My instance will be for me only, I will be the only person on it and it will be closed for registrations. I won't be responsible for anyone else's data on my instance, nothing for me to be concerned about.

She's kinda right. It is less straightforward. I like it tho.

By control, I mean I can back up my data and ensure my comments, subscribed communities, messages, etc are all available to me no matter what, I don't have to rely on some external third-party managing it for me.

Yep that worked, thanks!

I wanna self-host my own instance so I have more control over my data.

Sounds like you need to sub to more communities!

Ooh, that's a really good idea, I need a federation helper bot/account when I start self-hosting a Lemmy instance!

Weird, it doesn't seem to have a subscribe button when I go to it: https://i.imgur.com/vws3HXX.png

I run into all kinds of oddities with Lemmy.

Also I got a JSON parse error when trying to write this comment here too lol

It is? TIL, that's pretty interesting.

Awesome, that was just as straightforward as I was hoping it was, thanks! I am more familiar with MySQL as I haven't used Postgres a ton but SQL is SQL after all lol
