Thank you for the advice. Honestly, I'm a young 20 something that just wants to output creative stuff for people to read and enjoy. None of this really popped in my head, so thanks.

I still want to host my own site for it though, but I will consider the self publishing angle as well. Thanks for the advice.

Hey hello, self-hosting noob here. I just want to know if anyone would know a good way to host my writing. Something akin to those webcomic sites, except for writing. Multiple stories with their own "sections" (?) and a chapter selection for each. Maybe a home page or profile page to just briefly detail myself or whatever, I don't know. It doesn't have to be fancy, and I apologize for not knowing how to describe this well. I've just been searching and searching and I don't know what to look up to find what I want, it's extremely frustrating. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm barely in my 20s and I don't even know what a slide deck is lol.

Huh? But I use Libretube everyday.

It's extremely ironic that the anime started to pick up when the games started to fall off.

I can acknowledge all that and still say fuck discord. I never mentioned herding everyone over, I just explained why I think it's a parasite and why I have a strong disliking towards it.

Idk about them, but it's a centralized, locked-down service that absorbs and holds information and data hostage like tomorrow.

As someone who's trying to completely avoid Discord, it's quite frustrating how many communities and projects will put important information in their Discords, and nowhere else. You have to have an account to see it, and it also isn't searchable in a search engine. It is actually quite terrible for pretty much everyone.

Element/Matrix lets you peek into public chats and servers/spaces without an account, so it can definitely be done. They won't do it though, because they gotta make you feel dat FOMO lol.

As an American who has to hear about shootings pretty consistently, I'd like to say the fear can be pretty justified. I don't really know what it's like to live in a world without guns and their presence, so it's hard to imagine life without the necessity of them to protect yourself. It's just one of those things that's hard to understand unless you've lived in it I guess.

Kobo devices are the way to go. Easy sideloading, multiple FOSS operating system alternatives, and generally they've got some nice n' cheap options.

I genuinely mean no offense, but what did you rice? I don't use MacOS much so I find it hard to actually see what is changed from standard MacOS.

AntennaPod and Podverse are both really good.

Seeing meme videos on Peertube is bizarre, but I dig it.

CLI/TUI Client? (lemmy.world)

With all the new clients popping up, is there any interest in the development of a TUI or CLI client for the terminal? I hope so, cause I'd really like the option. Browsing rtv for questions and help was a godsend, it also helped me not get sucked into scrolling.

Hey! I'm trying to get into self hosting and was wondering what would be possible with a single Pi, at least until I can get more capable hardware.

The servies I'm interested in would be things like a pihole, music server, photos server, a few personal fediverse instances (mainly owncast), a small Matrix homeserver for my friends, etc, etc. Media server but that's obviously way into the future I think.

While I don't intend or think I can run all of this on one Pi, I just want to know how much is possible. I'm really thankful for any feedback I may get. My apologies for the noobness if I'm completely wrong about all of this.

One last thing, any recommendations on any other services I should try out as a beginner?

Edit: In hindsight, I really do I wish I asked about the ability of sharing these services with people and how that would affect the load and performance. One of my biggest goals is to have this used by family and close friends.

Do you guys have any particular memories of your first manga experience(s)? I remember walking into Barnes and Nobles as a wee little lad, and asking one of the kind store ladies where the "anime" section as. She told me that it was called manga, and guided me to the proper section. I still remember going every so often with my mom, it was magical every time. I can't even remember how many times I re-read the first volume of One Piece.
