My partner is planning to start using the Grimmory (ebook reader) instance I set up on our home network, when AO3 is back up. I suspect this has been a wake up call for a lot of fans that media is not safe in one centralized place.

They’re hosting the content from their phones for other users? What’s the mechanism for that because that sounds really useful.
