i kinda want to upload all my shitposts gallery on PeerTube but i can't even find a single instance that is open for registration lol

Let me give you my opinion, specifically as a React developer, if you don't mind.

And let's be clear: I intend this to be a constructive criticism. I hope you understand and don't take it the wrong way.

To be honest, I don't know how good or bad federating one-way is. This is more of a "people" problem rather than a technical problem.

But, to be honest, what I am bothered by, is the fact that the website doesn't give an attribution in the UI about which instance certain users are from and which instance certain certain community are from.

Take a look at this post: https://clubsall.com/posts/theyre-trying-to-charge-luigi-with-terrorism-imagine-that-qfF82

The UI says that the post was posted by u[slash]BytesOnBikes. If I didn't know better, I'd have assumed this was from a user from clubsall. But if you click the username, you realize that the link says u[slash]BytesOnBikes[at]slrpnk.net. I think this would be confusing as a user. What if there is the same user under the username BytesOnBikes from clubsall? At least if you include the instance name, user would know right away that both users are different. But if you didn't include the instance name, I feel like this can be abused to impersonate user. This is a bad thing to happen to your website, don't you agree?

Now that we both understand that lack of attribution is a bad thing to clubsall... What's stopping you from adding an instance name to the username? I'm sure the app has a way to know which instance certain users are from. From what I gather, I feel like this is as easy as appending a string in the code.

I haven't even talked about the community name on the UI. Or the ethicality of misleading attribution.

The things redditors mentioned are very good already. Primarily screenshots. Please, please always add screenshots to let me have a general idea of the UI.

I've read this mentioned many times. Is it really that bad XD

Syncthing is one of the best software I used. I use it to sync my notes.

separate the data-directory from the appdata-directory

Would you mind explaining more about this?

To me, good documentation is the number one thing that makes a selfhostable application good.

I agree. If you don't mind: what are your qualifications for good documentation? Do you have some good examples of good docs?

A lot of stuff tend to end up trying to be too easy and you can’t scale up, or stuff so unbelievably complicated you can’t scale it down.

I see, it's probably good to have some balance between those. Noted

No, I don’t want a second container for a database.

Unless you're talking about using SQLite:

Isn't the point of Docker container is to only have one software/process running? I'm sure you can use something like s6 or other lightweight supervisor, but I feel like that's seems counterintuitive?

In FY24, Amtrak achieved the following key results:

• Ridership: 32.8 million customer trips, a 15% increase over FY23
• Ticket Revenue: 2.5 billion USD, marking a 9% increase year-over-year and the highest in Amtrak’s history
• Total Operating Revenue: 3.6 billion USD, a 7% rise from FY23
• Adjusted Operating Earnings: A 9% improvement to -705.2 million USD
• Service Expansion: One new train service was launched, with four additional routes expanded

This was my experience with personal projects too.

Unit tests hinder progress so much. End-to-end/integration tests are often flaky.

The thing is, I still want to test my own project, because it's a good idea to validate whether or not your code works or not...
