Fuck yeah, good shit. Seems like you've got yourself sorted going forward then.
>altforum thread on /g/
I would think that the web development generals would be a good fit for sharing and discussing personal projects. Unfortunately, from what I can tell they only really discuss the professional side of things. How to live in the biz or how to get in the biz. Hope your thread didn’t get immediately annihilated.
>How did you go about setting this up?
I set this site up with dated methods, it’s a VPS living on someone else’s hardware using someone else’s code (so yes, copypasta). Get comfortable with *nix CLI and understand that web servers are very obvious, juicy targets for botnet operators along with other bored/malicious actors. Try hosting something on your own hardware on your intranet, that should be a good introduction to things. Here are some lists that may be of interest to you:

Cloud computing and app hosting services may be another good place to look rather than using a VPS/VM, since imageboards and textboards require barely anything in resources. You could probably get away with the free tier hosting on AWS or the like. Personally, I haven’t touched that stuff though.
>getting a pet
I couldn’t do a pet; I’d feel awful for it while I was away. Getting two makes sense, I might have to reconsider when I feel a bit more righted. I’ll enjoy the brief and fleeting company of wild birds when I can for now, simply watching them be birds is fulfilling.
>getting into coding
The hermit life is tempting, isn’t it? Ohho. I missed the mortis chat thing you mentioned, got a link? Chatrooms shouldn’t be too terribly difficult to set up based on what you need. A web client to your own IRC server might be exactly what you’re looking for. I saw Matrix.org pop up after a little bit of digging for a Discord alternative, perhaps that fits the bill?
>I wanna make and host my own website
The info above werks but you may want to look into cloud solutions, employers seem to like those a whole lot more.
