I’m reading up on self-hosting Lemmy, and I was planning on creating my own private instance for individual use on some spare Azure ASP I use to host private FreshRSS (not rich to host a public service).

This basically shuts my idea down, because I wanted to simply host my account myself and browse all of Lemmy as I please.

So is everyone hosting individual instances dealing with them being public? is there a workaround to avoid having a public service that anyone can see?

    Yeah, I’d love for it not to be public, but that’s currently not a feature. Still, there’s only one user, so it’s not too bad, you just have to be more diligent to not subscribe to anything that would be illegal for you to host in your and your server’s country.
