I’ve been in Lemmy for a month and I’m quite enjoy using the service.

However, after the mass migration on both Reddit and Twitter, I feel like the services are now significantly slower than they used to be. So I’m wondering whether I should have some kind of personal CDN/relay service for “caching” information especially medias or just create a new instace and federated to public Lemmy instance?

FYI, I have a private OpenVPN served on DO and 1L “server” that run Proxmox for existing services to my home. Should be okay to have a Nginx reverse proxy, right?

    My bad, I thought you meant the other crypto (as did everyone else, presumably). I know cryptography was first, but I think it’s safe to say that that abbreviation has been irrevocably tainted.

      yeah, I’m slowly starting to realize that. That a few misunderstood, I could see that. If you’re new to things you’ve probably only heard in connection to cryptocurrencies. But everyone misunderstanding? It’s really shocking. Especially since the context should have made it obvious.

      As developer we have crypto libraries. Crypto systems. Crypto layers. Crypto functions… And so on.

      Crypto is cryptography. Cryptocurrencies are just a small thing, using cryptography. To have that “take over” the crypto word completely is as unnerving as waking up one day and mentioning to someone you washed your face this morning and they respond “What, like, the screen?” and then discover everyone only thinking of facebook, even with the context.

      I’m sorry, I’m rambling. It’s just so unbelievable to me to have this happen in a forum focusing on self hosting services. Where crypto should (hopefully) be daily bread and butter.
