A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Lemmy is like a public library of the internet: it's one of the few places where you can exist without the expectation of paying either through watching ads or through direct payments (lemmy.ml)

Yeah something like the CX22 https://www.hetzner.com/cloud/ which is € 4.51 / month is enough for lemmy.

What I do instead is I host a series of services on my VPS and I pay about 20 EUR/month

Lemmy
Mastodon
PeerTube
my ruby on rails website + blog
my old PHP website + blog
another old PHP blog
my sisters PHP website
my sisters static website
Firefox Sync server
my bands static website
a matrix server with some bridges
a syncthing instance
a TTRSS instance
another static website

and I probably forgot some things.

Love this! Did you start out on the Fediverse or did you start on another and then move to your own?

I ask because I've been considering hosting my own for the family. I already have a server.

The thing holding me back is I've gotten my Mastodon and Lemmy accounts really nice with content and it's daunting to think of moving/remaking accounts.

Yeah, both with Mastodon, PeerTube and Lemmy I started on my own instances. Actually not quite, I had an Mastadon account for a day somewhere before I decided that I want to use it for real and installed my own instance.
