That’s what I’ve blocked yeah. Though you can’t really have any confirmation (the “software” and “version” fields will remain blank) because they haven’t even enabled federation yet.

I second this request. Your theme looks great and I’d love to include it in my instance.
I’d say the suggested practice is going with smaller instances (i.e. anything that isn’t lemmy.ml or even worse lemmy.world). But sure, if you want to spin up a custom instance that would be even better. You’d have the advantage of being able to customize your experience a lot more (changing themes, editing the code to fix stuff you don’t like, managing your own emojis…)
I’d say around 10€ a month. My instance pays around that (maybe a little more, can’t remember) and we have over 100 users. It’s really not that expensive.
You become a mega janny. You have to draft server wide rules, appoint mods and make sure they don’t screw up by letting banned content through. Depending on your country’s laws and where your instance is hosted, you might risk hosting illegal stuff for which you as an admin would be liable.
Others have already replied to 4. and 5. so I’m not going to make this wall of text any longer.
I know this is three weeks old but if you still haven’t found a solution this will work.
Fun fact: while not being exactly like what karma was on Reddit, Lemmy does store the total count of upvotes-downvotes your account has received. You probably can’t see it because it isn’t shown by the frontend (the website you see), but the data is indeed there.
Ansible guide. I didn’t follow this one myself but the guy who set up my instance said it was pretty easy

Same, since I updated my instance to 0.18 Jerboa doesn’t work and instantly crashes.
Upvoting this post from Connect for Lemmy. Actually I think I still prefer Jerboa. Unfortunately it has stopped working since I updated my instance to 0.18 so this will have to do for now.
This. Defed is not the magic weapon that will solve all your problems. Captcha and email filters should be on by default though.
Couldn’t the protocol be updated to be more compliant with the right to be forgotten? Something like, when a user deletes a comment it gets deleted from the DB of every federated instance. Sure enough, admins might have made backups and that would theoretically go against the GDPR but still… you can only apply these laws to a certain extent. It’s the same as you posting a picture on Facebook, me downloading it and you deleting it afterwards. Even if you were to make a GDPR request to Meta you still couldn’t get the picture on my PC. But that’s not Meta’s fault, they can’t do much about that.
If I understand correctly the way the protocol works, when you federate to a community you are instructing your instance’s server (in this case sh.itjust.works) to start copying every post and comment that is posted on the target community. This would in turn mean that, if you federate with an NSFW community, the sh.itjust.works admin would start copying NSFW posts to his server, with all the legal repercussions of this.
Of course, if this was actually a problem for the admins they’d have turned off federation / put federation on allow list / would have defederated from a bunch of NSFW instances. Considering none of these are the case, I’d say you can chill and just subscribe to whatever community interests you.
