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.
But you can discover it for your instance, no?
Yep, you can search by name specifically on https://kbin.social/search (or your kbin instance) and subscribe to it, then it starts getting synced.
