I’m using a Raspberry pi 3 and attempting to compile Lemmy. It’s been frozen since about 10am eastern time. I’m hoping it’ll finish overnight.
Do you have any experience running Lemmy on a pi? I’d love to hear your stories.
I haven’t tried anything like it, but I’d be somewhat interested in hearing how that turns out. Lemmy does a fair bit of DB reads/writes, and I don’t think the throughput of the average SD card is up to the task if you subscribe to a lot of things or get a number of users.
But I’m totally open to being wrong.
Some people are extremely skeptical, while others encourage it strongly. I’m an update this post later with how well it works. I’m not too worried about it, because I’m literally expecting to be the only user. It’ll probably run just fine for my purposes, but I’m not expecting to use it as my primary account or anything. Really it’s just an experiment.
