I think this is my biggest pet peeve about lemmy, the lack of any feedback to let you know it’s still searching. Right now it says there’s no results, then when you least expect it, there’s a result!

Being a highly technical guy, I struggled to get everything running on the server that I am hosting other things on. The biggest hurdle was letsencrypt, but other things weren’t working quite right. I ended up just paying for a new ubuntu vps so I can run the ansible playbook (I use arch linux everywhere else). That turned out to be super simple and “just worked”.
