Getting adequate mental health treatment

You would likely need more than one admin. Regardless, I wish you the best of luck because you’re going to need it.

Be prepared to be defederated from almost immediately as it opens by people… as well, as an instance admin, I can say it is hard. Even for a small instance. As well, people are just going to downvote your instances content as soon as its posted. The only reason we have the harry potter community still on literature.cafe is because its dead and most posts to it are critique of the TERF JK Rowling and the series, if it was positive content we’d likely have to delete it.

No, but you can go into settings and disable Auto Quick Answer

It’s great in my opinion! I do need the unlimited search plan but that’s because I search so much. The AI stuff is pretty unobstructive too, and can pretty much be disabled if you want to. I like the way you can search lemmy with it especially.

It works with most fediverse platforms (its in beta still, but gonna come out of beta soon!) not so much with lemmy as its more so microblogging

I enjoy gotosocial, its such a lightweight fediverse server

Please make announcements on lemmy instead of exclusively on discord moving forward. That is the biggest issue here, the lack of public transparency. Such a decision affects all instances, not just lemmy.world and making it publicly known is important
