Hey all!

I'm fairly new to Home Assistant and have just created a few dashboards to be able to view my router statistics and be able to restart them via REST if need be. Love being able to do this seamlessly from one place.

It got me thinking however, that I can only really access the dashboard when I'm on my internal network. I know that there is a paid Home Assistant cloud that would enable me to view my dashboards and such publicly and securely, but I was wondering if this community has set it up themselves for free and securely.

Would anyone be able to guide me in the right direction?

If only Linux had an official Xbox and Game Pass app so that I could play my Xbox games on it natively without having to stream it from a webpage :(

The Web app is really good! The only issue I have with it since it got updated to 0.18 is that when you click a post link and press back to go to your community, it reloads the entire community and takes your scroll position all the way to the top. It's really killed the experience on mobile for me and it didn't do that prior to 0.18 I found.

Anyone else having the same issue?

I'm having the same issue as well. Might have to use the webapp for now until they fix the bugs.

Good point. But what makes it a bit more complicated is the fact that from the get go, lemmy is promoting fragmentation. When I have to choose an initial server to login into, I'm bound by their restrictions. I'm finding that I'm not able to find duplicate groups from other servers (search doesn't show it up) that I know exists and has more users that I'd like to take part of. Would be nice to have a way to streamline that somehow, but the idea of federation shows a lot of promise.

It's shaping up to be a very cool platform and I hope with time it gets bigger than Reddit. I find the UX to be a bit clunky and not visually appealing at the moment and also the way communities work are a little confusing. Because of federation, you can have duplicate community groups and that can make content a bit segregated.
