Comment on How is Lemmy better than Reddit?

You own your data, you can self-host your Lemmy instance and still be connect with other Lemmy instances (Like what I do)
Also you can share whatever you want, no one tells you “If you say that again I’ll ban you from the entire network”. And of course, there are no ads or algorithms showing you what their owners want you to see. It’s freedom.
You own your data
This isn’t true unless you host your day own instance. Your data is owned by your instance admin in the same way Reddit owns their user data.
But the good thing is that on the fediverse, you can choose your own admin by choosing an instance, so you still have far more choice :)

Can ya point to a series of instructions that show one how to do that? I mean, I’ll search on my own as well, but since you seem well versed, I thought you may have some unique insight on a really good set of instructions.
