This is definitely the momentum. I, for one, am happy to jump on it. Especially because I can selfhost it.
yes, leaving this here so I can look back and celebrate how far we've come!
It'll certainly be interesting to see where the future takes us!

The it's fun being a refugee. Also being able to comment and get involved without being it lost to the masses. Even if it doesn't become "mainstream" with enough seeded users who decide to stay this place can hopefully grow a nice community with a wide range of quality discussions.
Selfhosting is very interesting. i am currently trying to get it to work but I am still having some issues lmao. maybe ill figure it out tomorrow
One of the best tips I can give is: document (and use docker/docker-compose).
Start off with just typing it in a textfile somewhere and gradually move to using Obsidian or something, before you know itr you've setup a bookstack instance that you'll reference when eventually shit breaks :P
Yeah uh, I kinda just ran the Ansible thingy. I don't actually plan on hosting any communities on my instance, I just wanted to have the @thaumatur.ge suffix on my username lmao. What I've been doing every time I fuck up so far is just delete all the files and reinstall with Ansible. One problem I've run into is DigitalOcean blocks outgoing port 25 and I have no idea how to bypass that. Can I send emails on the other ports?
