@silverpill@mitra.social Ah, I see what you mean. In my case I'm trying to find a general solution, not just for fediverse software but for everything TCP/TLS. I'm proud of how greenhouse manages to provide that while remaining "mostly trustless", but the usage metrics speak for themselves. No one seems to want to use it. And I don't blame them; besides some dogfooding that I forced myself to do on the greenhouse-alpha.server.garden domain, I don't use it myself. I already have port forwarding that works, why change?

I'm definitely interested in things like IPFS <--> HTTP gateways but I think they have the most value when they're hosted by the same community that uses them, so the incentives are aligned. (as opposed to, for example, the CloudFlare one 🤮 )

Having the homebrew servers dialable on the public internet is a pre-req for that.
