A super cool guy!
There’s so many providers, and they don’t always make it clear when they change hardware. Amazon AWS feels pretty open about it, they are good. I doubt the resource you are looking for will ever exist. You won’t be able to make a purchase decision with all the info you want.
Having said that, you did bring a ton of resources together in this post, thank you for that!
I like this idea. I’ve been self hosting using A VPS cloud server, but this is a great reason to do something in my home.
Hey /u/Mac if you know more can you expand? I understand it’s asking me to pick a language, I just don’t understand the warning. If i’m posting in english, it seems I should pick “english”, but the warning makes it sound like i’ll be missing out if I do that. What would I miss out on? What does it mean to “not see most content”? Why even have an option then? It’s just super unclear what happens.
Some issues I’ve seen, mostly related to interactions with mastodon. I generally use Mastodon more so I’ve been playing with it.
I can follow a lemmy community on my mastodon account but all the posters do not show their avatar. (actually i just checked again and my avatar shows up, but others don’t, so perhaps there is a long delay?)
I replied to a lemmy post on mastodon, and it showed up in lemmy, but when I’m logged in to lemmy and I try to post a reply to that it never publishes, the “post” button becomes the spinner and never makes the reply. This post for reference. This is the only one that feels like a bug.
when someone on another lemmy instance makes a post on our community, a mastodon toot goes out, but it links to their post on their community. It makes it a little odd to follow a link and it takes me to another instance than the one hosting the community. Maybe this isn’t a bug, just kinda annoying, kinda fediverse in general it’s tough to bounce between instances. Example. Ok making that link, it’s clear that the “post” originated from the instance. I guess this is just how it works. Message Board systems are a bit more tricky than twitter-style systems.
When I make a post, it’s got a warning Warning: If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content. and I have no idea what this is talking about.
I wish the community page would let me sort the rows by Subscribers.
You’re the admin of Lemmy.World? Thanks for hosting this place. What got you into self-hosting?
Since I’ve moved to a password manager I find these social logins less useful. Personal opinion.
