What browser would you recommend then?

I'm on my 15 so I don't have time to list everything but a lot of your assumptions are wrong about what you'd have to learn/ need to set up on your own. Synology has a suite of apps for all your use cases that makes it quite easy to set up. And there's apps for your phone (yes android) to connect to it from outside of your network.

A good weekend of shmedium effort and you can have it all set up and running no problem.

If your powers unreliable btw you should invest in a battery backup UPS to protect sensitive products.

The sentence they wrote right before your quoted sentence answers your braindead question.

Your first sentence describes your own comment.

Intentionally missing the point to try and make your own?

Right yah I felt like that was probably the case when I was typing that honestly, that's my bad, I guess I should've said only really started taking off months ago, and is still rather small.

Which is a big assumption to make on such a young site.

My comment threads are constantly broken for some reason, always all out of order

Yah no shit I didn't say I'm starving bc of him. I asked for someone to make it make sense. Which you haven't, instead you went with "wah wah go use something else then" - really constructive conversation, why raise complaints about things that could be better? Why try to push for improvements in something you like/care about, that's what you're arguing for me to do. "Pay for it or shut up", how about I don't pay, and instead voice my opinion on the Internet like the sites designed for.

£13??

Mine is $20 for the remove ads option, how does that make sense?

I used sync for reddit for a decade. No way in hell I'm paying $20 for the ad-free upgrade. Explain how lemmy which is months old and a minute fraction of the size of reddit, should cost me more to browse ad-free than reddit? It's mind boggling that we're in the age where asking $20 for a 3rd party social media app is being defended as reasonable.

So to you you're lazy bc you didn't want to do that stuff? I feel like most people would consider you and anyone else like you not lazy since you got up and did it all despite that feeling. I think everyone gets those feelings and what makes someone lazy is submitting to them and not getting what needs to be done done. Personally.
