Hello! I recently set up a small instance running on pleroma which was my first time setting up something like that. I'm currently thinking about abandoning it, wiping the computer, and doing everything over again, this time with all of the knowledge I have now so Ill mess less things up, a dramatically better site name, as well as picking wayyyy better(IMO) instance host software thingamajig(Currently thinking misskey or akkoma if I do this) to connect to the fediverse with. Would you guys say it's worth it?

If you're also willing to answer a second question I had: If you were setting up a new fediverse instance, what would you run it on(E.g calckey, misskey, bonfire mastodon)?

Some extra info: The instance is a day old and i've done like nothing on it, it's also a sub domain I currently dont really care about.

Just to put this out there, I made a script that greatly simplifies getting started for new users:

https://github.com/ubergeek77/Lemmy-Easy-Deploy

I don't have a way to import existing data into this, but I'll add that feature soon™

If you wanted to run Lemmy on your own server, consider giving this a try!

Just a tip, you should change the default pict-rs logging to "warn", the pre-set default logs wayyy too much and causes really noticeable bloat on smaller instances :D

Thank you! I'll look into reducing the log spam.
