It’s about self-hostable alternatives to closed online software. It doesn’t say anywhere that the hardware has to be in your own home, just that it is about self-hostable software.
Similarly, !selfhosting@slrpnk.net is about self-hosting services, the hardware part is (even with the slrpnk folk) only a prefetence.
So feel free to discuss hosting your own services on a VPS here
Without a doubt a lot do, but I personally couldn’t care less. I have a server at home, but that’s just a necessary evil. If I could I’d just rent hardware for everything, but there’s technical and obviously financial limitations with that.
And hosting pretty much anything is practically identical regardless of the platform. Sure, there’s exceptions, like my Home Assistant server with z-wave, which needs to be physically nearby my other stuff, but things like fediverse instances and other browser-based stuff are exactly the same to maintain regardless of the underlying platform.

Thanks, good to know alternatives to Lemmy.world!
Nothing against .world, but variety and alternatives are the gist of lemmy.
I assume a lot of people interested in selfhosting also enjoy the hardware side of things, making it more prominent than VPS.
