Welcome aboard! My experience here has been consistently positive.
I’ve been half-heartedly looking for a new tilde for awhile (had a bad experience on one of the bigger ones, and most others share e.g. an IRC server). I contacted a Spanish-language tilde (texto-plano.xyz) awhile back but never heard anything, and their site now says they haven’t been accepting new members since at least February 2024. I’m most tempted by SDF since it seems like the biggest “independent” setup, but am not 100% sure what I would actually *do* there. I barely have the time and/or inclination to keep up my presence here and on a couple discord servers.
None of this is directly relevant to you, of course. I will say that self-hosting can be fun if you find the right apps, but it does leave one in isolation for the most part. All the more so now that search engines are becoming increasingly worthless.
Honestly, self-hosting could be okay, I just don't want to deal with the actual upkeep of maintaining a server of my own, you know? My day job involves servers and software and I think as far as geminispace goes, I just wanna be a user.
