I find the Demon King and beat the game.

Sorry, but this made me belly laugh :D

I also assumed that quest was the end, went exploring and got the sword/mineru “too early”. I did think it was weird that I had to bruteforce my way through opaque fog there at one point…

Under settings, you can uncheck ”Show read posts”, hopefully it will help

I have considered renting a VPS and giving it a go as well! (Is that still considered selfhosting?)

Do you think all the federated content will require a ton of storage eventually? I can imagine that I will need beefier hardware as well as my instance grows, even if I’m the only user. Would love to hear about your experience.
