Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

According to the documentation, the allowed instances field is to restrict federation to specific instances.
I'd recommend leaving it empty and leaving federation open
thank you! that's exactly what I was looking for. Was originally testing and added lemmy.world as an allowed instance and was wondering why federation wasn't working. TYSM!
Yup, I had the same question and was frustrated I was missing so many comments from instances that were federating. Just leave allowed blank and then block the bad ones unless your really concerned about bad instance actors.
current blocked from lemmy.ml:
I gave a quick review in comments below how to go about finding posts and comments on lemmy, hope it helps ;)
Not to hijack the conversation, but once a server is open and set up what are the best ways to attract people to it? Just start telling people about it?
Interact with other communities on other servers. Your Instances will start to populate that way.
That makes sense, but I can't even get my search function to return anything at the moment, even if I copy+paste direct links. Is there another way I can access other servers from my own instance?
