  • Lemmy is the closest thing yet for sure.

    The main pros: decentralized*, productive conversations, no karma, open source.

    The main con is that “decentralized” is a good idea, but it only works if practiced. Most people have jumped onto lemmy.world instead of spreading out. Minor cons include a lack of decent video embedding, missing some niche communities, and small bugs.

    Overall I’ve rediscovered a lot of the internet that I had simply stopped checking because reddit took over my digital life. I read HackerNews again, the NYT, and a lot more. It’s nice.








  • See if you can get a used Quadro P4000 from someone local to you (eBay in the US, for example). I got mine for about $80. It’s basically just a GPU for video encoding, but it’s done a fantastic job handling everything I’ve thrown at it, and it’s a huge upgrade over a CPU.

    You can also post on the c/selfhosted@lemmy.world community (I hope that link works! Here’s another if it didn’t)
