I did this on my instance. You create a new user and give the script those credentials, it goes out and subs to all the trending communities across the various instances so now my instance has a big mish-mash of communities federated, not just the ones I originally subscribed to on my personal user.
Yeah this one right here. I run my own little instance, made it easy to choose.
Did the blog’s author just update the header of that post recently? It seems to indicate this was expected behaviour from the instructions they forgot they gave to ChatGPT.
I’m running 1 vCPU, 2GB of RAM and 25GB of disk at the moment for my tiny instance (we have like 5 users?). I started with 1GB of RAM but it quickly started swapping on disk and causing performance issues. I should probably bring it up to 4GB but it’s not necessary yet so I’m delaying.
Something I’d like to implement is object storage for pictures (via AWS S3 bucket) as detailed here: https://lemmy.eus/comment/164368
I can’t seem to find it in a Google search now so I’ll take a look at my server in case I ran the script there and saved a copy. There appear to be a lot of similar tools now to assist with people moving over from Reddit but this script was really quick and handy.
