I completely understand and agree with your decision. I've subscribed to three groups on lemmy.world (Self Hosted, Home Assistant, and Travel). I don't have to get my fix, and would rather see the community built the right way. Hopefully it'll be back in the future.
I'm still relatively new to HA and feel very much like an amateur. My favorite one is turning on the outside perimeter lights (after sunset) and unlocks front and back door when my in-laws arrive.
