Hi everyone,

I've been wondering about legal implications of self-hosting Lemmy. Isn't it universally required in many countries to moderate the content that you host publicly? What happens when someone posts something illegal on your instance and you don't won't to bother with being a mod and just enjoy the technical aspects of it?

Would love to hear your thoughts on this!

It was super easy. I just edited the config file in the Ansible playbook and needed to edit the certbot task because I use Cloudflare but other than that it was a breeze.
