Lemmy on the Tor network?
Decided to join Lemmy after the Reddit stupid decisions recently (as is the same with most people around I suppose) one thing I like to always do when testing a site or a service is seeing how well it works with Tor, and so far it seems to work good!
Although a question I have is, is there any Lemmy instances as of right now that have a .onion mirror? Would this even be a good idea?
I've been wondering that myself
If an instance has an onion address, the text will come through Tor; however, pictures from other instances will still go through exit nodes since only the instance that hosts a community serves the media. My understanding is that Kbin federates everything but I haven’t used it and am unsure how it interacts with a Lemmy for media.
federation happens over the clearnet, so the only place tor gets used is your connection to the instance.
There’s this(yes i know it’s on Reddit just found it while searching in the past): https://www.reddit.com/r/Lemmy/comments/14fm398/could_i_make_a_lemmy_instance_on_onion_and_still/
Why not just use the link that the only comment is linking to... https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/tor_hidden_service.html
Figured I’d link the full post.
