Gatekeeper is a daemon I wrote to see what my IoT hardware is doing in my home network. Still developed, it should already be useful as an alternative to default DHCP & DNS servers in home routers.

Should I host my own instance if I don't intend to run a community?
I like running my own too, and agree it’s a bit of a chore to get content.
I feel the biggest hurdle is finding communities. I wish the instance would automatically index communities from federated instances. I don’t mean track posts/comments, just keep a record of the communities existence.
