As someone who likes having control over their data and especially backups, and someone who normally enjoys self-hosting things, I honestly might do it. I'm not sure if I'd want to host a lemmy instance or kbin instance though, since I know they all federate together anyway. I may also end up waiting until the software is more mature too before looking into it.

One of my older family members even mentioned that they heard about a Reddit blackout, so it definitely is being talked about.
They still have to host users, feeds, and comments which can add up very quickly. Also, they do host some images as well like when people upload to them.
I was hoping the Heat would win but I'm really happy for Joker, he really earned it. Plus of course I'm super happy for Jamal Murray too.
They're very personalized to my setup, so they're not particularly useful in general - I'd recommend something more like using this guide which seems to be pretty good: https://jumpcloud.com/blog/how-to-use-rsync-remote-backup-linux-system
It is pretty unfortunate because that's a rather serious bug, it gives the impression that Lemmy is less active than it actually is which is not great for newer users unaware of the bug.
edit: I'm not sure if it applies to "active" or just "hot", still not great though.
edit 2: Apparently it does apply to "active" as well, interesting.
I usually write my own scripts with rsync for backups since I already have my OS installs pretty much automated also with scripts.
I think it's a UI bug.
I use my own scripts with rsync etc, I don't back up my OS itself since I have installing it automated with scripts as well. I just back up specific things I need with my scripts.
For me, I use Xfce so the decision is already made for me, Xfce does not support Wayland yet. I figure by the time Xfce does support Wayland it'll probably be ready enough for me to use in general.
I thought he was gonna take a plea deal?
