I basically have nearly everything within home assistant showing up in HomeKit and never had issues so far. Home assistant is the player in the background running all the automations while exposing the most important devices to HomeKit (esp. for voice commands with Siri) Only downside using HomeKit as the „UI“: Notifications are very limited.
Smaller steps. One at a time. Test.
I started off with HA, integrating all my devices i had at once, totally enthusiastic as I was. There were times where I installed several automations and integrations within just a few minutes, not giving them time to work for them selves, especially not in a „productive“ environment with wife, kids, neighbours, etc. all involved in the system.
Lots of automations broke or did not work as expected and I saw my self confronted fixing so many building sites at once.
I am through the roughest part. But should I start from scratch any time I will most surely start I’d small, test, iterate and move on.
Reminds me of “If nobody knows what you are doing you’re not doing it wrong.”
That was my concern. I think I will give it a try with the hidden items per user login.
But what I was wondering: how do folks show stuff on their framed e-ink displays as shown here?
Thanks for your answer. Is there any way to hide the logbook, energy, etc. or only share the specific dashboard?

By clone you mean migrate? Double content will piss of Google and the users, searching for the/a new community.
The problem is not a technical nor architectural problem but a user/usability issue.
Look at the workflow how people create a new community. They are registered on one instance, probably fixed to that bubble and probably don’t interact with other instances at all (subscribing to other communities is a pain. Other problem.) They might (if at all) search for a similar community on their instance. If they don’t find one, they’ll create a new one. Searching every single community is not implemented in this flow. You need to call up feddits search to do so.
My suggestion: Either do a name (fuzzy) check when creating a community, listing the ones already existent on other instances. Or at least implement the search feature from feddit.
Have you subscribed to cross projects already and if so how was your experience so far?
This reminds me of my windows laptop asking me for my finger print, while me using two external monitors with a docking station and the laptop shut.
