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.

That's very strange. Once a post gets federated, can a user not delete it? Can it only be removed with a purge from the instance admin?

It can, but the deletion takes time to sync to all instances I believe

Not sure, may need to check the github repo to see if it's a know bug (or an actual feature).

Pretty sure I saw many deleted comments in my instance over the past few weeks, so surely deletion works, at least for some of them. If not, you can always edit the comment and clear the content to simulate deletion. I just edited this comment and I'll see if the edit shows up in your instance.

edit: yep, edit works

There's this but I'm not sure if it's directly relevant
