I can do both of those with Lemmy. Maybe it’s per app? Summit on Android allows both instance blocking and feeds.

There’s at least one modern recreation of the Duke Controller. I’ve never used it myself, but it seems to be good:

I saw the image first without reading the title and was really scared thinking that it was some horrifying sous vide…

Is Synology still a good option? I remember them getting some flack a bit ago. Something about hard drives I think?

I’ll kept a look out for deals like that.

I took a look at Nextcloud and really like it from a usability standpoint.

My question is what would my hardware options be? A form factor like the off the shelf NAS units is ideal since they will have to go on shelves next to the routers. If it was just me, a server rack would be fine, but I gotta keep it clean looking and on the smaller side. Also, I would like to keep the hardware price per house not much higher than the $300 range (excluding hard drives).
