+1 for Liftoff. I've got 4 apps and wefwef pwa going and I keep finding myself going to Liftoff more and more frequently.

You're thinking of lemmygrad, but the rest is right
I recently found out Nova was purchased by an analytics company. I don't have any proof or solid reason to think they're up to no good necessarily. But I have zero desire to use something as integral as a launcher that's owned by a company like that.
I moved to Neo Launcher and it's been 95% as good as Nova. The knock is just some fine tunings that Nova had, but I'm not having any issues with Neo.
It feels kind of silly but I'm also looking forward to buying it again.
Another vote for downgrading. I also started trying out "Connect for Lemmy" and it's been pretty slick.
Might be pineapple slices.
I saw something that a fix was in the works, but also that it seems to only affect chrome based browsers. I set it as a PWA from Firefox and have never had the orientation change on me unexpectedly
I see the anybody but GoDaddy thing a lot too. The controversies page on Wikipedia does a decent job at pointing out some of the reasons people dislike them.
Looking at feature set though, I'm in the same boat as you. Part of it is me being lazy though. When my registrations come up for renewal in a few years I'll take a serious look at porkbun.
What is your resource utilization like? I know larger instances obv have their own quirks but one of my unknowns is what specs for the server.
I'm also curious about disk space. I've seen people self hosting say their usage grows about 500M per day (but no mention on the amount of communities they actively federate) which would fill up my Hetzner box in about a few months. Having never adminned Lemmy, is there some sort of content deletion job that removes stuff after X amount of days?
Lastly, from what I understand the federated tab only shows stuff from instances (or is it down to the community level?) where at least 1 user in your home instance is subscribed. Did you just have to go out and browse communities you're interested in and follow them yourself? Or maybe with an alt account?

Thanks for the .atom tip. I've been messing with Diun to try and keep up on updates but I run so many different things it ends up being useless by the time I get around to wanting to actually do the updates. I'll add the ones I super care about to Miniflux though and see if that's more doable for me

Yeah nothing is quite perfect yet, and I'm figuring out my priority features as I keep going. The future is bright though.
