  First off, there’s nothing we can do about moving away from larger hosting Corporations, not with the technology we currently have. If we want to reach a national or international audience, we need infrastructure, and that has to come from somewhere; a business model makes sense. If you’re hosting to a small community, you’d be able to get away with 1 selfhost, but to scale you’d need redundancies and bandwidth. The best choice we can make is the companies we would rather do business with. At this point, I’m definitely favoring Cloudflare and Azure (in that order) over AWS.

  I would argue that the fractured - often openly hostile - intra-instance infighting on Lemmy feeds directly into OP’s image’s “this is too weird and scary” attitude.

  I see this in a lot of comments about this so while I don’t want to downplay the severity of this, I’ve personally never see instance in-fighting. Maybe it’s the things I’m subscribed to, idk, but I usually visit both my local and all just to see what’s going on. The Hexbear domain being sold is probably one of the first times I’ve run across discussions about other instances. Also, their domain being sold is lowkey hilarious. That was a problem as old as the internet (losing a domain). As we move to decentralization and privatization/ownership of data that’s going to continue to be a thing I think.

  Its the same intra-channel fighting we saw on Reddit,

  Maybe I’m misunderstanding the intra-channel fighting - is it just disagreeable people commenting, or is it like “This community is better than that” or “This instance is better than that”? I often see discussions on Reddit, arguing, bad faith actors, but I wouldn’t classify that as in-channel-fighting. idk.

  There’s not a lot we can do about it individually.

  Complain. JoinLemmy is Open Source on Github. If you have ideas - share them. If you take a look through their issues and feel like adding in your 2 cents, go for it.

  Hard disagree. The entire point of Lemmy is to move away from Corporate run, Billionaire run, Millionaire run, social media (which Reddit is). Without attracting new users Lemmy will almost certainly perish. It’s goal should be a low bar to onboard new social media users coming from places like Reddit, Facebook, X.

  Saying “Not our problem” is a woefully shortsighted.

  I’m not the one complaining “people are mean”. You’re either a troll or incapable of self-reflection, which is why your “block list” is just going to keep growing and growing, and you’ll never learn or change.

  Good luck on your journey though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's Mastodon precious?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  lol you called dude a “Fucking retard” for posting a link on a 3 month old comment thread that you could have just ignored.

  I generally look at someone’s comment history before replying to them to see if it’s even worth a reply. The internet has been and always will be (without heavy authoritarian moderation) full of trolls, Bad Faith Actors, and idiots. Block everyone, cry victim, whatever makes you feel better. Maybe if you keep running into assholes and trolls you should reflect on your comment history and how you interact with people online. The kind of comments you feel the need to comment back to (because you don’t need to comment on anything, like ever).

  Jellyfin: Streaming works fine, but it doesn’t recognize individual artists (my files are in one big folder, so albums are jumbled).

  Yeah, but like MusicBrains and AudioDB plugins. It should scan through and try to match the metadata to better organize your files.

  Then for mobile you can connect to the Symfonium app.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HTTPS with FreeDNS⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No, I don’t necessarily want other people to access my Jellyfin, but my folx live out in the boons, and that was the only way I could find to reliably access my media. I guess I also come from a web background so it felt right to me. The Asustor I have really limits what I can and can’t do with it. I got it as a like, starter point since it felt out of the box. I’m also on Windows lol.

  Do you have any resources for how I could grant access outside my network with a VPN, wireguard, or tailscale? I’m open to other options, I’m really just kind of fumbling my way through this idea of what I want.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HTTPS with FreeDNS⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I do have port 80 open as well as 443, both going to my Jellyfin HTTP/HTTPS ports respectively. HTTP seems to work for both when I access “pretty” domain and the FreeDNS URLs directly. It’s really only when I try to force HTTPS that I’m having issues.

  I’ll play around with Let’s Encrypt today to see if I can get the FreeDNS cert applied. I’ve tried to use AI to assist me in learning how to do all this, it suggests I need both my “pretty” domain and the FreDNS domain tied to the same Cert, which Im unable to do at my current domain registrar, so I might also need to move that but I’ll take it one step at a time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HTTPS with FreeDNS⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m still pretty green so I’m not sure what terminated means in this context.

  My domain registrar for my “pretty” domain (not FreeDNS) allowed me to issue a Let’s Encrypt on it. It gave me the encrypted Cert code, Private Key code, and Immediate Cert code. I was able to bring them down into .crt and .key files respectively and assign them to my NAS. Jellyfin though required a PKCS #12 file so I installed openssl CLI via Choco and fed it my .crt and .key files to generate the necessary pfx file. So, right now all the cert information is tied to my “pretty” domain via my domain register. I would assume that my register and Let’s Encrypt has my private key info, but also my key files uploaded to the NAS and rolled into the PFK file.

  Not sure if that helps or answers your question but that’s the info I got.

  Oh no.

  I decided to go with an Asustor prebuilt NAS for my first self-host. It’s got a Jellyfin app, but not an Audiobookshelf app.

  Jellyfin runs on Docker, so I have the Docker app installed and running.

  Audiobookshelf runs on Docker. Could I just like, spin up a container and run it? How would I access it through my Asustor? I access Jellyfin either direct or through my portal dashboard.

  So many questions! Like, I lowkey love having all my media accessible in 1 place: Series, Movies, Music, Audiobooks all in one place through Jellyfin. If I split my Audiobooks into Audiobookshelf somehow, how do I keep the ease of access? Maybe spin up another Docker container and create a landing page linking both Jellyfin and Audiobookshelf? Could (should I? Can I?) do it all through the same Docker container that Jellyfin is currently run on? Are there tutorials about this?

  Thank you again for the suggestion

  Do you have any recommended resources for getting started? I do have a secondary PC…

  Which VPS do you recommend?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does "Selfhosted" mean you actually have a server at home?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you think that the majority host from a 3rd party services or hosts from a home server?
