Lemmy does seem to have enough content and user engagement for my needs. I've noticed engagement going up the past month but wasn't sure I was making that up in my head.

I really haven't felt the need to go back to reddit much. But the niche communities could use a lot more users posting and creating new content.

It depends on what you plan on running and how much RAM each VM would potentially need. I run proxmox on my 11th gen NUC with 64GB of RAM, 8 VMs, 1TB nvme for VMs, and 500GB SSD for OS. I have had no problems for my workloads and have a bit more room for more.

In the meantime you can take steps to potentially limit your exposure to PFASs like drinking filtered water using reverse osmosis. Here's a 2020 study on the different types of filtration and their impact on PFAS:

I use this with grapheneOS and it provides a great amount of customizability that I want. I've had no problems with the app at all the the past year I've been using it. I keep all the apps that require Google to function locked away and only use them when I absolutely need them. I no longer worry about apps constantly doing god knows what with my data while I go about my daily life.

I consider this lazy programming. I've had it happen a few times but luckily it has been rare for me.
