Don't worry, I didn't :)
Oh wow, I didn't notice the date! Apparently the edit put it up in my feed - probably because this instance wasn't there when the post was created.
It's there, some apps and show the link very prominent if there's some text as well. Do you see the preview?
Thanks a lot for your response! I too was a bit misguided by the way Proxmox presents LXCs but I'm mostly on VMs and haven't explored LXCs further so far.
Thanks. Admittedly my whole stack is in ipv4 anyways, my ISP also only supports ipv4 for some reason and then I never bothered to get into v6 for my local stuff.
Hehe thanks! Not 100% decided yet but since it's running on my homeserver and not some VPS I guess I won't open except for friends maybe.
That sounds good! If Pixelfed or similar implemented that, it could be sufficient. A new fedi service starting from scratch would lack the existing pool of resources since federation only happens when a post gets posted/boosted but after some time it could actually be useful.
Idk about you but I use pinterest to find inspo for all kinds of things. For that to work, the posts need extensive hashtagging/indexing that goes beyond the occasional hashtag on Mastodon I think. In Pinterest, I really want their Algorithm to find the stuff I don't know yet I'm looking for. If that kind of search existed, we wouldn't need a specific Pinterest clone I guess - maybe a topic-board thing on Pixelfed would be enough if the indexing would be sufficient.
I've been using Mastodon for eight years and got involved with hosting a small instance for some years now. Also running a Bookwyrm instance and, since a few days, this Lemmy instance which will remain single user most likely.
I have several more Mastodon accounts I'm switching between and inactive Pixelfed, GoToSocial and Friendica accounts.
Hardware hosts usually get a mix of hardware description and main use, e.g. en old Esprimo with Proxmox is esprimox. Virtual hosts are garden themed - auth server is mycel, monitoring will be called canopy once I move it, VM with lots of docker stuff is garden etc.
Sure! It's a Lenovo m910q tiny. Mine has an i7-6700 and 32GB RAM but Lemmy runs in a VM with 4 cores and 8 GB RAM which should be plenty, it's not even using half that RAM. Disk Space seems to be the limiting factor after a while since it keeps copies of all remote threads and comments but that can be cleaned up too.
Found some threads online on resource usage beforehand like this: https://lemmy.ml/post/440678
