Its not my project, but my reasoning was that the selfhosted version would give you the same features as premium. I didnt look into detail into it tbh.

He claims he was the main contributor, I think, not the author. Fair disctinction imo. I can see the drive to keep something alive if you contributed a lot to a project, especially if you know the codebase well and think its very much feasible in other environments.

For me this begs the question, why does this question always come up in selfhosted communities? ;)

For me I like self-hosted apps because I switch between desktop and laptop, and some tools are nice to have on a phone too. This way I pull it in-house, and can use it everywhere. Besides that, there are two other laptops in the house and if I am using those I have the same tools available as well. It its something I need to help the kids with, and they need to use it more often they too can use it regardless of device. Plus its one less thing to install when setting up a new device.

Only trough the mobile ui. Or at least not trough the default ui on lemmy.world

I’ll keep that in mind next time
