  • You could be the 4rth!

    In actuality, most people use social media to lurk and only 1% (made up number but its a small percent) actually post/comment. And even less actually make “content”. I like her videos and I almost always learn something new.

    Trust me, I try to get as many peertube creators out there as possible on lemmy. It takes a bit to find. Peertube the software is very capable of serving the videos…but youtube gives them $$ if they succeed on the platform and Peertube gives them freedom. Some people will post to both (I think this is the most pragmatic approach in case you get copyright struck).





  • Remember your local community is one of the most valuable resources. Get to know your neighbors, invest in your social capital.

    I remember coming across post in a /r/collapse on reddit that poked fun at a lot of peoples plans. He stated he was in a war torn country and found a lot of plans revolve around personal survivorship instead of community based. And the immediate local community is the one that most people fall back on and the one that often times helps out the most.









  • I have a similar setup with around 5 federated services (Lemmy/bookwyrm/mastodon(GoToSocial)/pixelfed/Peertube/etc… and it works well. The slowest component is the internet connection by far. Yunohost makes it easy but a couple of the more niche services are on docker. All self hosted on an old PC and a pi.

    Just a note, these are all less than 5 users and my setup is not designed for anything more than the family. Also of all the services, Mastodon base install was by far the most resource intensive of all of them. It’s definitely made for more than 100+ users and quite quickly used up all my hard drive. Their caching system needs some work if I’m honest. After self hosting for about half a year, I went with GoToSocial, which saved me 100s of gigabytes. It’s no faster or slower but the same clients work with it. It’s basically designed for less than 10 users which is nice. No issues after about a year.
