I have learned more in the few weeks about self hosting, rust, flutter and other things in lemmy, mastodon and fediverse than in the last few years in Reddit and other social media. Maybe learned more in hacker news. It’s awesome here and love the people here who are wonderful and knowledgeable and teach me patiently without any prejudice. Thanks everyone who make this awesome place.
You are part of those who make this place awesome ☺️
You have broken out of the algorithmic chains that has tied up your attention and time to literal prolefeed. And it starts when you chose to abandon Reddit and go out of your way to join a Lemmy instance (often cited as the biggest barrier of entry: to choose an instance) so congrats! 😀
Same here! I’m posting this from my own instance which is not something I would have been remotely comfortable setting up before lemmy :)
Yeah it’s been fun! I’ve set up self-hosting of several fediverse projects and have learned a lot.
