Hm, I could have looked at namecheap too. I ended up going with Porkbun because of well… it is cute and lovely. Not a great reason to choose a service, but it came highly recommended.

Power tripping in a niche on some corporate owned social media website will never be impressive.
Mastodon has benefitted from news articles and the sheer novelty of an alternative to Twitter, even before Elon Musk bought it out.
Lemmy probably won’t have the same fanfare, especially given the stigma Reddit has, like it was a secret to have an account, or talking about it betrayed you as some weirdo or pervert. Whatever, Reddit never seemed to have the same social acceptance as Twitter or anything Facebook owns.
I think it is good to have a community that is self-filtering. Let’s keep the IQ high on this one (with the exception of me, of course!).
Interesting people are not interesting all of the time, and following people usually just results in your feed loading up with complaints, gossip and drama.
I want to talk about things and ideas, not people.
That makes sense. Discord basically a hub for all things geek and popular culture. As much as I love gaming, I do not form my identity and life around it. I can’t imagine the pain of even searching for a mature conversation on there.
I have never liked Discord. It is like IRC with more steps, more surveillance, an excess of security features that doesn’t actually make anything secure.
I should give Element another chance. I think I had it before, but I was confused on how to find rooms.
I think the algorithms are not quite doing what you expect, on top of server delays or whatever.
The way I am set up, I start in ALL and sort by HOT. If the post start to feel too familiar I will go by active, then new.
What I feel works the best however is to subscribe to all the communities that you are interested in (don’t be precious) and you will find that the subscriptions page has the content you want. It is nice, they don’t get lost, or you can jump into a single community and see all they have.
The most useful way to use lemmy of course is to post content.
