Another vote for Synology here. I have 2 RT2600 and 1 RT1600 between myself and my parents houses. They have been completely bullet proof and the oldest one is going on 7 years old now.

I think you’re underestimating the number of requests that a server can handle. Even my tiny instance currently sees dozens of requests every second and is very lightly loaded. A single request per minute is an immeasurably small load.

AFAIK, you can’t load comments on posts manually. You only get comments that are pushed to your instance after someone has subscribed to the community containing the post.

I agree. Sadly it seems the rest of the world does not. Hopefully as Lemmy matures we can get to a point where features are not pushed put half-baked because there aren’t enough people willing and able to give thorough code reviews.

This made me realize why I found this whole question so confusing. I write code professionally, but don’t really do open-source professionally or personally. There’s just very little reason for two people to be writing code in the same file in the same week in my job. If it does happen, it still doesn’t usually come close enough to cause a conflict. The rare case I find myself resolving merge conflicts is usually because I have some super old stash that I decide I actually want to apply months later.

Lemmy, mostly :D. I also recently started up my own Matrix home server. I took a stab at email, but it was more trouble than it’s worth considering my relatively newly acquired cloud hosting IP is on several blacklists. Now that I actually have a server running again Gitea might be next on the list of services that gets added.
