Yes! I totally agree. I did do host a public yacy instance over I2P already (search engine)

I have been experimenting with Lemmy and stoat over I2P. I did get them working but it is still a big Hassel. Also for anyone wanting to try hosting stoat. You can't use i2pd because it doesnt implement full socks which breaks some of the http headers you need with stoat.

If you can actually figure out some more shit there, document it, that would be extremely useful information, imo.

Theoretically, at least a modified version of lemmy should be constructible within I2P land... but trying to make it accessible via clearnet would... almost certainly be basically not worth it, and arguably defeat the entire point?

It is possible to use I2P as effectively an extremely complex VPN sort of thing for clearnet, via outproxies, but you then just have to trust the outproxy, basically.
