I use Vaultwarden hosted on my private server. It’s great, will never use another PW manager. and yes it’s cached locally so you’re good. on PC, at least via the bitwarden CLI, you do a one time login and that’s it. you’re logged in until you tell it to logout, logs you in automatically on restarts and what have you. plus it’s very easy to access on whatever pc or phone you want to use. for pc you can just add the bw extension and have your passwords where ever or just simply login to your vaultwarden page remotely. this has been a life saver for me a couple times when I needed a pw for something but I wasn’t on my machine and borrowing someone elses.

yeah for iOS ply:sub is the way to go. my friends and family who use my Navidrome server and have iphones all use ply:sub. Android friends use Symfonium.

honestly it’s better to just host your own private instance as if you want a lemmy and mastodon instance that others can also set up you not only have to admin it you also have to moderate it.

Also keep in mind it’s NOT just actual people signing up but you also have to deal with all the bots which WILL register en masse to your instances. a lot of people won’t mention this. bots flock to this stuff like flies on shit. It’s not worth it unless you plan on really dedicating the time to actively admin your instances.

I run Akkoma instead of Mastodon and Piefed instead of lemmy. both of which were easier to setup than mastodon/lemmy and less resource heavy.
