Start setting up passkeys where available, that is the safest and easiest way, I store mine on my selfhosted vaultwarden but you could use other ways. As long as the devices you use are secure, no passwd leaks, spoofing attempts or phishing can threaten you.
I will make a prediction. Once you get the domain and set it up, the images will still not work. Are you using an external proxy? I was battling this for days, Lemmy backend refused to create thumbs for my local images, federated content worked great. IF you get this issue, send me a message, I found a workaround.
Federation is fixed, search from the fediverse for my users, communities and posts is fixed, npm is fixed with two custom locations /api and /pictrs and the advanced parameters I found from a guide:
location / {
set $proxpass "http://10.0.0.227:1236/";
if ($http_accept ~ "^application/.*$") {
set $proxpass "http://10.0.0.227:8536/";
}
if ($request_method = POST) {
set $proxpass "http://10.0.0.227:8536/";
}
proxy_pass $proxpass;
rewrite ^(.+)/+$ $1 permanent;
# Send actual client IP upstream
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
The ONLY main issue is the image post mystery. I can’t make image posts, they are converted to link posts. I checked and I have no thumbs in the database for my images, the federated images have thumbs. Does anyone have a clue why this is so hard to work right?
Test 2, I am close.

The post reached lemmy.world, so I got this going for me… Thank you in advance!
If it’s for a homelab or small project refurbished models are still a good deal but you should hurry, my vendor is running low on hardware that was sitting for years… I got an R630 (40 cores, 64Gb RAM) on offer a few months ago for peanuts…
If you don’t use 1000 eur gold plated RCAs, it just doesn’t sound right…
