I feel like the Fedverse has the same problem that IRC has. There's (by design) no easy way to discover communities outside of your instance. You can search, and to an extent get relevant results, but there's no cross-instance (and cross- service) /r/all equivalent to help new users find communities they're interested in. Seems like if that piece could be figured out, the entire thing would be in a better place. You might end up with the endless scrolling issue again, but with enough visibly into communities, you might just be able to keep focused only on the ones you're truly interested in

I use tandoor myself, but mealie is also a solid choice

You fool! What have you done?!
Be careful with the Intel laptop chips and make sure you understand what you're getting. My work laptop has an i7 with 12 "cores" but it's 10 of the low powered e-cores and 2 of the hyperthreaded p- cores, so for heavy applications (like compiling) it's a glorified dual core i3.
I also run an unraid instance. I just use a regular tower build with an asrock rack board (the ipmi is nice), a r5 3600, 32gb ECC, and 4x4TB drives. I also have 1 ssd for vms and 1 ssd for a write cache. I think the biggest advantage of unraid is the simplicity once you grok how storage works regarding parity and how you add container apps. VM management and container management are extremely simple, and the next release (in rc now) is supposed to make ZFS a first class option.
I'll second this. Manage Engine does have its faults, but it's not terrible, patches a few Linux distros, and doesn't cost a ton.
NTA. That's some pretty entitled behavior. They've obviously put thought into it, and even with the stress of a wedding, i doubt they forgot about a special needs nephew. They should have talked to you directly and discussed this ahead of time. If anything, your sister ITA for excluding her own kids from her wedding for the sake of "noise"
I think it does too but not 100%. I feel like I see communities in All that don't appear in search and vice versa. I guess my point is that even this is a bit off-putting for non-technical users
