If I self host a Lemmy instance for just myself and maybe a few friends are there any risks? by VitaminH in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Yes I'd only be allowing people I know personally to create accounts. No other registration would be allowed. The last thing I'd want to be is another one of those bot filled instances that have been popping up.

Looking to maybe self host my own instance, I'm still learning about the fediverse. If a different instance that I federate with hosts something illegal are there risks to me? Is anything from other instances hosted on my server like a copy of it? Or would I only end up hosting things my users post? I'm paranoid and sorry if this is a silly question.
