Just wondering. My parents, brother, and girlfriend all use my server regularly (which I believe worked because I set up Jellyfin, Immich, Vaultwarden, and LubeLogger for myself and them), but I invited my close group of friends to use Jellyfin and Jellyseerr about a week ago, in a concise message, and they all ghosted me about it lol. I have about 40 TB of media and room for much more. I want to share it, but blasting it on my Instagram is too much, too.

Who else uses your server, and how do you usually get people interested in trying it out? I'm genuinely curious to hear about your experiences.
