My favorite used to be torrentflux, these days I mostly use transmission

https://lemmings.basic-domain.com (basic-domain.com since I already had it) lemmings because I loved that game, and it had a "lemmy" touch to it

For lemmy I would suggest keep hosting it on the vps tbh, some trouble that can come with federation of several servers if hosted from your home network.

I use a vps to host lemmy for multiple reasons, rest of things I selfhost though, even dns for most of my domains (Exception of the domain for lemmy)

Proxmox is nice, xcp-ng works I suppose, even though its a bit... niche thing 2TB disk limits though

Even the very few things that I hosted that required Windows... I actually hosted through Wine just so I could skip running a windows server...

To be fair thats pretty much the IT gig in general, not the docker part but the rest copy/paste run commands, then learn from whatever you screw up couple of years later you might very well end up working in IT

5th June there was about 58k total users lemmy/kbin combined I think, now there is about 320k if not more

Used it quite a bit, and I overall like it, have earned a couple of TB upload because of it.

No man's sky, plenty of people who told me it was a bad choice (and at the time it truly was) I love how the game is today though

Hetzner vps, 2 vCPU, 8GB ram & 80GB SSD (Fully intended to setup a mail server at one point on that server hence the 8GB ram)

Had to do the same, too much of a habit searching through reddit so complete block was neccessary .

Lemmy (since why not), portainer, Plex & Jellyfin (I mostly use Jellyfin), vaultwarden, qbittorrent, autobrr, virtualmin, couple of ircd servers, nginx proxy manager, couple of websites and considering actually selfhosting email even with all that crap that comes with it. Probably a few I've forgotten about
