And it breaks easily. I still can see several posts on my private instance that have been deleted. The delete command never made it to my server for any number of reasons. As some posts never make it to my instance either. I guess in the long term some kind of delivery queue and guarantee would be nice.
I put things behind traefik and authelia if they don't have their own authentication. But anthing that the reverse proxy can offer would work I guess (like BasicAuth middleware on traefik)
I would say in that case they have multiple users, then the tab will show all topics that any of them is subscribed to. It will also show topics that were subscribed to in the past or searched for I think.
Subscribed and All will show the same for a selfhosted single instance, as 'All' will only show communities, that someone on the server is subscribed to. Which is only those of yourself if you are the only person on the server.
I actually like PairDrop better, as it allows also linking devices that fail to find themselves on the network (for example if you run it behind a reverse proxy). It is obviously pretty similar though.
I have had no success yet trying to run kbin behind traefik, so I am on lemmy right now. Works pretty well actually.
However I don't seem to be able to subscribe to kbin magazines. I can see lemmy sending out the follow message to the kbin servers' inbox, no error messages, but no activity from the kbin server follows up and it stays at 'subscription pending'.
Tried it with quite a few kbin instances. Does it work for someone else? Trying to find the reason why they do not like my lemmy instance.
It gets quite extensive for me by now

And a few additional ones for selfhosted apps like FreshRSS Checker
I backup locally to my NAS with Synologys Drive software, the NAS does a 10 day rolling snapshot of the backup folder. First I then had Hyper Backup set up to do a versioned backup from the NAS to a cloud provider.
But I got scared of the thought that a corruption would propagate through the whole backup chain. So now I do an additional backup for the most important stuff directly from my PC with restic + resticprofile to a Hetzner storage box. I know they do not give any promises about data reliability, but I think chances of the local and remote backup breaking at the same time are pretty slim.
Restic is sending a fail/done ping to an uptime-kuma instance I host myself to monitor the backup which then notifies me with ntfy if backups fail or are missed for a couple of days.
And it would be nice if ads would not be played with an insane volume. Every time one sneaks by my uBlock it blasts my ears out.
But only once, even if you open the content several times. And without transferring all the Web UI with it. And on the sending servers' own terms related to when to send or if at all. On the other hand the server has to send any changes in a subscribed topic, regardless of you being interested in it.
Overall I still would still think it is a benefit to run your own instance.
