As someone who has done both cloud VPS and local hosting, I agree that local hosting on your own hardware is much more fun. I was going to spin up my own instance of Lemmy but found this one instead!
Since there’s no way to load balance servers the best I can offer right now is an off-site backup location for the database if you were looking for redundancy. But happy to offer any help I can going forward.
It really is amazing what you can do with statistics and a large enough data set. I can’t wait for what this brings the community in a few years!
