Do you mind sharing a bit about how you were able to take a long break? I’m really interested in doing something like this before I turn 30; I’ve been working since 21

Another really big concern I have is that activity pub by definition shares all your posts with any instance that hosts your followers. So if you have a mastodon follower on FB’s activity pub/twitter replica, FB automatically gets your data even though you don’t use it

The type of things they get are

  1. Your profile
  2. Whatever you post
  3. Who interacts with your posts

Once I applied for a job via email and forgot to attach my resume 🤦 didn’t realize till the hiring manager emailed me back asking where my resume was. Got the job in the end though

Not sure that’s actually a problem. A lot of what’s wrong with traditional social media is the financial interests aren’t aligned with users interests.

As long as there’s enough donations to sustain hosting costs, there will always be a few volunteers to run the servers. And if one decides they’re done, lemmy will still exist because there’s other servers to go to.

The website definitely works, but it has weird issues with posts jumping around.

Also you can’t use gestures on the website, but you can on apps. Like swiping to comment/like, tapping to hide, etc). It just feels way smoother

Yeah Memmy is way better than the web app, and you can already do most of what you’d want to do. Definitely recommend checking it out

I’m still kinda new to lemmy, but it sounds like every post on all your communities get sent to your instance? And maybe every comment?

That’s probably fine for now, but when happens when one of the communities you follow gets a ton of users? I imagine you’d end up having to scale your self-hosted server even though it’s just you consuming the content?

That doesn’t seem sustainable. Not knocking your idea to self-host, more concerned with the scalability of lemmy
