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.

As I'm prepping my self-hosted setup I wanted to know the community's thoughts on Netbird, the FOSS and completely self hosted alternative to Tailscale. I often hear Tailscale used as a super easy plug and play way to share your home server contents with other people, so how does Netbird fair in comparison? Is it as easy? Is it a more buggy experience, more complicated, or does it just work? Any pros and cons, or niche edge case situations I should know about? Thanks in advance!

I want to set up a collaborative writing/socializing platform for my friend group using something like Calckey/Misskey, and just want to know if this is possible.

The non Fediverse options all look very lacking, and are meant for corporate/business environments anyway. It really feels like there's not many good and modern options for this sort of thing, but maybe there's better alternatives. Who knows, I'm really new to this scene.

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.

I've been on Matrix for a few weeks now and like it quite a bit, but I'd like to join another homeserver to aid in the decentralization movement. Are there any trustworthy ones the people of Lemmy know of?

Edit: After looking, the only ones I found that were "recommended" are weird lolicon servers, or aren't federated with ANY of the rooms and spaces I want to be in. Why is the home server situation this bad??? Is Matrix's federation system different/worse or something? This is making very little sense to me.

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.
