Generally, if in the same country you’d have to comply. As another example though: If your server was in Canada, and some department in Alabama wanted your data, you could tell them to pound sand. Though they may put some sort of warrant out for you for failure to comply (doesn’t matter though if you never go there)

If you haven’t figured it out yet or got a response yet, hop onto the instance admin group on matrix for Lemmy (details are on the GitHub or join Lemmy page somewhere I believe) and one of the many other folks running instances can probably walk you through it

Pretty great on the web browser front-end to be honest - haven’t had an issue when I have used it on my phone. Not sure about the app side of things since I’ve been trying to limit my doom scrolling to when I’m at a computer

Fired up a FreshRSS instance for myself when the reddit API notifications came about. Reminds me of my Google Reader days - quite happy with it thus far. Any of the decent quality news sites seem to have an RSS option, at least in my experience so far.

Nope - rust only for the backend. Node runs the frontend. Could definitely use a bot library in golang - it’s the language I program in daily so I’d definitely appreciate it

Yeah - this was a tad annoying at work today. Thank god for terraform if outages had become more severe

Same. I know it’s more work than caddy etc, but I’ve been doing it for eons now so it’s muscle memory at this point.

Running one on a 6$/month droplet. The TLDR is you’ll definitely need a swapfile for spikes, but for a single user it’ll probably work, though be a little slow to load communities for the first time. Mine is subbed to a huge amount of communities and so far the disk usage is nothing serious
