Hi all, I tried hosting my own lemmy instance to take some of the load off lemmy.world, but a lot of the posts do not get synchronised to my instance. When they do, they never got more than a couple upvotes.

I get a lot of warnings in the logs that I’ve got an incoming connection not on my allowed hosts, of which I’ve put “lemmy.world” and “lemmy.ml

Does self hosting like this actually reduce the load on lemmy.world and the fediverse? And how can I fix the issue I’m having?

    Yeah good point. I did start up an instance but haven’t done much. Ran into a lot of federation issues which I know are common.
