Can you host a private lemmy instance, an instance that will not federate with any other instances?

Therefore no one from another instance can post, comment or view posts and communities from your instance. Your instance users cannot post, comment, or view communities on other instances

Yes. There’s a Private Instance checkbox in the Settings.

Yeah it’s an option in the initial setup.

Yes - in the same way that Truth Social (Trump’s platform) is a Mastodon instance that doesn’t federate with anything else

A loosely moderated place to ask open-ended questions

Search asklemmy πŸ”

If your post meets the following criteria, it’s welcome here!

  1. Open-ended question
  2. Not offensive: at this point, we do not have the bandwidth to moderate overtly political discussions. Assume best intent and be excellent to each other.
  3. Not regarding using or support for Lemmy: context, see the list of support communities and tools for finding communities below
  4. Not ad nauseam inducing: please make sure it is a question that would be new to most members
  5. An actual topic of discussion
