What made you join Lemmy? (lemm.ee)

I was a long time reddit user, and made a couple new accounts as throwaways last year from different emails but they kept getting shadowbanned everytime I tried to post, comment or send a message. Just last night, my 3 year old account I had no issues using it at all got shadowbanned as soon as I sent a message. It's just so frustrating how hard reddit is moderated and there's no explanations given either they just shadowban you and I don't even know where to ask anyone either I installed Lemmy, hoping it'll be a good alternative and it is great and a lot of things I like about reddit, but there's a significant lack of the type of communities that I browsed in reddit. Hopefully I'll find them here or more people will join and it'll be better. So what made you install Lemmy and what did you wish Lemmy had?

I read through it but am confused by why someone would care to have a small host just for python?

I hosted one Lemmy instance but it is optimized to run thousands of users, I an only one user so the overhead was a lot. As much in fact that it constantly used all the resources on my server so that the other services I run on it stopped working.

PieFed uses much less resources when running as a single user instance like mine. This is why I chose to switch. And now it runs fine on my small server together with all the other services.

That's a great reason. Did you find it easier to setup?

Oh god yes, much much easier and without the need of docker and things.
