Can anyone tell me the advantage of selfhosting Lemmy?

I have my Raspberry Pi which is only doing pihole atm and I've got an M2 Mac mini with some spare resources with docker installed so I've got hardware for it but what does it actually do?

Honestly Plex/Emby/Jellyfin whichever you prefer is a gamechanger because if you have a large library of content then it just cuts the cord from the subscription services.

I've always been happy to pay for them until I went on holiday last January and realised that none of my services were working due to going to a country that was out of the way and the only way to access them was to use a VPN.

So having my own Netflix is a great thing.

Tailscale while doing the above is also really cool

The first Mad Max movie, just feels like a slog at times to get through and when you finally finish it there's no resolution it's just a cliffhanger into the next movie.

Yeah that's a good way to put it, when I picked up my Air recently I was extremely frustrated by how it didn't quite do things quite like Gnome 40x and how it missed some of the Windows things like Window Snapping but once you get used to the gestures it's not so bad.

Also yeah virtual desktops are a god send on Gnome/MacOS it's frustrating to not have them on Windows.

undefined> If you’re trying to get it to act like Windows or your favorite Linux window manager, you’ll find it frustrating. However, if you absolutely insist then you should just install a third-party window snapping tool.

I mean there are things in Gnome that I prefer but what I found useful was to start using the workspaces / virtual desktops more and using the three finger swipe up a lot on my Air. That helped when using multiple profiles on chrome a lot because using cmd + ` was just not it for me.

Auto snapping would be great but at least you can tile windows to left / right so that's something and you can add keybinds for it
