I am glad to see more people selfhosting their own. Makes me feel less out. Had the same issues.

I have so far been able to access and post on everyone else’s instance from my own. I do struggle with searching but I’ve considered that to be due to the large amount of people. Example was when beehaw crashed the other day.
So far, it’s been simple enough.
I believe I've had to put them in there if I wanted them to be easily searchable. It did seem I could access another instance but that mine didn't have any interest in collecting data until that was put in.
A very valid question I am also interested in knowing. I’m wondering how much management it will be for me - who created his own instance and am having to find all the other communities myself. Or if my instance is doing anything but providing me a unique instance address and name.
I haven’t tried, but I imagine federating will be a hassle without a clear way for the other services to exchange responses.
Proxmox at home xD
I think it’s more people tired of the pollution that took place, and trying to preserve the clean and friendly one we have so far.
I do personally agree with saving old ones, but I’d highlight them as legacy and then make only the admin be able to edit/create content there, with links to the new one still as suggested before.
Don’t burn books, but let’s not study incorporate the worst things and make them normal here. I think is the feeling.
I support the archiver program myself xD
Worth the read. I do wish as we post these for a summary of what the link is if it were at all possible. The one we got here was very limited and could’ve been a bit more expressive but it was absolutely worth reading!
I agree, which is why I offered no solution as of yet… I suppose best we have right now is resounding opinion of ‘most liked’ in a thread. I suppose that would lean itself to revealing the idea which holds the highest consensus.
In some tech groups, it may become feasible for malicious actors to feign intelligence, and that’s partly what I’m hoping this slowly curtails. Use of LLM and the rest in our discourse.
While I’m immediately tempted to request to be made a mod, I’m going to wait a day or so and see how frequently other new members start posting.
This is my day one, so not ideal for me to make any assertions or claims. I do enjoy the spirit that we have though so far.
I would be curious if there might be a way to give some sort of “attribute of credibility” that we could come up with.

Yo - absolutely!
WG easy posts the GUI on a separate port than the primary Wireguard port you'd need to open in the firewall. I think it's 51821 - but this can easily be changed depending on if you're using docker-compose files or a gui like portainer to manage this.
In my case - I am using Nginx Proxy Manager - and it even has it's own basic password requirement "Access List" availability. With NPM I'm routing that gui over vpn (local dns) but you could put it behind a password with limite security via Access List, or the step beyond look into "middleware" like Keycloak.
