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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Hello!

I've been thinking about hosting my own Lemmy instance, but wonder if there's an easy way to federate with other communities/instances. I like to browse the "All" tab, but that tab would be empty on a self-hosted instance I imagine.

Is there a way to get all communities of certain instances in my All feed? Or do I have to search up each individual community manually once?

You have to search them up at least once so they fill some posts, but if you want comments somebody from your instance has to be actively subscribed:

There are directories of all the fediverse like https://browse.feddit.de/ that can help you discover easier.

Could you in theory just have a bot user that subs to all known instances?

Wouldn't this result in absolutely massive demands on local storage?
