It seems to me that most people here are from Reddit or looking for alternatives to Reddit. I dislike social media in general, but this is like — if I can call it this — a niche community on the internet. That appeals to me somehow. It would be nice to see who’s here for the sake of Lemmy itself, like myself.
[Edit] An addition: I could be wrong about most people being from Reddit. I don’t know that.
I actually had researched Lemmy before the reddit drama sense I do a fair amount of self-hosting. The reddit drama reminded me of this little corner. Maybe I’ll host my own instance when I beef up the server.
what do you host atm? (if you’re willing to share)
Of course! On the front end for friends and family I host plex and overseerr. Obviously all the arrs and everything in the background to make that work easily for people like my parents. Also running Pi-hole, vaultwarden, couple different back up services, vpn, all that fun stuff. Next project is setting up something for ebooks and maybe lemmy.
that’s really cool!
