When I was still using Reddit, it looked like most people in that community were just running personal home media servers using basic as fuck raspberry pi setups or just old hardware that could handle it, like maybe a modded Xbox or something.
Here on Lemmy, it looks more like you’re all actual networking specialists hosting damn near everything from home automation to business-level server systems for your home business. You guys are serious; Reddit isn’t. Respect.

At the end of the day, networking specialists are in the minority by a considerable degree
I’m on both but got into the weeds thanks to reddit. The mods over there tried making an independent forum but it never got the momentum lemmy got.
