This should be a pinned post as it really captures the essence of my experience so far.

FuyuhikoDate, Hmm… Maybe i should write a Post about my Problems with the home Assistant App ^^
But Unfortunatally i mostly think “the official forum might be a better Place?”
Zak, (edited ) 
I’ve been self-hosting Mastodon for a while and mostly using it to share bird photography, but also to provide comments on a static site. Since Mastodon and Lemmy both speak ActivityPub, those get crossposted to /c/flashlight so Lemmy comments are also included on my site. Federation is cool.
I don’t follow many accounts that post Fediverse meta stuff on Mastodon. While I have some interest in the best examples of that content, the only way to attract a broader community is to promote accounts and content appealing to the interests of that broader audience.
dan, 
Wow, that comments section is really nice! How did you implement it? Does the site also use ActivityPub and subscribe to the thread?
Zak, It uses the Mastodon API in a client-side script adapted from this one.
Rai, Mmmmmmmm Emisar… I picked up the DT8 recently and it’s absolutely hilarious. I love it so much.

“Here, I just want a space where we can just talk about the idea of talking about what we would like to talk about!”
h_a_r_u_k_i, 
insert Thanos stone meme.
We self host an instance to share knowledge about self-hosting that instance.
PersnickityPenguin, Reminds me of early days of Linux.
You should ditch windows and switch to Linux! It has everything!
What I can I do on it?
You can compile your own kernel!

Xylight, 
We must self host an instance to discuss self hosting instances to discuss self hosting the instance.
LainOfTheWired, 
It’s always fun when my Nextcloud server crashes and I lose calendar sync
A10, 
Or when I use my server through a VPN and fail2ban bans me
GreenMario, Shit I’m about to turn my old computer into a server. And tbh I don’t need it but I gots to use it for something.
hoodlem, LMAO. So, so true and I have no problem with it. Self-hosted seems to be one of the most active communities on Lemmy. I learn a lot and y’all all seem cool.
willya, 
Hope that’s mostly a joke.
punkcoder, 
its not.
ericjmorey, 
Me too
lemmyvore, Of course it’s a joke. We also host other things not just Mastodon. 🙄
punkcoder, Hey… wanna start a lemmy instance?
lemmy, 
So true
MajorHavoc, I feel seen.
flerp, Privacy compromised!
1984, 
Accurate. We care about privacy and quality. A rare breed.
angelsomething, Hey why the personal attack.
ericjmorey, Collateral damage can’t always be avoided.
originalfrozenbanana, Sorry there’s a Mastodon subreddit? If it’s purpose isn’t nearly exclusively to redirect people to Mastodon then what are we doin lol
ericjmorey, I’m enjoying my weekend, how about you?
Lemmling, Now I have to self host mastodon to join the party 🥳
hottari, I don’t host a Mastodon but I can feel this.
