I didn’t read the entire wall of text but didn’t see it listed. check out notesnook.

I have no clue what’s different, but viewing the community using my instance shows thumbnails for nearly everything.

Great thread, lot of reading for tomorrow

I use rsync with a systemd timer. When I first installed the backup drive it took a while to build the file system, but now every Monday it runs, finds the difference between source and target drive, and pulls just the changes down for backup. It’s pretty quick, doesn’t do any compression or anything like that.

Micro.blog as a platform is awesome, but I was sort of disheartened to see the users treat it like mastodon, lots of short blurbs and random thoughts. I settled into Write.as, it’s a similar activitypub blogging project, but it’s users seem to lean more into long form content.

All that said, the integration you configured with your domain is super cool, what a great way to setup a simple controlled web presence.

Edit: to clarify nothing wrong with users treating it like mastodon, it’s their space! Just wasn’t what I was personally seeking from a “blog” service

I’ve had good luck with https://akaunting.com/ but I did pay $50 for their estimate module. I think it’ll do what your looking for in the free version though.
