What are the implications I need to be aware of when setting up my instance with Lemmy-Federate? (lemmy-federate.com)

Can my humble, single-user instance handle it? Are there any settings I need to be careful about? Should I just backup my server and wing it?

I would suggest you to set Federation mode to seed only. I do not recommend mutual mode for instances under 100 users.

NSFW? Your preference. Auto add? I think you should enable. Fediseer? Default is fine.

The option I see is mutual versus seed only. Is the difference that my bot account won't subscribe to new communities in seed only mode and therefore what I see when viewing All won't change?

If you seed only, then your bot won't subscribe. So your All tab will be the same.

Mutual mode can put an additional load on your instance if you are not following the top communities on Lemmy. But I believe it is worth it.

If the extra load becomes a problem, you can disable the bot at any time. With the "Reset subscriptions" button, your bot will unfollow from all communities.
