Figured out Lemmy in about a day… Trying to setup my own instance… 4 hours of failure so far. Lol

Thank you. You’ve given me some starts to look into!
Did you end up using a hosting provider? I’m interested as well but can’t host locally.
That is fantastic! I hope you enjoy it! Amusingly enough, I read it often as a vacation book. Something about actually being detached from life’s everyday bustle allows it to “hit” good for me. I just flipped through my book to look at the chapters and remember it. It’s been a bit since I’ve read it. Time for a fresh re-read. Let me know your thoughts after and enjoy!
Hello from another reddit refugee as well.
Millennial born in the later 80s. Central US. I work in software engineering but rarely have much to do with it outside of work.
First off, I am incredibly happy to be here. It’s feels great to find somewhere that seems to be a community once again that also allows for me to also no longer feel like a “product” that exists merely for profit like all of the other social media sites for which I have ultimately left. After looking around at many of the lemmy instances, I read the side bar on this one and was immediately attracted to the prospect and ideals of this community while still being able to engage in the lemmy-verse (is that the term?).
A bit about me. I love: Ballroom dancing, tabletop RPGs (D&D), renaissance faires, gardening, being creative, playing music, current events and worldnews, ww2 history, antiques, reading, watching old movies. People tell me I’m an old soul often. I’m goofy, an introvert that can be extremely socially but only for a limited amount of time. I used to play and do regional tours in a rock band. Worked in the music industry for about 4 years but burned out quickly after the band. Favorite book is: “A demon haunted world: Science as a candle in the dark” by Carl Sagan. I’m an atheist since about the age of 18ish. Related to religion, Secular Buddhism is something I have been reading about lately that is something that I have been enjoying. “What the buddah taught” was a fantastic book that was a great foundational look at buddhism in general (not secular). I used to game a lot and still do on occasion but not like I used to. Exclusively interested in casual stuff nowadays. Played too many hours of wow… lol.
Most of all I love spending time with my family. I have an amazing SO and a young toddler that is my world.
I aspire to some day own a renaissance faire shop selling artwork my wife and I produce.
Yes, you need sudo.
