if I selfhost, does that take any load of Lemmy?

Your instance is it’s own thing and will only push data that’s from communities created on your instance to others.

However, since your instance will have limited users, it will consume fewer resources and your browsing experience would be faster.

I’m not sure of where the limits are on the pushing side of things. If people from a lot of instances are subscribed to a particular community in an instance, there is a lot of outgoing data from there. This is something I’m curious about.

What are new technologies I should be looking into / learning in my free time?

As someone with more than 5LOE I’ve found that technology matters less and general concepts are more valuable.

So look at system design concepts, how infra you use typically works (pubsub, databases, etc), how companies solve problems (engineering blogs from companies like slack, meta etc)

Learning new languages only helps if you are currently working on something obscure.
