There’s a really good podcast episode about this called Sex Appeal, from the podcast More Perfect (which is a podcast all about the Supreme Court).

That’s actually incredible!

Beans is tied for second for me. It has the smoothest scrolling but lacks some features of Memmy. I wish it wasn’t $30 (going up to$50 next week) for lifetime though. I’d buy it for $10, maybe $15, even as a second app, but $30/$50 is too steep provided Memmy is free and more future rich, as well as Voyager.

What did you find out about hexbear?

Yea, honestly I think this is where an app can really shine vs using the website (currently).

Another example: Formula1 communities are on lemmy.world AND lemmy.ml. As a user and member of both, I don’t care which one I’m seeing/engaging with, I would rather they be grouped together so I can see the content from both at the same time rather than having to go to each community.

I guess this would be akin to Multireddits (I think it was called?) where you can pick and choose which communities you are subscribed to are grouped together. Meaning you could also do this for communities that don’t cover the same specific content, but a more general category, such as “computers” and have all computer related communities you subscribe to in that group.

So if I understand correctly, I would spin up a Calibre docker (a la https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/calibre) and then spin up a separate Calibre-web docker and point it to the first one?

Thanks, I’ll have to educate myself on it. Appreciate your time.

but then you lose out on what IMO is the killer feature.

Which is what?

That the secure tunnel thing I keep hearing about?

Do you use that for lemmy as well, as in your instance is private?

Oh interesting ok thanks!

Ah nice. I have an Unraid server but thus far have all the apps and shit I run accessible via LAN/VPN only. I have pfsense and know how to mess with haproxy a little to reverse proxy things through, but I’m not sure how secure that is or if that opens the attack surface up drastically, so I haven’t really dabbled in allowing external access to my server. Might look into it.

Sweet! I’ll check back after awhile.

Out of curiosity, how’s you score a .it domain? I have one, but only because I have family in the EU. IIRC, it was a pain in the pass to get, had to jump through a bunch of hoops to “authenticate” being in the EU.

Oh that’s yours? I was just on the map site to try and find an instance near me and liked your name so I tried to sign up and your signup form says I need to know you.

And now I’m sad.

Where are you hosting it and what’s the cost? I’d spin one up if it wasn’t too expensive.
