A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

I think as long as you don't give them reason to, they won't have any reason to block you. They'd have to explicitly block you, after all. If they aren't noticing any problems then I don't see why they'd take the time to block you.
So basically, you should be fine.
I'm also planning on hosting my own Lemmy instance at some point too.
What I'm concerned about is if the large instances move from a blocklist model (like they have now) to instead use an allowlist model, where only explicitly approved instances are allowed to federate with them.
That's true, that's a good point. Well I guess the only thing you can do is hope that doesn't happen lol
Setting up a Lemmy instance isn't the easiest thing, and automating it is even more challenging, so I don't necessarily think it's the kind of thing that can be done so easily. It's like 100x harder than creating a new account so I feel like It's not something that would be abused as much as like creating new accounts would be. I think it'll probably be fine.
