  I am a big fan of content-specific instances. Some instances off the top of my head that fit this description:

  • bookwormstory.social - Instance about the Ascendance of a Bookworm series
  • ani.social - Instance about anime/manga/Japanese media
  • slrpnk.net - Instance focused on the climate crisis and related issues
  • programming.dev - Instance focused on software development
  • startrek.website - Instance about Star Trek
  • literature.cafe - Instance about books and writing

  …and I am sure there are many others. I just think that having a focus like that provides a more interesting local instance environment than a large, generalist instance.

  Is there a way to customize the order of libraries?

  Nope.

  subtitle playback

  This is still a little weird. I found that the web client (in a browser) handles this really well with default settings. However, if I try to use the desktop app or a mobile client, I have to force it to burn in the subtitles for them to show up reliably. Fortunately, there are per-client settings for this now:

  I have hosted a wordpress site on my unraid box before, but ended up moving it to a VPS instead. I ended up moving it primarily because a VPS is just going to have more uptime since I end up tinkering around with my homelab too often. So, any service that I expect other people to use, I often end up moving it to a VPS (mostly wikis for different things). The one exception to that is anything related to media delivery (plex, jellyfin, *arr stack), because I don’t want to make that as publicly accessible and it needs close integration with the storage array in unraid.
