I thought this is why they don't let people post photos within 4 weeks of joining lmao

Great questions!

Just to start, I wanted it to be small and maybe just have some friends on it. If I enjoy it a lot and more people I know want to join - great. It's more of just a test for fun and if it is something I enjoy doing I'll keep doing it.

My main reason is just to be a local person hosting an instance so that my community might be more likely to join the fediverse. Maybe if they trust me, they will trust the fediverse more, and so on. Also I think a big benefit of the fediverse is the local effect - so I'd love to help out in that way if I can.

Right now in my initial planning, I was thinking about getting a VPS and setting Lemmy up on that. Long term I'd like to self host with hardware at home but I don't have the space or budget for that right now and VPS seemed like a good starting point.

As far as other services, I really like Lemmy and it feels the most approachable for "normies" that don't want a complicated onboarding. I know a lot of people who are kind of sick of "big social" so I think they would like the familiar design of Lemmy. I could be wrong there as I haven't tried any other platforms you listed.

Thanks for your input, you've really made me think!

I agree in some ways and not in others. Having no ads gives Summit a big leg up for me, but there are some interfaces that aren't super intuitive.

On Android (not sure if it's on iOS) I like that it feels more native than boost.

Gonna download now and give it a try. Currently using Boost but trying a few different options to see what works best. A lot of people suggested Voyager but I didn't like it very much.

Might be better to ask this in a bigger group!

Thank you for education

Learning to drive that would be a true genius status

Also does anyone else get a camera with a line through it when videos don't load at first
