How will lemmy instances survive if they get too big?
Reply in thread
There is a lot of debate on whether or not small instances help or make it worse, mostly due to how Lemmy handles pushing updates.
The main consensus is that joining a small to medium sized instance would have the smallest footprint on Lemmy.
That being said, Lemmy has a lot more developers working on it now it has all this attention and now they can see where Lemmy struggles on large instances, so what is true today may not be true in the future.

Check out Overseerr if you use Plex, or Jellyseerr if you use Jellyfin.
It will show you popular and upcoming movies/tv shows, and you can integrate with with the arr suite to have users able to request and download the shows.
It's fantastic, especially if you're sharing your media server with others

If you had to redo your self hosting setup, what would you do differently this time around?
I would have gone with an Intel CPU to make use of iGPU for transcoding and probably larger hard drives.
I also would have written down my MariaDB admin password... Whoops

Star Trek viewing party
Id be down. Semi related, there is a podcast called "The Greatest Generation" that's basically a goofy recap and discussion of each TNG Ep that I've been enjoying, might help scratch that itch a bit for you.

Anyone running Lemmy using Unraid?

Oh nice, I know the request has been made of Linuxserver as well but I haven't seen any official response to it

What are some interesting accounts to follow on Mastodon?
Reply in thread
I think it is on android still? In which case I recommend megladon. It's a fork of the official app with more features, like following hashtags.
I thought all the third party apps were really ugly, so I was happy to find out about this

And the touch pad works as a trackpad, controlling the mouse. Super useful for launching games and such in desktop mode.

Considerations for a homeserver thats open to the internet? (Jellyfin / Nextcloud)
Reply in thread
Crowdsec will analyse the logs from your reverse proxy and identify malicious actors, bots and whatever else you configure it to. It then tells a "bouncer" (part of your reverse proxy) to reject the request, block the IP or redirect them to a captcha.
The downside is that it's kinda a pain to get set up, at least in my experience. It also stopped working without informing me and I've never been able to get it working again since. If you don't use docker the experience might be a bit easier.

noob-proof reverse proxy with auth

That seems really cool. Is it much use if you don't want to run the programs inside cosmos?
E.g. they're already running through unraid

App or service to self host ebooks?
Reply in thread
I believe you can, but I just copied the calibre books and database from my PC and run it from calibre-web without maintaining any link to calibre.
It's not perfect but it works well enough.

Why isn't my port forwarding working?
I haven't used ProtonVPN, but for PIA the port never showed as open until traffic was going through it.
Once I put the port into qbittorrent and downloaded for a couple of minutes, the port then showed as open for port test tools.

TNG was my starting point. I tried to start with TOS, but I couldn't get into it until TNG made me fall in love with Star Trek.

Help! Instance syncronizing in a very weird way
Reply in thread
Yes, "All" shows all the communities users are subscribed to on your instance (since communities don't federated with an instance until someone on that instance subscribes to it)

jellyfin always transcodes hevc on android mobile
In addition to checking the official apps player settings, I found Findroid can direct play a lot more files than the official app.
