s an old, not very powerful computer, running Ubuntu server, in a corner in my house. Is it worth running a Lemmy instance on such a machine? I suppose there’d also be issues of how much data is going in and out, and how that works impact my internet cable usage. Thoughts?
I think if you want to bring value, start contributing in the tech support communities also. Lots of technical questions, specially about email and hosting Lemmy in ways that are more complicated than having it’s own host.
Your skills would be very valuable there. :)
