Im just a noob thats interested. I havent tried it yet. But ive found a couple guides.

Check out the self hosting communities. Ill see if i can find the one im thinking of but Lemmy also has an official guide in the documentation.

Ah, so some websites and apps will employ methods of data collection to learn things about you and then either use that information to feed you ads or sell it to other companies (or both). A lot of us prefer to keep what we can private and not be tracked so thoroughly.
Companies will build profiles on you that learn your likes, dislikes, political leanings, relationship status, gender, race, health issues, etc etc.

Even if some people are fine with being tracked another issue is that many companies have poor security and your data can be stolen in breaches by bad actors or sold to bad actors.

It might be the worst app i have installed in this regard.

Im using the Tracker Control app to see (and block) trackers, ads, etc.

EDIT: Some say this is due to visiting links within the app and using the in-app browser. I will open links on the external browser and find out.

Automate what you can of your job and never, ever share those productivity hacks with your boss.

Spunds like he realized he fucked up and moved on which is nice. Lol

But with artificial intelligence-powered large language models like Microsoft-backed ChatGPT and Google's Bard, a massive corpus of conversations is being hoovered up. And in return, Reddit receives very little, he said.

If they take our content and build businesses on it, that's an issue," Huffman said. "If they build businesses such that people come to Reddit less, that's an issue."

"Our content" my ass. This is the same as the CEO thinking they're entitled to the fruits of your labor.

Yeah, seems that a lot of people are just porting over Reddit's subs, jokes, and behavior. That's not what i was hoping for when i joined.

I wasn't looking for a Reddit clone bit it seems it's found me.
