Agreed; I was more concerned with the possibility of the vast bulk of communities ending up on a couple instances rather than having major communities spread out. Having some way to keep similar communities connected and effectively moderated would be a great boon for us. How we best go about that, I'm not sure.
@AlmightySnoo
I'd rather not see one instance become overly dominant, it just acts to centralize content and puts undue strain on that instance.
@Kayzels
In my experience it can take a while (upwards of a day at times) for your instance to cache content from others that you've subscribed to.

@Angry_Maple As someone who uses Keepass, I highly recommend KeepassXC over the regular release. There is an open security vulnerability that the original devs aren't really addressing: www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/… the XC release team has mitigated this and has generally been better about improving the UX.
@proycon Proxmox on an HP Z620 (2x Xeon E5-2670, 16 cores, 64GB RAM)
Inside of that I run:
Emby
AMP (game server software)
Moodle (for content development, currently idle)
Home Assistant
Paperless-ngx
Grocy (just installed recently)
+ an assortment of VMs for various purposes
(Edit: for anyone who uses Proxmox: I find the scripts here tteck.github.io/Proxmox/ to be very helpful is quickly spinning up LXC's)
I also have an OPNSense firewall, a Pihole, and a Synology NAS.
Other than my game servers and Emby, which get port forwarding through my OPNSense firewall, everything stays internal to my network. I'm thinking of learning wireguard so I can remote into my network, but that's not a high priority.

This community is pretty small currently, so I think posting glyphs here is better than starting a new community specifically for it. If this one takes off it might be worth revisiting later on.

@denemdenem
On the point of multiple accounts, instead of making several across instances you can follow communities in other instances by searching for them with a "!" In front of them (e.g. [email protected]), then following the community (I am coming from friendica, so maybe their implementation is more simplified). In my experience this works pretty nicely, but it can take some time for old posts to be retrieved by your instance. I'm not sure why this is, so if anyone who understands better can come in to comment it would be useful!

@alehel @noodlejetski I'll add that when Twitter first hit the fan there was a large influx of Mastodon users, but it quickly fell off. Perhaps there are more tech-savvy Reddit users who will dive into the Fediverse than did with Twitter/Mastodon, but for your average user we're not approachable enough yet to overcome the inertia of familiarity.

@0485919158191 The site just went down for me (~14:05, 2023-06-11), returning 404, now 403 error.
@DarthRedLeader
I just tinker with mine, the software just isn't mature enough for daily driver use for the majority of users, myself included.

@Clbull A highly-upvoted comment suggests moving to Tilde. Is Tilde federated? I can't find anything that indicates it might be.
