Thanks! I’ve been looking for this.

Were you using yuzuEA?

The other thing that helps is increasing the VRAM to 4GB.

I started with my self-hosted Mastodon instance but quickly realized that just added noise. Self-hosting Lemmy was pretty simple and now I run both.

The resource needs for a small Lemmy instance are quite low and practically nothing compared to my Mastodon instance.

I use https://lemmyverse.net/communities

It has an option to sort by "subscribers". According to that this community is the 25th largest.

It's not the cheapest but I use a DigitalOcean instance to do what you are describing. I've been burned by VPS hosts and I've enjoyed the complete lack of drama or downtime with DigitalOcean.

For port forwarding I'm using Private Internet Access and gluetun. I don't really recommend Private Internet Access and, like you, I'm interested in a better solution. It'd be nice if I could use ProtonVPN's port forwarding but it looks like that only works if you use their app.

I try to use Firefox as much as I can since it's the last rendering engine that isn't owned by Apple or Google.

If Firefox doesn't work I've found Vivaldi to be a nice alternative to Chrome/Edge/Brave.

I run my own FreshRSS and it’s been a great experience.

Diablo IV runs great on the Steam Deck and low-end PCs. I’d lean toward PC since you don’t need to pay every month for for online access and it will work on your PC and Deck.

I second this. I used to use Raspberry Pis but one mini PC can do so much more and isn’t much more expensive.

I find this really useful for small instances that don’t have a large communities tab.

Hopefully large instances keep federating with the small, self-hosted ones. I’m not sure how to check but I think really small instances still have the most reach.

I'm tired of not seeing any ads.
