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.

The community is originally from lemmy.world, I subscribed on my own instance. In my example it was just "lemmyworldtest", but a proper use-case would be to subscribe to https://lemmy.world/c/techsupport on my own instance and post an article to that community. Since the community has its home on lemmy.world, I would expect/need my post to be visible there in order to actually receive some support.
Also, at the time I'm writing this, your comment to my post is not yet visible on my own instance although I'm subscribed there as well.
You might want to link your self hosted instance so we can get a better sense of what’s going on here.
Ok, here is a link to the community replicated to my own server: EDIT: https://lemmy.pathoris.de/c/[email protected]
Things don’t automatically propagate to other instances FYI. Someone from a remote instance would need to follow your community
I get that, but it is not my community. It's the community on lemmy.world, to which I subscribed.
Sure. But things don’t push to remote communities, it’s a pull system. So can you see the lemmy.world community you subscribed to from your instance?
Hmm, I may need to freshen up my understanding of ActivityPub dynamics
I understand that I complete communities are not pushed, but for articles this seems counter-intuitive:
My comments to remote posts are automatically replicated, so it is not only pull
What's the point of subscribing to a remote community via my server if the articles I post to that remote community are not pushed? My own instance is basically useless if questions to e.g. support-communities remain only on my own instance and I have to create an account on the remote instance in order to actually interact with that community.
Yes, although the comments to this article, for example, are still not replicated. But it seems comments are slowly arriving on my server...
