I would love this, running a SFW topical instance but ok to let people make it home. Have plenty of capacity and no plans to shut it down. Last system i ran lasted almost 15 years before it shut down due to utter lack of use…because reddit.
Yes, I’m in the very same boat. I spun up my instance and people are coming, mostly as lurkers, though. Which is fine for me.
However, I also don’t plan to shut down my instance for years to come, as long as Lemmy (or forks of it) is going to be supported. Should I fall ill or get sick of hosting it, my plan would be to hand over control to someone else.
I always used forums as 1st level knowledge stores, bascially where stuff lives before its promoted to a more durable and catalogable format like a wiki. doing it in public as much as you can is just the way IMO. I was starting to use reddit before they made these moves, happy to be back to doing it the old ways!

Join-lemmy would need to be opt-in first. Lots of the smaller instances are people experimenting or instances meant for owner and friends
Yes, that’s true, as well.

I also run regular off-site backups, etc.
