I’m thinking about deploying my own instance where I’d be the only user and most probable I won’t have any communities.
The only thing there will be my account to interact with as many other instances as I want.

What would be de pros and cons of having my account like this?
Would it be harder to interact with other instances in some way?

    RE: cost. I’m doing a digital ocean droplet for $6 month which seems plenty for running Lemmy. So that’s $72 a year, plus maybe $20 for a domain name. So generally speaking if you can budget about $10 a month for your social media habit it can be done.

    I’m also running a $12 DO droplet (for Akkoma microblogging/“twitter” software) so my total costs are a little higher, but still i find its a reasonable trade off for my habits.
