If we all self-host, then that’s going to do something very interesting – the idiot activist will have to do the same amount of effort to hack one instance as they did before, but instead of having hundreds or thousands of users affected, it will affect a handful. Take a look at a DDOS attack where many different computers are hijacked in order to attack one target. This is sort of a reverse of that, where there are many targets, and the value of each one goes way down. If our enemies had to attack 100 websites in order to be effective, or even better a thousand websites, they are going to need an attack 100 or 1000 times more intense to get the same effect.
I don’t see why it wouldn’t be possible. You can run straight up linux on some phones or you can run something like UserLAnd and run some linux distros. Since docker also has emulation layer to run x86 stuff on arm and the other way around I don’t see any issues running it.
When I have the time I will try to do it on one old samsung galaxy s7 edge that I have.
Tbh that would be straight gold if its possible. Definitely willing to try it if there is a short guide out. I have zero clue where to start but googling some stuff shouldnt be an issue.
Domains are cheap and we all have a spare phone. Also a fun first project.
Let’s take a trip on DMT. Welcome to the Dank Microwave Taco or DMT for short. Anything and everything goes in here. Be sure to share your experience on DMT with your friends, family and social media. @WiggleHard bans nothing and exiles nobody (Dont doxx wolfballs users, no posting of porn/nudes or foot fetish material unless it involves political scandals, no ads for sex sites or dating sites; do that on your own time, no solicitation for pyramid scams, no posting job advertisements unless from official job sites, no posts supporting pedophilia, not all love is love) also: (we cannot allow violations of the patriot act concerning how we speak, no calls for violence, suggesting you are personally harming someone ect. These things are not free speech protected by law but actually against the law and could get the website shut down.) (no spam posting, especially spam posting of what could be considered symbols of hate) examples: guy posting nazi flag 5 times in one day, guy posting “whitey is the devil over and over, im going to use my best judgement on this one rule)
What are the hardware requirements? I’ve got machines lying around.

The beauty of self hosting and decentralization
Njal.la is probably your best bet for domains. After that comes everything that accepts crypto and offers whois privacy.
As far as server rental go there was a list on dread in the “dark web” for anonymous and tor friendly vps providers.
This is so you always have access to your own instance and it updates EH whenever it can reach it?
Yes
Has anyone hosted one on a phone? I have a old pinephone collecting dust it would be funny to just make it into a lemmy instance.
I think you can do it using termux.
termux may not be necessary with the pinephone, which can run linuxy distros like postmarketos for instance
The PP isn’t very capable device. A good phone with termux would be better if you are gonna host other stuff.

I am 99% sure it can work. You even have built in UPS if it works
I concur :D
