Thank you for the clarification, I understand what is your issue now

but I don’t see how what I am proposing would make things more difficult?

Now when a user reports a troll, the report goes to the moderators of the community. But in special cases the admins of the user instances should deal with banning. So the admins of the community instances have to deal with reports, but the solution is at the hand of the user instance admins. It's the same as dealing with users from other instances, but an edge case.

My recommendations would be something like this: (I'm just a random user, so it's just my point of view)

• Shut down the fully inactive instances. Noone will even even notice it
• Merge the semi active communities to a handful of instances, like sports and technology... . I've seen active communities move instances, it would be possible, take a look how !europe@feddit.de migrated to !europe@feddit.org. Give enough time for subscribers to notice and subscribe to the new one.
• Allow registration of moderators on these instances, so they can work around the current limitations of moderation tools. Maybe an invite only solution or something like this.
• You could find help more easily if you look for admins for 3-4 instances instead of for 18 instances.

This would be useful for you and other admins, because you would have to admin much less number of instances. They would be still considered small instances, compared to big one, so you still not at the "too big to fail" level. For users it would help community discovery, there are overlap between followers of similar topics, e.g. I have friends who follow both European football and NBA at the same time, I read both selfhosting related topics and about general tech support, etc...

For my tasks I use Nextcloud Tasks via caldav. Do you plan to add caldav support? You could solve the problem of missing native apps with this as well, as caldav is supported in a lot of desktop calendar apps (e.g. Thunderbird), and android has the genial opentasks app which uses the same standard.

I use this workflow, and used it on reddit as well. Here I have different accounts on different instances. Mobile apps lets you change between them easily. On desktop I just open them in a different tabs.

I use wallabag. There is paid hosted version, but you can install it on your server. You can tag, star and mark read/unread your bookmarks. There is a webapp, browser extensions, mobile apps for all platforms, and apps for ebook readers.

I use MJ PDF on Android, and it's very responsive, and foss: https://github.com/mudlej/mj_pdf/

There are some issues about this guides in the docs repo maybe worth to read them as well: https://github.com/rustdesk/doc.rustdesk.com/issues?q=is%3Aissue+synology

Read logs, usually they can help a lot. To see the live log of a container (e.g.. hbbs) use the docker logs -f hbbs https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/logging/ Without any usable info it's not possible to help you.

Rustdesk has a section specifically for Synologys: https://rustdesk.com/docs/en/self-host/rustdesk-server-oss/synology/ Have you read this?

Yes?

Do you want to ban the internet because people using it for bad things? Basically you say the same thing.

I don't care what other people do, I care what they could do with me.

Yes, that's true. Illusion of choice, anti monopoly laws are working as expected.
