    you also need to remember that this is literally a turn key product, that literally every cloud provider sells

    I am unaware of server products that I can just buy, plug in, and get up and running in minutes with my own ActivityPub instances, media storage/streaming, XMPP messaging, and etc. If they really exist, please share links.

    There’s certainly value in doing this stuff the hard way, but the goal should be for self-hosting to be as easy as signing up with Google, Facebook, Spotify, etc. There aren’t enough people with the time and curiosity to figure out the current state of self-hosting and make a dent in the three website problem.

      im not saying they do exist, i’m saying that what you’re talking about, is something that doesn’t exist, for good reason. Because this is literally already a market place that has done it’s job.

      XMPP? Discord, it’s literally discord. Storage and streaming? The cloud, netflix, etc. It’s already a thing.

      There aren’t enough people with the time and curiosity to figure out the current state of self-hosting and make a dent in the three website problem.

      and yet, here we are, on lemmy. Funny how that works. You simply have to be willing to put in time and effort if you want to reap the benefits. You simply can’t wish for everything to be handed to you on a silver platter.

        Jellyfin and Yunohost are two projects that have simplified self-hosting and made it accessible for me. I just think more progress can be made in that direction.

        and yet, here we are, on lemmy.

        As far as I can tell, you are not self-hosting the Divisions by Zero Lemmy instance, so I’m not sure what your point is there. I am actually self-hosting my lemmy.crimedad.work instance with the help of Yunohost.
