Keep in mind that you’re going to be retrieving and storing a huge amount of data running these scripts
And you are adding to the overload of lemmy.world, beehaw, lemmy.ml, etc who have all the popular content communities. Federation has a lot of overhead, as does having to distribute a community one vote at a time to 500 subscribed servers.
it’s not very difficult to modify the code for something like this… and closing off registration wont’ let anyone else login and create new content form your istance.
Personally the load on the major servers by having one more instance that subscribes to everything is why I think people should back off from creating more than the 1500 instances Lemmy network already has. Delivery of every single vote, comment, post 24 hours a day just so one person can read content for an hour or two a day.
That makes sense for email systems where all that content doesn’t have to be sent, but for Lemmy it’s a huge amount of overhead.
