I'm stuck at a crossroads between what to do with my own. Not sure if I want to make it more of a documentation/wiki style site for everything I'm interested in or if I want to treat it more like a blog. I've got it hooked up to ActivityPub now and I'm intrigued by the possibilities that brings to the table, but I don't think I'd want it to replace my Mastodon account, which puts it in a weird sort of limbo.

So I want to know, what do you use your own website for?

Just basic information about myself and maybe a thing or two I've done on the Internet.

Someday if I get the time or the server resources, I'd add subdomains to it to host other stuff, for example "lemmy.example.com", while "example.com" would just be the basic information, and probably a directory to all the other subdomain stuff.

A reverse proxy will solve this for you in an afternoon of setup :)

I don't have anything hosted just yet, but when I do, I'll look into a reverse proxy

Depends, my setup is basically the same BUT:

When you access example.com, you see a generic site tells g you this is my Domain and used for some personal projects. On it is a link to blog.example.com (obviously a blog) and other public services like search.example.com (being a searxng instance).

But there's a fuckton of subdomains that are not linked like nextcloud.example.com, myTelegrambot.example.com, etc.

Also not all are hosted on the same server and some subdomains point to other IPs. For some services I do have another domain, but in general, they're just grouped with some logic.

Not sure what a reverse proxy would offer me here...
