I thought this was an interesting post and discussion on selfhosted. Thoughts?

Some great points, but it’s nonsense to say r/selfhosted isnt about selfhosting. I’ve learned so much there.

    I like that idea, although I think we need some simpler guides as to what exactly one might he getting into if they’re setting up an instance that’s not just a domain name. (Costs, potential usage blowing up, legal issues with content, etc…)

    Also, I really think there needs to be a smoother way to navigate between instances. I guess, so you’re still aware of “jumping nodes”, but also don’t feel locked in there. (Although maybe I’m just a newb still haha)

      @MonkeMischief oh i agree. Setting up an instance is not easy. And choosing a place on the fediverse can be tricky based on how you decide to interact over here. For example I’m not on lemmy but I use my hubzilla instance to interact with the communities I am passionate about which I find is really cool.

      And it does take some time to really understand how this allworks together but once you understand it’s fairly easy to use and navigate.
