Excuse me if I misunderstood, but isn't that the purpose of the "Subscribed" and "All" feeds on the home page of whichever instance you have an account on? Or do you mean some form of auto-discoverability?

Understandably so, I think haha. But for me, abandoning my car has made me actually realize distances in my city. Relying on a car, I barely even considered the distances I was traveling, and how necessary or not they were. I was more concerned about where I could park the thing than how far I was traveling just to do errands. But on a bicycle (and just walking), the first thing I do is consider the route, and distance, and I came to realize a lot of the distances I thought are best driven are... extremely walkable, or bikeable. And the distances that are a little far for a bicycle (in my current shape), I questioned why I even need to go that far. Especially if you're in a city, there are a ton of businesses everywhere, it was easy to look for and find closer alternatives.

So I guess for me personally, it really helped me contextualize the distances I was actually traveling, and helped me more concretely view my city and what's around me, compared to just driving through liminal spaces until I reach whichever destination I was headed towards.

Out of curiosity, could you clarify "close proximity"? Because I certainly agree a bike is not viable if you are in the countryside. However having switched to bicycling and no longer driving my car, it has shrunk the world around me far more than driving ever has.

Couldn't agree more, and what about asymmetric prescriptions? This has been part of why I've never really been able to get into VR in general, the accessibility of it just isn't there.

Local server running my NAS, Technitium DNS, Jenkins + build nodes, OpenVPN, Forgejo, my Debian package mirror, the central LDAP server for auth, Lemmy, and a couple straggler services. Still working on setting up some more stuff for me and my housemates.

Running everything on an old dual Xeon box running TrueNAS, works wonders with no downtime so far!

Finally taking this as a reason to learn and understand ActivityPub and the Fediverse more. And other than it's discoverability issues, been a blast. Glad to have finally been thrown out the door by Reddit and forced to move into the new wave of the federated FOSS web.
