Uhmm, there is already /c/selfhosted and /c/selfhost which are already a duplication I don't understand, so why have a third?

MODERATORS
the selfhosted subs are specifically for selfhosting applications and the services that run with them like nginx, while this sub is geared more towards running a server at home (hardware, software, networking, builds)
Selfhosted is usually referring to having your own hardware at home, with VPS as a secondary choice. So I still think those are duplicates.
The creator wants to emulate r/homelab which is just getting upvotes for pictures of expensive server racks tucked into closets. Lets be honest here.
Indeed. Please don't clone Reddit's bad habits here.
Exactly, luckily, all the communities that tend to be about low-effort content don't really take off here. I've noticed Lemmy is much more about discussion than little dopamine hits
Isn't this just self hosting?
