That's amazing! I'm gonna set it up on my instance
Community discovery on self hosted Lemmy instances
About three weeks ago, I started my own Lemmy instance. It’s been running great, but theres something that keeps pulling me back to my account on one of the large instances.
I like to spend my time on Lemmy scrolling “All”, which I think is a pretty common thing. However, on my instance where I am the only user, the only communities that show in “All” are the ones I’ve manually searched for and subscribed. Yes, I could go through all the popular communities on the large instances and manually subscribe to all of them, but that would be tedious. Also, If a new community got popular, I would never know it existed unless I checked a larger instance that already has it federated. Has anyone had a similar experience? I wish that when you subscribed to a community, all communities on its host instance would federate.

Very possible. It hadn't been wet in a while, but it was definitely treated poorly before I converted it to electric.
I'm still quite new to eskates (and skateboards in general) so I'm not the best person to give advice, but here's what I've figured. It seems like building your own is generally more expensive than buying a prebuilt board. However, the prebuilt boards may have less swappable parts, which make it harder to maintain, repair, or upgrade. To be honest, I never really considered a prebuilt board because I wanted to have the learning experience of building my own. For me the build process was relatively plug and play, besides soldering new connectors on my motor wires, drilling holes through my deck, and carving the sides of my deck to allow for the bigger wheels. If you're thinking about building your own, google is your friend. There are a lot of online blogs and forums that can help you. I suggest you plan everything before your buy anything to make sure all your parts will work together.
Yes, I had carved pieces off the side of the deck to allow for the huge wheels. Definitely broke at the skinniest spot.
Yeah, I only built it about a month ago, but the deck was super old and neglected. Was planning on getting a new one, but ended up keeping this one because it worked. I liked how it looked kinda crappy but could go pretty fast. sleeper longboard lol
