IIRC it also pulls item information from relevant (open API) databases, so you get the synopsis etc filled in?

Well, you can use/link a mastodon account if you already have one. Not sure if it supports lemmy accounts.
Hm, didn't know of NeoDB. That's a nice find, I've been looking for a way to list my collection online, that I could in theory self-host.
Isn't that roughly what OpenWebUI does?
If you already have a Nextcloud instance you could try Cospend. It's a nextcloud app, but looks really simple to set up.
Most of the relevant issues they link to has been closed and/or dealt with.
Yes, you can expose jellyfin via a reverse proxy or through a vpn like tailscale to your friends.
Quality and speed depends on what client they use, what transcoding hardware is in the server and your internet speed. For most usecases, a newer Intel based CPU can do 5-8 streams at once without issue, so it will likely depend on your internet connection.
I have an Intel N100 based mini PC on a 1Gbit/s upload connection running Jellyfin that I share with some friends. Usually 2-3 streams at once and it handles it well. Most of my media is in H264/MP4 with AAC audio, so they rarely transcode.
No, I sync my bookmars via Firefox Sync, so I haven't had the need for it.
