They look similarly minimalist. I like reeder because it really boils thing down to the essential.

Agree that Reeder is excellent!

Right!

Wefwef. Mlem is showing promise.

Yeah. I’ve heard both sides of this. My view is that we need to be able to keep two thoughts in the debate simultaneously. We can’t only focus on short term issues, but we can’t be distracted from harms in the now either. Compare with global warming. We need to implement solutions now with an eye to long term goals.

Yeah! I use both, but the feddit one doesn’t have a good sort function (that I could find anyway). In the Lennyverse one is easier to find active communities IMO.

Exactly!

https://lemmyverse.net/communities (not affiliated, but I think it's the best discovery tool I've found so far)

Something like this should be integrated into every lemmy instance!

Great insights! Yeah, you're right. There is nothing they can get from the machine that really compromises anything important. It is indeed the compute resources that are what needs to be kept an eye on.

It's a really good idea to put usage restrictions in place. There are already alerts in place, but I have scaled the triggers way down, as lemmy really doesn't use a lot of resources ATM. Will look into restrictions also.

Thanks! Good insight. For sure password-ssh is disabled and strong crypto used. I think this I’m at “good enough” for what I’m protecting atm.

Great perspective. Thanks. I am running a different production web server with fail2ban, knock and other mitigation strategies in place. In the case of lemmy Linode does automatic backups. I’ll have a think about how much work I want to put into this. A hack or crash would mostly be an annoyance.
