Edit: thanks everyone for the suggestions!
Do keep them coming as it might be helpful for others who come across this, since it seems quite a few users are (understandably) bleeding from lemmy.world these days, like myself

I was looking for a solid instance to move to, but I'm getting burned out from trying to find the perfect instance that:

• is based in a country with reasonable privacy reputation (if it still fits the bill, outside Europe too is fine)
• allows creating communities without admin approval (I'm willing to try getting into one of those too if needed, hopefully it would be accepting of creating niche communities though)
• doesn't defederate indiscriminately

The tool I used is lemmyverse.net but it seems the filtering isn't working great, or I just don't understand it, e.g. I filter by Italian language and the only Italian instance I know (feddit.it) doesn't show up, while a slew of irrelevant ones is listed (Lemmy Português is there??)

Sorry if I sound so needy, maybe I'm just overthinking it, since posts are public and indexable by anyone. Do say so, if I should chill out and just pick one of the usual ones like lemm.ee etc.

P.S. I would love to self-host, but I'm currently not able to either, I don't have enough technical expertise.

Is it ok to post personal projects regardless of size?
What I mean is, if we can post, does it have to be something actually good and useful, or can it be little toy projects as well?

Do we know any more about the plans of Tumblr for when it will join the Fediverse?
Matt did say "ASAP" at the time. Start of July saying they're still working on it, did he simply underestimate how big of an undertaking it would be?

I've set a specific provider under the Private DNS setting and it works for the direct connection between the phone and the network, but it won't work on the devices that are connected to the hotspot of my phone, they instead fall back onto the default DNS of my ISP.
Is there a way to force that DNS on all the devices connected?

Sorry if the post is long, trying to give each relevant detail.

Update 1: I also updated the UEFI just to be sure and the issue persists as expected

My system has two drives, the first for Linux and the second for Windows.
Initially I had OpenSUSE MicroOS on the first and I could boot into Windows through the UEFI, but then I installed Fedora on it and lost the ability to get into Windows since. I thought that it had a boot partition on its own drive, but I guess I was wrong since now that I checked the partitions, there is no FAT32 partition on there.

└─nvme0n1p3                                     692M part  ntfs

Unlike on my Linux drive

├─nvme1n1p1                                     600M part  vfat        /boot/efi
├─nvme1n1p2                                       1G part  ext4        /boot

So I probably destroyed the content of the boot files in its installation process.

I'm able to access my BitLocker encrypted drive through Fedora, so if I have to reinstall I can still make a backup (it wasn't very important to me either way).
I also fired up a Windows recovery drive to see if it detected the system and it does, I haven't yet looked at what the recovery drive can do, so if that's the key to solving this let me know.

The actual question

So at this point I wonder: is there a way to restore the Windows boot option? Would I have to do it in some GRUB config or do I have to/can I create a boot partition on the Windows drive too and somehow write the bootloader there?
