  • If anyone hosts public instances of degoog, you could use one of those in the future!

    If you have an old computer or anything like that lying around, I highly recommend trying out self-hosting though

    edit: you might be able to host something on ios using ish and a local port, or you can try out pikapods for a monthly subscription. Or you could try a vps if you don’t want to host on your own hardware although I have an old thinkpad I’m using and that’s working great





  • Just got it up and running! UI wise it’s super slick both on my phone and PC. It feels a lot better than searxng. My searxng instance also started getting blocked or something because my queries were failing, especially for images.

    Are there any plugins or themes to checkout yet or is that ecosystem still developing? I’d love to know the process so I can take a whack at making a theme or plugin myself
















  • Same person, new user cause I’m transitioning LOL.

    Well, I want to make as many people feel loved as I can, and I want to feel like part of a community. Both of those are achievable goals outside of polyamory, but I anticipate that I will be able to love people in a more full way if I am not worrying about whether a relationship is romantic or not. I guess that is a big part, that I get all in my head about where a friendship is going and (if I’m in a relationship) if I’m going to have to set some boundary to keep it from getting romantic or whatever, and I don’t know, if I’m polyamorous I don’t have as much to worry about.

    Also, I tend to be attracted to all kinds of people because I’m pansexual, and I am attracted to probably about 1/3 of the people I meet, especially if they are my age. Probably less than that but it feels like 1/3. I am also interested in the variety it would open up to me, whether that’s finding partners with shared hobbies, going do different activities with different partners, or exploring sex in different ways with different partners.

    I am really excited about being polyamorous. Unfortunately, my partner was not interested, and so after a month of thinking and talking we decided to split up for that and some other reasons. So that’s sad. But I also feel a sense of freedom from not being monogamous and I am optimistic about where this will take me.

    Thanks for asking!
